Having little children in the house entails a lot of extra considerations. Not the least of these considerations is the use of the toilet seat, especially if the child has just recently completed toilet training. The safety of the child and the comfort with which he or she can use the toilet seat is very critical in family bathrooms. Installing separate child toilet seats entails constant changing between adult and child sized seats. This takes up time that parents rarely have when they are rearing one child, much less two or more. The Rymax Family Toilet Seat provides the solution. From Rymax Designs, this combination toilet seat will make the bathroom adult and child friendly without the hassle of constantly changing toilet seats.
The Rymax Family Seat is basically a standard adult sized toilet seat with a child sized toilet seat attached to the bottom. It fits the toilet just like a standard toilet seat and installation is the same. The design is made with a slightly thicker toilet seat lid in which a child toilet seat is imbedded. The child’s seat can be lower by opening a simple plastic lock on the front portion of the toilet seat lid and can be locked back in place with a twist of the locking mechanism. This makes the toilet seat easy enough to use even for children who are just getting familiar with their way around the bathroom. The design is also simple enough with minimal moving parts so that clean up, which is inevitably often required when it comes to children’s toileting, is made easy.
For specifications of the Rymax Family Toilet seat, the dimensions follow the standard toilet. The cover is 36cm across and 43cm in length (including the hinges), which is slightly bigger to accommodate the incorporated child toilet seat. The adult seat is 38cm across and 41.5cm in length (excluding the hinges) in order to maintain comfort for adult users. The child seat is 14.5cm across and 20cm in length allowing for the child user’s comfort but maintaining the child safety and balance at the same time. The total thickness of the toilet seat is only 4.5 cm including the adult and child seats, so that it does not make the toilet seem bulky.
The Family Seat comes in MDF and polypropylene. The MDF version is a vinyl coated material that comes with the “Beech” effect and colors that are fun for toddlers. However, the polypropylene version is recommended since the plastic material does not chip, fade or stain. The polypropylene plastic is much more durable and offers a neutral hygienic look for the bathroom.
The Rymax Family Toilet Seat makes the bathroom child friendly and child proof. These can be purchased in home improvement stores and online. For ordering purposes, the packaging measures 32.5cm in width, 40cm in length and 47cm in depth. The MDF version weighs 22.1kg while the polypropylene version weighs 11.4.kg, with the prices ranging from 40-48 dollars depending on the location and specifications of the order.
