Default How do I stop new toilet seat from slipping?

Just bought new plastic ones myself and have the same issue. It's a
combination of a slick material and bolts that are considerably smaller than
the whole they go through.



I had the problem in the past. What I ended up doing was going out and buying a
new seat that had a solid bar across the back where the seat and cover flip
down. Once I had one of those, there was no way for the seat to slip to either
side.... the other side held it in place and the bar kept it rigid.

This isn't the exact one I got (bought mine at Lowes) but you can see the bar
I'm talking about at the back of the seat alongside the hinges.
