5.0 out of 5 stars Good design, so far, January 10, 2009

This review is from: Sesame Street 1-2-3 Learn With Me Potty Chair -Elmo All Star (Baby Product)

I purchased this item for our son, since he loves Elmo. I thought I fell into the commercial trap of buying fun over function, but so far so good.

I had some concerns, given the reviews on this item, but it appears that many have been rectified by the manufacturer. The three main items I had concerns with (from the reviews) were 1. ability to easily take off the top to empty the waste tray. 2. the noise of Elmo and the confusion to the child on the potty. 3. the pee deflector. Here are my thoughts. On the first point, the top comes right off, so there's no issue with using one hand to disassemble and clean. Just make sure that you lift gently without putting a lot of pressure on pulling up. Since there are 6 arms that insert into the base, any forceful pressure is going to make stick. Number two with the noise - there's an on/off switch inside, so you can choose if you want to have it on or not without taking out the batteries. On the third point, the pee deflector is tight. As an adult, I have to use two hands to put it in and extra force with one hand to pull it out. There's no way my son can pull this out when sitting on it.

I'm a stickler for design and I always scrutinize the quality of anything I buy. I think this item has a nice design, which I don't often find myself saying with manufactured items for children. The form/function of being able to use the top on the toilet fits tightly and appears sturdy. With the top off, the remainder doubles for a step stood, which is nice. The one thing that you may want to replace on this is anti-sliding skids. They are a hardened plastic and slow movement, but do not stop it. If you buy some rubber strips from the local hardware store (the kind that peel and stick) and place these on the bottom, that issue is resolved.

The issue of the hand being right in the way of the child's leg is definitely true. Our son tends to move his legs off to the sides for support anyway, so it doesn't appear to be an issue. Worse case, you just turn the sound off.

Our son loved the potty from the moment he saw it and pranced around the house with it in his arms for days.

My son LOVES elmo and this potty works perfectly. The splash guard is removable. I keep it off. It does make me have to clean up more often but it keeps my son from getting hurt when sitting down. Also, Elmo's voice is exactly the same as it is on the show. Perfect for us.

This review is from: Sesame Street 1-2-3 Learn With Me Potty Chair -Elmo All Star (Baby Product)

We did a lot of research before deciding on a potty chair. There is a lot of competition and one thing I was especially concerned about was the pee guard injuring my little boy. I had read many reviews on different potty chairs about their boys hurting themselves when they stand up and even being cut by the rough edges of the pee guard. This potty chair is 5 stars in this department. The guard is soft flexible plastic and I actually like the fact that it's easily removable. My guy doesn't have any interest in pulling it off, though if he was I'm sure I'd not be crazy about it either.

My son is very tall for his age and many of the potty chairs we've tried were just too short for him. This one is still a bit short, but better than any other we've tried. He seems to really like sitting on it and he gets down to business right away, something he never did with other potty chairs and I assume it's because they were just uncomfortable.

I also love that this one duos as a step stool for use in front of the sink when brushing teeth, washing hands, etc. It also works great when you use the removable seat on the big potty to help your little one get up onto the seat.

Overall, it's very versatile and I like most of the features. Though I do have to agree that Elmo is very annoying! As other reviewers have stated, the "high five" isn't much of a reward when it's constantly getting bumped before your little one is even done on the potty. I, too, took the batteries out of ours to avoid the headache. My son doesn't even really care for the voices and that's not why we bought it anyway.

My one major gripe (now that Elmo is silenced!) is that it can be cumbersome to take the seat off the base for emptying the pot. I didn't see any other reviewers mention this so I thought I'd better. It's secured by 4 tabs that you occasionally have to push in from underneath to release. Imagine how fun that is with a pot full of poop and pee! If it weren't for the fact that this potty chair is also a step stool and works with the big potty as well and that it is the perfect size for our little guy, I would not have kept it. But compared to all the other chairs we tried, this one fit our needs the best.
