After going through a couple pottys that left me with messes on the floor due to their leaks, I finally found one that doesn't leak! My almost 3-yr old son will sit on it and go potty and he loves to "make the music". The instant reward (hearing the music) is perfect and very motivating for him. I love it that I can actually hear when he goes and don't have to wonder if he's gone or not while he's still sitting. He has even figured out how to put the bowl and splash guard back on himself after I clean them. The only thing is after a month of use, the song doesn't play every single time he goes potty. Not sure if the sensor is out of alignment or what, but it plays most of the time. The chair seems comfortable and has nice arm rests and a back to it. He loves to read the book that comes with it, but we never get past the first couple pages because he's going potty and we're celebrating! We still have a ways to go, but I think we're finally on the right track with this potty.

My 32 month old son has been able to make potty for a year, but refuses to do so. Not any more! He loves this new potty! It works great! He knows how to point himself down so he doesn't make a mess with or without the guard. The music works perfectly. It's easy to clean. But the best part is that he loves it and WANTS to use it! Thank you SO MUCH Fisher-Price!

I normally am an avid researcher before I purchase these kind of products that I am very umfamiliar with. When we had to begin the potty training journey for our 2 1/2 year old son, I went to a BBRU and stood for quite some time staring at the different potty chair options. I finally went with the Royal Potty because I thought the music would be a good incentive for him to want to use the chair. Great concept in theory, but this particular product needs refining because there were too many negatives and I inevitably purchased a different potty seat.
Some of the problems I faced were:
1-The music kept going off at random times. He'd be sitting on it and the fanfare would play when my son wasn't actually "going". It gave the little guy such false hope!
2-The bowl is pretty small and difficult to remove. You have to give it a little tug to get it to come out. My son would always want to "help" and really created more of a mess than it was worth.
3-The seat has so many cracks and crevices that it was difficult to clean and sanitize. Also, it would leak a bit here and there.
4-My son is on the little side for his age- he's a skinny little thing. And bless his heart for sitting on that potty trying so hard, but when he got up his bottom was redder than a cherry. I felt so bad for him and can't imagine that it could have been comfortable for him.
The crown stickers, chart and book were cool and he enjoyed that aspect but I knew that for my own piece of mind that we needed a different potty. We ended up with the Training Rewards Soft Seat Potty & Stepstool by Graco and are thrilled with it. Soft cushiony seat for his behind, bigger bowl, much easier to clean, and overall just a better product. Good luck!

I really don't think of this as a toy. Our kids are slightly amused with the potty idea, but lets face it -- not always an enjoyable experience. It seem comfortable for our three little girls ranging from 1-3. Easy to clean and sturdy as well. The potty "detector" and music thing rarely works. And occasionally it comes on in the middle of the night with no one in the bathroom. But the kids do love the book that comes with it. But there are much better potty books in the book store. Nonetheless I'd buy it again from among the choices out there.

We bought this one because we thought the music would encourage him to potty. However, the sound isn't very reliable. Sometimes it would work and sometimes it would not. Then there's the times it would sound when no one was even in the bathroom. I was glad when the battery died, so that I wouldn't have to hear it anymore.

The worst part, however, is when it leaks. Even when he makes it to the potty, I still have to clean up.

The potty legs detach so that it can be placed on the adult toilet, but it isn't easy to get off and on. It scrathed the toilet seat. It also doesn't sit right for our son to get up on it by himself.

Sorry, but I don't recommend this potty.

The only positive thing I can say about this potty is that I never had a problem with it leaking. Of course...my daughter only ever used it two times. Reason number one is that it was VERY uncomfortable for her. Because there is no padding on the seat, after sitting for just a few minutes (which as you know is a part of potty training), her bottom would have a red mark from the seat cutout and she wanted to get off. At first I thought she just wasn't ready for potty training. Then...I bought another potty with a padded seat (because I was SO annoyed by the super sensetive "music" that played every time except when it was supposed to!) and she sat fine and is potty training great now. This potty was not worth the money. A rare fisher price mistake.

I bought this potty seat for my son thinking it looked great and fisher-price ALMOST ALWAYS makes great things, but I was wrong with this one. First of all, the music plays only when the chair is moved...it hardly plays when my son goes potty on it. Secondly, I would NOT recommed this seat for a boy. The "protector" is there for decoration only, at least that's what it seems to me...and let's not even talk about the book that was easily torn apart by a 15 month old...I should have bought the potty chair that can also be used as a stool, at least I could have got some use out of that...

I bought this seat because of the musical reward. My daughter was 18 mos. old at the time and got a kick out of the music, although she didn't start using the seat until she was 26 mos. old. By then the batteries had died so the music was not a factor in her use of the potty. The big problem with the seat is that, unless she sits all the way back and completely straight, we have a bigger puddle on the floor than in the seat! I am buying a different seat for her as I am tired of the double clean-up.

I choice this potty chair because of the music playing feature. My 18 month old loves music, so I figured this would be a great reward for "going". First of all, I should have looked at the "function" of the potty before looking at the extras. The bowl is very small and the guard for boys is pretty much useless. My son is average size, but barely fit on on the bowl. His little legs kept getting pinched between the guard and the sides. I guess it was a $.. learning experience and I will know what to look for now.

Not for my 2 1/2 yr. old son. The deflector does not work for him and the pee goes in between the cup and removable tray. Leaving me with a mess every time. Also, the music sometimes just plays all be itself and is very annoying. I do not recommend this product.
