Oval or round toilet better for elderly?

[Anonymous]

We are making changes to our house to make parents safer. They may be moving nearby and visiting, and could end up living with us. We are going to install comfort height toilet. Contractor said we can do
Round or oval for them, but any tips for one over the other? My 2 daughters will be main users of the bathroom.

A tall oval toilet will be best for an elder. Add some grab bars next to toilet.

What they're used to, or prefer, I suppose? I agree with PP that the elderly tend to do better with tallish seats: toilet, armchair, etc.

I'd go round.

Oval. For sure.
