Great Product

Comments about Primo Foldable, Portable Potty Seat with Handles:
This is the best toilet training product I have purchased. So happy my 2 1/2 year old twins do have to hold onto a public toilet seat while using the restroom anymore.
Very useful!

Very convenient when out and about and public restroom is the only option. Haven't had any problems with it fitting different toilets. Stores easily in the diaper bag.
Very good quality
By Young Mum

Very good quality.What I miss is a pack of single-use-"wrappers" to wrap the foldable potty in before use and to throw away after use. This would be more hygienic, especially when using on public toilets (no cleaning after each use necessary)
perfect portable potty seat

super easy to use. at home, my 18 month old takes it out of the cupboard herself and places it on the toilet seat. she likes pottying on it.i feel she is safe when seated and the handles are perfectly placed for her little hands.
great product!

I have 2 and half years old twins (boy and a girl) right now only my daughter is potty trained; so I started looking for something that she could use on public toilets, I found this product and I love it and the best part is that my daughter loves it too. Every time that we go out the toilet seat comes with us. It is easy to clean (I always bring with me the disposable antibacterial wipes) and a plastic bag to clean and carry the toilet seat.
Good Product, but....

Encourages potty use outside of the house so that is a plus. Does not fit all toilet seats as description suggests though.
ehhhh

Maybe I'm stupid, but I couldn't get it on the toilet right. Tried to use it at a relitive's for a holiday and there was no way it was going to work out.

Not what I thought
By Frustrated Mommy
from St. Louis, MO
We had a terrible experience with this potty seat.I was in a public restroom with my daughter. When I set the seat up and sat her on it she and the seat slid off the potty while she was mid-pee. Not good! The stoppers on the front prevent the seat from sitting far enough back on the potty which caused my daughter to slide right off. I returned the product.

Does the job.
By quilla

Okay, well, we've had trouble fitting it on toilets, though in reading reviews, maybe I need to experiment more. Perhaps someone could post photos. That said, the very first time we used it was at Nonna's, when we caught our just-turned-3 y.o. son mid-poop. He had been using a toilet for pee fine, but had been maintaining that "pooping on the potty is too hard." So we threw this thing on the toilet and our boy on top and sort of braced him there since it didn't sit right. But, voila! He finished his poop and has been potty trained ever since. I used it again today when he asked to poop while at an open house at my other son's school. He has tended to wait until we're home (he likes "privacy"), so I was surprised. With pee, we usually just hold him, but for this I tried the potty seat. It fit terribly and slightly buckled under him, but it held up and he was able to finish, no problem.I'm still not sold on this potty 100% as I can't figure out how to seat it right, but I am going to try to better figure out how to use it. It mostly has done the trick for us, in any case. No pinching here, either.
Wish I had this for my first child!
By Tired Mama

Oh, my! I don't know how I handled public toilets when potty training my daughter! I absolutely love this seat, and so does every parent who sees me with it. I haven't had any problems fitting it on toilet seats in public restrooms despite them being enlongated. Just make sure the bottom edges hang over the front of the seat and it works fine. I fold it up and keep it in my handbag in the plastic bag it came in. So easy.I really didn't think the handles would protect my son's hands, but sure enough, he puts his hands on the handles instead of the toilet seat. Awesome!My only problem is that once I sat my son on it a bit too far back and I thought the seat was going to break from the pressure. It didn't, and I know to be careful how I sit him on it.Also, he has never pinched his bottom on the hinges, but I have pinched my fingers opening it up. Now I am more careful.

Love it!
By Jen

Very sturdy product, fits great on any toilet seat, no pinching problems here
Woohoo!
By Kelley
from Seattle, WA
My son loves the fact that this seat keeps him from "Falling in" We use it on the go, so he feels comfortable going in public places, and I don't have quite as big a "OMG" don't TOUCH that! Factor.The only drawback is that some toilet rims are wider than others, so the seat is barely deep enough and little boys can sometimes end up weeing on the floor a bit...
A Potty Training MUST!
By jordanalisa

This product is SO great. My daughter potty trained before she turned 2, and she refused to use a traditional potty chair. Her little tush was so tiny, she had to be held on to the toilet or she'd fall right in. I bought two of these, and we were in business! It folds up so small, I could easily store one in my diaper bag (in the plastic bag it came in) for when we were anywhere on the go, and we kept one at the house because it was her preference. I had one of the 'cushy' ones from a big box store, and it actually got pee inside the cushy stuff from normal use - GROSS! There is nowhere on this seat for anything like that to happen, and they hold up. Yes, they're thin, so they're not SOLID and sturdy. I haven't had one break, and the grippers keep them from sliding off or into the toilet. My son turned two last week, and we are JUST starting to use this with him... slightly different with a boy, but that's not the seat's fault! It takes practice! ;)
Works perfectly
By mollymom

We have been using this potty seat for almost a year now. My daughter has never had a pinch. We use it on every public toilet including the elongated bowls. As long as the lip of the front of the seat is snug against the public seat we never have a problem. When I read the reviews to buy this I think a lot of negative reviewers were using it incorrectly.
Great Concept...not so great design!
By Julie's2Sons
from Marlboro, NJ
The reason this seat is so portable and easily stored are also the same reasons it isn't very sturdy. When unfolded, and placed on the toilet, the hinge points make the seat seem flimsy and my child is an average size 2 year old. It does protect them from having to sit on/ fall into a public toilet, although I still wipe down the actual toilet before I use the foldable seat! I would buy the product again, but I would ask the manufacturer to think about moving the hinges to areas that wont likely pinch sensative little bottoms! (This hasn't happened to us but I am very cautious about it happening due to the location of the hinges.)
