I bought this potty chair for my Granddaughter who is 17 months old and beginning to potty train. First of all it looks just like a big potty, only it's their size. The perfect size at that. Her feet touch the ground perfectly. It has a cute smiley face on the 'tank' part, which is a great back rest. The lid easily opens and closes just like a big potty. It also has a handle so the child can 'flush' and on the opposite side of the 'tank' a retractable toilet paper holder that holds any size toilet paper roll. If you don't want to put the paper on it, just push holder in and it's gone! The other awesome feature is it fits perfectly to a big size toilet seat. At first I wasn't sure it was going to fit, I thought my seat was to small, but then I pushed it down until it snapped into place and WOW...it fits nice and snug! Doesn't move around or slide at all!! AND there are NO gaps between the little seat and the big seat. It's a perfect fit. To remove it, simply squeeze in the clips underneath and take it off. On top of ALL of these great features, it also has a sensor so it sings once the child goes potty. You don't even need a lot. I poured in a very small amount to test it first to see how loud it was or how much it would take to set it off and it goes off immediately once anything touches the sensor, which is located at the center bottom of the removable bowl. It plays a little child's voice singing a happy song, tells them to use paper and flush and is not to loud or annoying. For kids that might be frightened of it, you can very easily turn it off on a switch under the unit.The product is strong and will last through several potty trainers. I HIGHLY recommend this product!

I love this potty. I have bought every potty out there (cheap and expensive) and this one is the cutest, easiest to keep clean, keeps my childs attention, and just all round best little potty. Take it from a mom who has been through this three times when she says this one is a keeper.

Buyer beware- this is not the best potty for little boys. It has a great look and concept, however, the splash guard is a problem. You def need it if your boy is sitting down at first like mine, but it is removable which of course a 2-3 year old wants to take off and on a million times. If they try to do this while sitting, they wind up with pinched skin on their inner thighs-ow! And worst of all whenever my son pees or poops in the potty, the splash guard falls off and into the potty when he tries to stand up-Gross. We bought the fisher price frog potty for $20 cheaper and it is a dream. If you have a boy save your money and your sanity!

I actually purchased two of these potty's because I am a mother of twins (boy and a girl.) so I wanted to get them their own potty's. It is a GREAT potty if you have a little girl. My daughter absolutely loves it and it is very easy to clean, however I had to get my son a different one because the splash guard does not work at all. Everytime he went it slpashed EVERYWHERE including his face at one point!!! So yes, it is an EXCELLENT potty for a girl... I couldnt be any more happier with it, either could my daughter but does not do well if you have a boy!!

I have 2.5 year old little girl.

Point of Comparison: I had previously bought the Bjorn potty, which received rave reviews on here. My daughter did not much care for that one and we had little to no success on that one. I don't find my daughter particularly large but the other potty would leave a red ring on her bum and sometimes the white insert would come up with her. The Bjorn just seemed a little too narrow for her and, frankly, had no interest for her. So I bought this one up at a local store one day. I brought it home and she absolutely loved all the songs it sang. We have no problem with the ring around the bum on this one.

LIKE A MINI TOILET: It looks like a real toilet but it's just smaller and has a cute face on the back. It even has a fake flush knob and a roll for toilet paper, which I ignore and do not use, because I don't want my daughter distracted and playing with toilet paper. Also, it has the lid, which has never been a problem or led to an accident, because she couldn't get up fast enough. Also, my understand is that the top part could be used a potty seat to transition to the big toilet. Unfortunately, my toilet is oblong so it doesn't fit, but it's nice to have versatility.

SUCCESS: My daughter was potty trained really in a matter of days on this potty. In fact, in the beginning, I think she stood up too soon when she tinkled because she wanted to dance to the song. Not a big deal, just meant more trips to the potty because she was never quite done. We have no problem with the ring around the bum on this one.

POSITIVE FEEDBACK: She knows the songs by heart and really looks forward to that positive feedback on her accomplishments. Of course, her Daddy and I did the potty dance with her and made a big deal about every time she did her business, but it's nice that the potty keeps up the positive feedback even when Mommy and Daddy forget.

POSSIBLE ISSUES:I really have nothing negative to say about this potty. I will say though that with any sensor/battery operated thing you're going to get wonky results from time to time. For example, I think if water gets on the sensor after washing the basin, it can cause it sense action where there is none. On one or two occasions, I've had the phantom "toilet paper, toilet paper, on a roll, next to me..." going off in the middle of the night, which wasn't ideal since my daughter was sleeping in the next room. Also, sometimes it doesn't do a great job of picking up #2, but overall, the sensor is pretty good and I'm very happy with the potty.

NOT ANNOYING OR UGLY: Also, the songs are not incredibly annoying.And although I initially bought the Bjorn becuase of the positive reviews and fact that it's not a giant elmo toilet in the middle of our main bathroom, I think although this potty appeals to children because of the face, it's really not an eyesore.

I bought this for our third son. When I read the reviews I was a little leary of the "pee shield," however, after seeing this potty in the store, I thought I'd take my chances. Amazon.com had a fantastic price that I could not pass up!

I had potty trained my first two sons right after their second birthdays and had great success using another Fisher-Price potty. I had every intention of training our youngest immediately following his second birthday as well. As my other two boys are 8 and 10 years older than my youngest, I was in need of a new training potty. After receiving the Cheer for Me! potty, we fell in love with the adorable design! Our, then, almost-two-year-old wanted to immediately "use" the potty!

Yes, the seat does comes off very easily. In my opinion, that's a GOOD thing as it makes for really easy cleaning. And as for the "pee shield," I had absolutely NO problems with it whatsoever. I do not know why several reviewers disliked the design or why they had issue with it, but we had no problems. Perhaps it was because my son, having just turned two years, was a bit smaller than the children who were having problems with the shield? It may be dependent upon the size of your child. My two year old is just a bit over average in his weight and is average height...perhaps that will be helpful to someone??

The music is adorable and my son sang along with it. The potty has two different songs that alternate. One sings about the toilet paper, the other about being "big" and using "my own potty." The potty instructs the child to "flush the potty" when the song ends saying, "Now it's time to flush the potty!" Thus, my son would sit and wait for the instruction and proceed to "flush" his potty. He has now been trained for three weeks. While he still occasionally uses his Cheer for Me! potty, we are using the "big" potty now, especially for "#2."

The Cheer for Me! potty is a wonderfully fun training tool that was immensely successful in assisting us in potty training our 2 year old. I found nothing negative about the design. I can absolutely say it ranks with the best training potties!

My daughter is 19 months old and this potty has really peaked my daughter's interest in potty training. She has not successfully made a splash in it yet, but sure loves to sit on it and try. Getting close I think. She really likes the DVD as well and the whistle gets her to run to the potty chair. The only downfall I have found with it is that the back part of the potty can be easily taken off by my daughter....wish was more securely attached.

It easily comes apart into pieces which makes my granddaughter rather take it apart than do what needs to be done. Also the volume is so low on the audio responses it is hard to hear even for the little one.

I can't get my daughter to *stop* using this potty. She wants to be on it all the time, and she giggles when it sings to her. Be careful though, the songs get stuck in your head. "toi-let paper, toi-let paper..."

the good....it looks like a toilet, flushes like a toilet and is child looking friendly.

the bad....if you have a boy you will be cleaning up pee, and cleaning up pee, and cleaning up pee..the pee guard leeks where it attaches, the pee runs over the side on to the floor and around the rim and over the whole inside of the chair. every pee was a 10 minute clean up. i would not recommend this to anyone unless you hate them
