More sanitary, less obtrusive! We like this low-profile toilet latch because it"s easier and more hygienic than others we tested. It not only requires less handling, you can disengage it completely once baby"s in bed. (Your guests will barely notice it"s there.) And it"s more sanitary, too, because it mounts to the lid, not inside the bowl like some (ick!). With push-button lock and red/green visual indicator, so one glance confirms that it"s locked. Discreet, low-profile design Easy, one-hand use with limited contact. Just push the button and lift to disengage. Locks automatically when you flip it down over the closed lid. Because it"s externally mounted, it is not a germ magnet like those that are anchored to the inside of the toilet bowl SecureTech™ visual indicator provides added safety and peace of mind for parents. (When the latch is engaged, the gauge turns green; when the latch is unlocked, the gauge turns red.) Great for company; just keep the lock disengaged in the upright position Fits standard toilets; not for padded seats Locked: 7 3/4"L x 7 1/2"W x 3 3/4"H; Unlocked: 2"L x 7 1/2"W x 10"H
