Contoured Cushie Step Up Potty Seat with Step Stool, Blue/Grey

My 4 year old was not an "early adopter" when it comes to the potty, so she outgrew her little Elmo potty before she even used it. I started this with her when she was 3, almost four and she immediately took to climbing up and down (with a little help at first) though that was bad timing for potty training in general. We tried again 6 months later (also with much use of the Potty Time DVD and CD which I also recommend) and this has been perfect. I do find it annoying that she can pull on the handles while she sits on it and make the legs of this thing go up and down for fun, but it's important that this comes on and off the potty so easily. I do think it's important to supervise her coming and going since it would have to be bolted down to be perfectly secure, but I wouldn't want that and consider this a five-star item. It's light for transporting, easy to wipe off and keep clean, soft, and comfortable. And still not so small for my big girl! We had trouble with getting her to use public potties that are bigger than the toddler ones at her school/gym, and just taking along a seat and a footstool still wasn't cutting it. So I finally packed this up in a very big shopping bag with a packet of Lysol wipes and took it on the road . . . and she used every public potty we took this into without a complaint! It's really a bit bigger than I would like to carry around a store, etc. and I put a pillowcase over it next time so the part that stuck up out of the big canvas bag was no longer obviously a potty seat, but it's light enough to handle and WORTH IT. I've contemplated buying a second one to keep in the car but it's no big deal to just keep packing up the home one for now. This thing is a lifesaver for bigger kids! UPDATE March 2015 -- I did in fact buy a second one for the car, and it was totally worth it. Both of these got plenty of use and held up quite beautifully even as my tall girl exceeded the weight limit a few months ago. So I find it VERY sturdy. And I got very used to carrying this around in a large tote bag, it's very light, just not tiny, and still can't recommend it strongly enough. She only just stopped using it though she's been tall/big enough for a few months now to just use a regular toilet, but she loves familiar things and was scared of that feeling of "what if I fall in?" So while we are very glad and proud of her for deciding she didn't need her "potty ladder" anymore I have to admit it's been such an important part of our lives!

I have had to use several different potty training seats with my oldest because of the way our toilets sit in the bathroom. Every one of our bathrooms are designed different (not an uncommon thing) so we needed a different type of seat for each bathroom. After a while of shifting and trying out different things I got frustrated and started to try to design my own potty seat for my son. Luckily, I came across this seat because it is almost exactly what I was trying to design. The handles help to give him something to hold onto which was one of his biggest complaints about other seats. He kept thinking he was going to fall off. There is a place for him to put his feet instead of using a step stool which is almost never around when we need it. So, this all in one item is great for him to use but the best part is that it is light and folds up. It's very easy to clean, too. I have actually purchase two of these. One for my house and one for my sister for when we visit. Although a little higher price than I would like to pay for a potty training seat, it will get a lot more use and last a lot longer than any of the other ones that I have purchased! The only problems we had with this seat when we first got it was that we kept putting it on top of the actual toilet seat that was already there. It's apparently designed (which you can see in the picture) to go straight onto the toilet bowl. If you put it on the seat instead, I can guarantee that there will be accidents all over the bathroom. It wiggles a little when the kid wiggles which can make them scared. Even with these little problems this is still the best potty training seat we have ever had! My youngest is too short to use this but still wants to try as much as possible!

This product is pretty simple. Not a lot to it. But it has been a life saver! I have a son with special needs and he's pretty tiny. I'm trying to get him to potty train or at least partially potty trained and he couldn't accomplish this on his own because he was too short. Nobody wants to empty a bucket into the toilet that is required of regular training seats. And the seats without a step require a stool which isn't always in the bathroom to make it easy. This is perfect. I find it sturdy for my kiddos. Both my sons that are potty learning can use it on their own. It doesn't fit perfectly in my toilet "hole" but it doesn't affect the way it works. It just has a slight angle to it. The handles have a soft grip on them and there is a bit of rubbery traction on the feet so it doesn't slip. It fits right beside my toilet between the toilet and tub perfectly when not in use (folds like a folding chair). We love it! I wish I'd had one for my older kids. My only concern and I'm not sure what the actual cause is....is the seat. It's nice and soft and looks comfortable. But I've seen elsewhere online where some soft seats are causing rashes on kids. My son has a rash on his bum right where the seat touches. It could also be because his fragile skin is just now exposed to air all the time and it's having to toughen up from being "sheltered" in a diaper for 2.5 years. My older son that uses it is still in pull ups for the majority of the time. His skin isn't red from the use, however the pull-ups also do not cause a rash on my older son and they do on the younger so it might be that his skin is more sensitive to plastic materials. I'm hopeful that the rash will clear once his skin adjusts and that the potty seat will go on with use for a while until they are taller. I will update if anything changes.

Very good, my granddaughter will sit on the toilet & even ask for it, where she refused to use a potty

Update: two toddlers fully potty trained. This thing is in next to new condition & got passed on. Definitely a 5 star. Especially because the youngest liked to sit on it & lift the little ladder EVERY TIME SHE USED IT. Up, down, up, down, up, down... So I guess if you have floors that could scratch I’d put felt pads on those feet. The ‘lack of sturdyness’ was never an issue & caused no problems for us. My kids aren’t big kids. The heaviest is still under 35lbs at this point. The youngest was a tank… and is my little wrecking ball. Many of her things are destroyed (she’s curious, very curious, unfortunately for her belongings her curiosity is tied to the skill set of a 3 year old. Poor dolls. Poor anything that can be pried apart - but the toilet seat, survived!!) So I guess. This toilet seat deserves more than a 5 star. It served us well. Beats the heck outta cleaning a floor potty too. So far so good. Will update in a few months. Very easy to install - careful it bites. Will fit a standard toilet or comfort height. Not as sturdy as I was expecting but I’m not sure that will be an issue for the 22 lbs toddler (mom weighs a bit more, no I did not climb up it). The seat itself isn’t as contoured as the pictures but nice & cushy. Very excited to not be cleaning the floor potty anymore. Hopefully this removes the fear of the big potty for our toddler. If you don’t have a toilet to dedicate to your little person it does fold up very easily & could fit along the wall beside the toilet. Overall happy with purchase, curious to see how the toddled likes it & how it holds up over time.

Bei diesem Preis kann man echt nicht meckern. Man darf natürlich nicht allzu viel erwarten für das Geld. Der Stuhl reicht aber völlig aus. Er ist nun schon einige Tage in Gebrauch und soll sehr bequem sein. Wir hatten schon einen anderen in Gebrauch bei diesen lösten sich allerdings immer die Schrauben an den Beinen und griffen. Bei diesem Sitz ist das anders gelöst und sitzt super. Er verrutscht nicht und passt gut auf den toilettensitz. Wir würden ihn wieder kaufen und können ihn weiterempfehlen.

Lo elegimos por que buscamos en muchos lugares y fue un producto que en cuanto llegó nos satisfago, es fácil de instalar y de limpiar, lo compramos para la etapa de control de esfínter y funciono maravilloso, el plástico es bueno, el asiento es muy comodó para nuestra bebé, y a ellos no les cuesta para nada subir o bajar ya que no se resbala, nosotros por cuestión de seguridad le colocamos un tapete para que se moviera menos ya que si tu bebé deja caer su peso en los barandales laterales puede llegar a mover el asiento, Lo recomiendo 100%

This thing changed my life for good…my daughter refused to use the potty no matter how cute it was, she was scared to use the toilet still with kids seat…but this seat is comfortable because it’s cushioned and she feels more secure taking the side handles, the product itself is not super strong (quite flimsy) but it does the job, can be folded easily, price also is not bad at all.
