My two year old loves this potty. She's very petite and had trouble backing up to some of the other seats out there. The splash shield is small, but effective - so she doesn't have to try to climb over it and can just sit down. I love that the inner part of the potty is removable. It makes cleaning so much more tolerable! The stickers made it fun and "hers" - and we added the sticker that says "This Potty Belongs To" and the letters that spell out her name on the top.

She loves the fake "flush" sound that happens when she pushes the handle, too. All in all, we are very happy with this affordable and comfortable potty seat.

Sure the thing is cute and sturdy but is as messy as it can be. I should have listened to my husband who suggested we added some weight to our 99 cents potty.

To make the story short, the urine only stays in the small removable pot when your kid has perfect aim (not often at the beginning). If he misses only a little bit, the urine ends up between the white ring and the actual body of the potty or inside the body. As a result you end up dismantling and washing all the parts of the artifact EVERY SINGLE TIME. The main problem with this is not that you waste a lot of time, but that your little one gets the idea that going to the bathroom is cumbersome, complicated and frustrating. Next time you tell him: ?go pee in the potty? he will say ?no? with a good reason.

Do people who design this things test them in the field? Not this one for sure.

My son is 36 inches tall and 32 lbs at only 22 months... It's a bit early too potty train but all the other potties we've looked at are already too small for him!
We saw this potty and it was perfect for him!
You can personalize the potty with the cute stickers that come with it, and add a picture or any drawings that your child likes!
The added bonus is the flusher! You can record a short message - my son loves it!

After my 2.5 year old uses this, there is pee not only inside the potty, but under the ring, inside the potty under the holder, and ON THE FLOOR of my bathroom. It's just a mess and extremely TIME-CONSUMING cleaning up ALL of the parts, AND the floor after each use.

I purchased this seat a year ago when my son was 18 months old... just to get him used to it. Now that it is in use alot more, I am frustrated to have to clean the thing out all the time. I go to take the basin out to dump his acheivement into the toilet, and notice a happy little trail of it leaking out of the rest of the toilet. I even tried to put a home-made barrier in it to block pee from going below, no use. No wonder its one of the cheaper potties I have seen on the market. He might as well still go on the floor. Plus, if they have a hard time getting onto it, the door closes on their little back. Sure the little reward stickers are cute. But I am forced to go back to the store to purchase a new potty that actually keeps the pee pee in the bowl and ONLY in the bowl

I bought this potty chair because it seemed simple. however, every time my daughter uses it it leaks on the floor and under the bowl, so theres always alot of clean up. the flushing handle falls off all the time and is hard for my daughter to use. wished i'd spent a little more and got quality instead i got crap!

I think this potty would be okay for girls, but not for boys. When boys use it, the pee goes under the rim, between the removeable pot, and spills out on the floor. I have to take it apart and wash it every time. I tried the detachable seat on the big potty, but my toddler feels insecure because it slides around. Now I'm going to have to buy another potty because he insists on using the "little potty." I'll probably buy a one piece from baby bjorn.

I got this for my 20 month old son. When he tries to use it he ends up peeing on the floor. What they call a pee shield doesn't shield! I thought it would be great seeings he like to flush the toilet. Works great for girls though.

I have 2 little boys, one is 19 months and started potty training about a month ago. I started with this potty, the guard is nothing spectacular, I couldn't tell you how many times he has sprayed me. And then it leaked between the bowl and the hole. I had to hold it down for him too. After the first day I went to get another potty seat that is much better. The guard is high and the seat is cushioned. I mean the potty was cute, but just not practical enough for me.

Having begun potty training my 2 yr old son (our 2nd child) this has got to be the worst potty chair - especially for a boy. Even with the "front splash guard" built into the removable cup it is not good enough to prevent a boy from urinating over the front of the toilet. Personally the lid on the toilet is more of a pain than useful as a step stool when closed. My son rarely uses it for a stool and the lid is annoying. He has fallen over backwards onto the lid while sitting on the potty - and he was not happy about it. The sound box is not worth it either. With the toilet on the floor (and sound box underneath) you can hardly make out the music or your recorded voice. My son has had no interest in the bells and whistles. He is just proud of himself overall and wants to show us that he is a big boy! We are throwing it in the garbage and purchasing the Baby Bjorn toilet with the raised backside. It has much better reviews. I also wanted to add one more thing that we just did for our son. We purchased new boys briefs for him and had them delivered (he got to open the box as a gift to him). He was excited and ooohing and aahhing over the underwear and he knew what to do with them right away. It is more of an incentive for him - and he is eager to wear his new undies when he is ready!
