We had the opportunity to review the American Standard Champion Slow Close Toilet Seat. It comes in both round and elongated shapes and a variety of colors to match any bathroom decor: white, linen, bone, and black. It fits all conventional elongated and round front toilets.

My kids are not longer slamming the toilet seats every single time they put the seat up or down when they go to the bathroom. It’s really neat. The toilet seat doesn’t make a sound. Plus, I don’t have to worry about the seat slamming down on their fingers. It’s sooo much better than the noisy, rickety, and sometime dangerous “normal” toilet seats! Once you have a slow closing seat, you’ll never go back.
Check out the pictures below. If I can take 3 pictures in the time it takes the toilet seat to close, you know it’s not moving fast!
There are many brands to choose from. Like with most things, if you want something to last, buy a name you can trust. With a name like American Standard, you know you will get a quality product. Upgrade your current toilet with the American Standard Champion Slow Close Toilet Seat now or when you install your next new toilet. Little upgrades like this make life so much more comfortable, enjoyable, and safer.

What a Great idea! Never seen anything like this before but we need one in our home!
I’ve seen these on HGTV, I’d love to have one.
LOL
This isn’t just for kids, but husbands too!!
I think I might definitely need this in a few years. Right now my 3 yr old doesn’t know closing it is an option (since his elmo seat sits atop it!)!!!!
Glad I could share this cool product with you, Jennifer. Every mom should have this for peace and quiet!
Thank you for sharing this Cindy! I totally need this!
It’s very nice! Just this morning my daughter was being loud while everyone else was still sleeping. Luckily, she didn’t slam the toilet seat too! LOL
Wow, that’s a great feature! Not something I ever even thought about, but it would be really nice to have!
That is a great product….for kids and husbands!
I have one of these & love it! I could never go back to the regular kind now-guess I’m spoiled :)
Thats really cool!
Wow, I never would have guessed there was a need for this! We have quiet seat closers in our house, but it sounds like that isn’t the norm.
We do not have this problem, but I did laugh and thought about boys accidentally slamming it shut on themselves like home alone ;)
I never even put the toilet seat lid down. Problem solved, hahaha!
I always feel like our toilet seat is going to break-great idea.
It is really a good idea, but it seems pricey. I usually buy the soft toilet seats so they can’t smash fingers, of course they only last about a year.
My mom has 1 of these & is so used to it, she always slams our seat when she’s over lol. The next seat I buy will be one though!
What brand was it, Rose? You can always find cheap products out there that don’t have the quality of a better product.
My Mom has one of these and I hate it!!! It broke (not very long after she got it). So now, it just closes whenever it wants! So you’re sitting there, doing your business, and it starts closing on you! Scares me everytime. And of course, my potty training toddlers are also terrified of it. Not a fan :(
It’s a wonderful idea, isn’t it, Jennifer? Why didn’t anyone think of this before? It is sooo nice to not hear toilet seats slamming, especially in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning. LOL
I’m not sure if they have an automatically closing one but that is a good idea, Brianne! :)
Wow-didn’t know such a thing existed! My oldest son is notorious for slamming the seat-going to look into this product!
Nice. Now if I could just find one that goes down that slow after my 5 yr old boy goes to the bathroom, we’d have no slamming and it would always be put down!
Ooo. Fancy.
