Step by Step Potty Training System

The potty is wonderful! I really like the fact that it has a toilet paper holder and a wipe dispenser attached. Really helps to teach children to wipe and makes it easy for them to do so. The seat is very soft and comfortable and the whole toilet cleans very easily. The only cons I could think of are some people may want a musical potty or a potty for travel and this isn't musical and not a travel potty.

My son is 20 months old and as soon as he saw a toilet his size he was so excited. He practices sitting on it, putting toilet paper in it, he even makes his own noises for number 2! He has not used it yet I got it early so he would be used to it and know what it is for. Nothing has broken yet like other people reviewed. I haven't put the urine guard on yet since he isn't using it and I read that other people had theirs break off. We do show him that number two goes in the bowl using it from his diaper and it has not stained yet.

This product is poorly designed and manufactured. [...] It is impossible to clean, and the split seat absorbs odors: a horror to have in the house. We'll replace it as soon as possible with a better training toilet.

This thing is GREAT! I love that it contains it's own toilet paper roll, makes it feel more like a real toilet. I had previously tried another potty and my daughter refused to even sit on it but she LOVES this one. Its simple desighn makes it un-intimidating and easy to use. My 2yo started using it even before we actualy started "training". The only downside I've found is that it does tend to slide around and needs a mat under it or to be placed against somthing solid to hold it in place.

I got this because I was tired of lifting my little man (he's 2)up onto the big potty. He immediately took to it as his Big Boy Potty. That was great. He uses it and can touch the floor with his feet. The lid is great and the extra base is helpful as a stool for hands washing. While it does work my main issues are with its construction and appearance after only a few uses. The pee shield for little boys broke off after only 2 uses. When he sat down his heiny hit the sheild and he popped it off. I thought no problem, but it actually broke the seat anchor underneath that holds the shield in place. It is basically a plastic pop rivet into the soft foam seat. The plastic brok so I had to use super glue to put it back on. This means it cannot be removed for any reason now.
It does stain. I clean it out every other use and that is about 4 times a day. The hard plastic container is fine but the soft foam seat has yellowing after only 3 weeks. The toilet paper holder is more of a distraction than actually useful. I think all parents who have a roll of TP next to their toilet can say a toddler and TP equals a big mess. The wet wipes container is only good with Kandoo Wipes. I like the contenelle ones but they are too big to fit in the container. Both of these items are more distractions than anything. I would buy it again because it is better than anything else I have seen.

This is an awesome potty! My son is already showing interest in it at 9 months.

Moms, Grandparents .. and just anyone that wants to help in potty training the toddler. This potty is sturdy and my grandson feels comfortable using it. We tried others and he did not like them, always had a different reason. By the second day he only had one mistake.

I really liked that this is low to the ground and makes it more sturdy than others we have tried in the passed. What I don't like is that the first time my son tried to sit on it, he bumped the deflector shield and it cracked the seal on the bottom of the soft seat which helps hold the shield in place. I definitely like it better than any we have used in the passed, I just wish that shield would stay in place. I hot-glued it and am hoping it will hold.

As another reviewer stated, the lid constantly comes off. Every time it does my daughter stands up, which makes it difficult. She does love to sit on it, but I wish it either had no lid or it was better made.

Overall this is a very good potty chair. We bought one for our daughter and she seems to like it. It is very comfortable and I like that it is similar to a real potty. She is only 18 months so we don't actually use the spot for toilet paper. The only things I don't really like are that it comes apart too easily so at first my daughter liked to take it apart. Also, it can be a bit tippy, but my daughter doesn't always sit still.

It is very easy to clean. I like the fact that is has a lid, but again it comes off too easily. My daughter does seem to like it though and has used it several times now. I am so glad we spent the money on this potty.

Even though we haven't done so, I like the idea of being able to attach the seat to our regular toilet. I think that is something that will be a great benefit when my daughter wants to move on to the big potty, but isn't quite ready to sit on the regular seat.
