Lifting both lid and seat? Lid overlaps / wraps around seat.

Hello,

Most of the smart bidet seats (and most modern toilet seats for that matter) appear to have lids that overlap or wrap-around the toilet seat. This is great for avoiding gaps and for aesthetics, but it got me wondering, can you easily open both the lid and seat in a single motion or do you have to open lid and then lift the seat. It may seem like a silly question, but it is for someone with a disability and as a male they frequently use the toilet standing up.

Is it even possible / easy to open both at once with this type or should we be looking at one with a lid that sits above the seat, so you can easily flip both the lid and seat up in a single motion? This type of seat seems to be rare these days and the only ones I have found so far have not been compliant with plumbing laws in Australia. We decided that auto open/close would be a nuisance in a small bathroom and also my understanding is that manually opening or closing a motorised lid is harder / has more resistance (and is also not great for the mechanism)?

Many Thanks.
