Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Worth every penny! Comment: This is a great product! It easily slips into my bag and we take it everywhere. My daughter is always afraid of "falling in" the toilet, and this is a great way to help her to feel comfortable when we are at someone else's house or have to use a public toilet. I feel better having her use a public restroom when she can sit on this and hold onto the handles instead of holding onto a questionable toilet. Much cleaner! Customer Rating: Summary: Brilliant! Comment: I LOVE this product. I have a little girl and this definitely takes the "eeww" out of taking her to a public restroom. I've also taken it to the park and it fits on those toilets too. I only wish the bag it came in was better. It comes in a ziplock bag. Customer Rating: Summary: very useful Comment: When my baby got potty trained, I bought a Fisher Price portable potty for use in the car and it's great, but i was looking for something smaller, to be able to carry in my purse. I ordered this seat in spite of all the negative reviews and I'm glad I did. If you put seat on the very front of the toilet, as one of the reviewers has already mentioned, not the back or in the middle, it works just fine. My only complaint is that it's not made of very thick plastic, so it bands slightly when my 2 year old seats on it. But if you hold your baby, while she's using the seat, as I do, it's not a problem either. I tested it on a quite a few public toilets and overall it's very useful and I'm glad I got it. Customer Rating: Summary: A little flimsy, but helps get the job done Comment: The fit on the seat isn't intuitive, but other reviewers who described how to seat the front lip in front of the potty were very helpful.
My son is 30 lbs., and the seat does bow in a little from his weight, but doesn't collapse entirely. For a boy, one should keep repeating, "Point it down, point it down," because there is no splash guard for absent minded boy toddlers.
I can see how a little tush might get pinched if the seat were not completely unfolded before he sat down, so it's important to make sure it's completely flat.
The design of going over the front of the seat makes sense now, as it minimizes contact between those curious little hands and a dirty public toilet seat. I keep Lysol wipes in my pouch to clean the bottom side of the seat before folding it up and storing it again.
It fits easily into a small diaper bag or a large purse. It's definitely something I want on hand on trips to friends' houses or public places.
I wish it were a little sturdier and there were a good way to avoid the possibility of pinching, but I will say my 2 year old is particularly squirmy, and he hasn't fallen in or yelped in pain yet.
The bottom line is, it is functional, although not perfect, and I would buy it again if I needed to replace it. Customer Rating: Summary: Great product - others are not using it correctly Comment: This product does a great job. It helped me with my concern of putting my child on a dirty public toilet. As she was starting potty training, she would immediately reach down to grab the toilet seat and plus was unstable without a potty seat. The reviewers who gave a poor review for fit and pinching are not using it correctly. We have never had this problem. If you place the seat on the toilet as it is pictured on the box, then, it won't fold, pinch, or fall into the toilet. Allows you to go out with a portable potty seat. Gives you and your toddler confidence when out in public.
