Best Potty EVER!

Customer Rating:
I tried other seats and this is THE BEST. Soft cushy seat. Large enough for all the parts to fit. Good for boy or girl. Easy to clean. Don't mess around with other ones. I have two. I am looking to see if the sell replacement cushions for the seats. One is wearing out after 3 kids trained on it. Hoping to find that.

This one fit the boy!

Our 2.5 year son is currently undergoing Bathroom Boot Camp and we'd bought one of these several months ago in anticipation of this milestone event. We're happy to say that he is progressing just fine!

But because we needed a spare one (to keep at my sister's who watches him 2 days a week) we purchased another brand at our local Toys r Us. However, when he sat down to do his business, it was immediately apparent that the other brand was way too small (BTW our son is average in height). He did not feel comfortable at all and I was worried he was going to start squirting all over the place, so we quickly moved him onto the 'big people" toilet. I returned it and ordered this GRACO model from Amazon.

We've never used the step-stool feature (besides, he already has one which he uses as a book prop while he's sitting on this) so I can't comment on that.

Not Built Well

Customer Rating:
This is the potty we used to get our lil guy potty trained. What I do not like is that there are two top pieces - the top (white cushion seat)and under that blue part (with the handles). They do not stick together and when my son sits, it would slide out of place - leading to "it's broken mommy" and not wanting to go. I ended up buying Velcro to attach the two parts, but it doesn't last long. The pee gets in there - it get's disgusting and needs to be taken apart and scrubbed several times a day - - too much work, if you ask me! Try for an all-in-one potty or one that has a solid top.

Great seat, one probably fixable flaw

We used this seat with my son, and we still have it, plan to use it with our girls. As I recall it seemed to have one of the best pee shields for a boy, as far as shape and softness - but it tended to fall off easily, which was annoying. I'm not even sure we still have it. We just taught my son to aim down and it worked out just fine. The pee shield is not a big deal, as it turns out.

What we liked about this seat was it was big and comfy. My son was 32 1/2 pounds at age 2 - he was a bigger guy. A smaller child might have problems but I am not sure. Some of the "small" potties just seem SO small to me... I liked that the insert could be removed to use with an adult toilet, or it could be used in the little potty. Some people skip the little potty altogether - we tried this, initially, and it was a DISASTER. My son just felt safer and more secure on the little potty.

Later, we learned some nice reasons to have a little potty. If your child has a stomach bug - he or she might really like being able to sit on the little potty. It is just more comfortable. And if your child swallows something it's a good place to have them go while you wait for the item to pass. Very glad we got this potty.

We had really only one issue with it - the white padded part of the seat would get pee under it, between it and the blue plastic part, and it would SMELL. I pulled the white part off at some point and now it doesn't stay on well. They should either seal the whole thing or make it easy to remove and secure to replace for cleaning. What I plan to do is glue some heavy duty velcro to hold it together - then I can clean it and put it back together. Should work well.

All around I think it's a good potty for a good price. BUT for a second potty (we have two girls) I ordered the Primo 4 in 1 - just hoping for a seat that didn't have this cleaning issue. It's nice! But it's NOT cushy... I don't think it's THAT much better, assuming my velcro trick works. The Primo doesn't have any rubber feet to keep it in place like the Graco did - mine are missing but I assume I can get more if I call Graco.

This one or the Primo, you'll probably be happy. :-)

If you have a boy, this may not be the right seat...

I'm going to have to buy a new potty seat for my little boy. The "pee shield" is removable and that's exactly what my little boy does -- he removes it. He's very young, so we're not officially potty training yet, but he likes to sit on it and use the bathroom before his bath. Each time, he takes the shield off. I'll be looking for a seat that has the shield molded into it, not a removable one.
