"3-year-old loves it! Comfy and secure. Helps potty training for girls!" 2010-06-14
By A. E. Berigtold (Baltimore, MD)
This seat is great for girls! My daughter is about 42" tall and 42 lbs, and this seat fits her perfectly. We just bought this toddler toilet seat in pink and white at Target. It was the comfiest looking one there. My daughter absolutely loves it, and has been using it non-stop since we got it. She was already about 75% potty trained using a stand-alone toddler potty Safety 1St Comfy Cushy 3-in-1 Potty, but I was getting a bit tired of cleaning it out all the time, so I decided to buy this. The only downside is it did not fit on our standard size toilet seat (about 1/2" too big), so I had to go back to Target and buy a slightly larger adult toilet seat with brushed nickel hardware. (Yes, I could have just bought a smaller toddler seat, but they all looked cheap and uncomfortable.) I am proud to say I took off the old seat and installed the new adult seat all by myslef. The new seat looks the same but the opening is a tiny bit bigger so that the toddler seat fits inside it perfectly. I don't see how it could move around or slide off. My daughter uses a step stool to get up onto the adult toilet (she's tall for her age, so this goes smoothly- no adult help needed). She loves her new seat so much that she wipes it down with baby wipes and puts it away in the under-the-sink cupboard after each time she uses it- how great is that! No issues with any pee on the floor so far. We always clean it after each use, even if I don't see pee on it. I am not sure if it collects pee when boys use it, but for a girl, there have been no issues with it getting soaked in pee or hard to clean off. I am considering getting one for my parents house, too. The only downside is that I wish they had sized the plastic supports to fit all standard toilet seats (or made them adjustable). I had to take the Munchkin seat with me to Target and rip open toilet seats in the store to find one it did fit (sorry, Target!)-- the first one I opened it also did not fit. Just a tiny adjustment would have meant it would fit all standard seats, without compromising the security of the overall fit. Also, I wish the color of the seat was pink and/or had a pattern. Being pure white, you know it's going to get stained and show marks easily. We already have a blue pen mark on it, no idea how, and even bleach wouldn't remove it. Still, for toddler comfort and feeling secure and not worrying about "falling in," you can't beat this seat! :-)

  
"Beware" 2010-02-18
By Nosebleeder (California)
Beware of this seat. As funny as this might sound at first, it was pretty scary. My son put this over his head and around his neck. It was very scary because it was difficult to remove, not to mention painful. My mother was letting him play with it and that is what happened. This seat should be designed with a split somewhere so that this doesn't happen. I've told my son that it wasn't a hat, but I'm still afraid of having it around. Hopefully he isn't too traumatized by this and will potty train soon.
  
"Don't waste your time on this" 2010-01-26
By Katie Colvin (Texas)
We bought this potty seat for my daughter to start training because it seemed cushy and comfortable, and being first-time parents we had no clue what to look for in a potty seat. After she "successfully" used the seat the first time, when I lifted her up, there was urine all over the back of her legs and the seat. It happened every time she was "successful." Not sure why this happened, but we bought a different seat (much more firm) that it doesn't happen with, and I would have to say it is due to the seat's cushiness. I wouldn't waste your time or money on this seat.
  
"Find something else for boys" 2009-10-07
By Jungs (Seattle, WA)
As mentioned in other reviews this seat is not at all suitable for little boys to use. I had bought this (in green) for my daughter when she was around 3.5 years old (now 5) and it worked fine. Then my son came to potty training age and it's absolutely not well built for little boys. The hole is just barely big enough for when he has to go poo and/or pee - if he sits straight and center. There's been quite a few times when he didn't tuck himself all the way down and we ended up with a pool/waterfall of pee. And a very unhappy little boy. Although he made it to the potty in time he went away feeling a little like he failed I think. Now he insists on help every single time so there's no sense of him feeling truly confident in himself to go by himself. Along with that the cleaning up of the collected pee in the pieces that hold the seat in place is no fun, and the pee tracks from where it's stored standing on it's little "feet" next to the toilet. Just too many places for pee to collect. Not at all sanitary. My one and only guest bathroom, which is also the kids' bathroom, now reeks and I'm currently waiting for a replacement toilet seat that incorporates a kids potty seat along with the adult seat. Kohler has a great one, however they only have it in elongated size. So I'm now waiting for one (different brand) in standard that'll be just as good, or at least MUCH better than the potty seat he's now using. The whole family can't wait to toss this potty seat.

"Works Just Fine for Little Girls" 2009-06-06
By EJ Hamm
I agree, some of these reviews are a bit misleading. The seat is very cushy - more so than others we tried, and my daughter loves it. My son liked it too, but as noted in other reviews, with no splash guard it really does not work well for boys. It also can slide around a bit, but most of the seats do anyway as I have found. We purchased a second one for our daughter.
