great stool

by cataco 2008-09-16

great stool. my two daughters love to use it and it's super sturdy -- i don't need to help them up or down. three pieces fit together so it's a quick set-up. it is a bit large, and we have a small bathroom, but well worth it. if you can spend the money, i'd highly recommend it.

Exceptional Tool

by L. F. SMITH 2008-08-05

My son has a form of dwarfism and is only 31 inches tall. This stool has been wonderful for him. He can independently go to the bathroom without asking for help, and it is very sturdy and safe. I would recommend this product to anyone who is beginning to potty train to those with children with disabilities.

Go for this first-before all others

I have a child with mild autism who has a fear of the potty. I tried the Bjorn potty chair, cushy seat, 3-1 potties....you name it- I tried it. I hesitated on this because of the price. How much more did I want to invest in failed potty instruments? :) Thankfully, I got it right this time. This stool has been my savior.
The stool:
It's very heavy, well molded/made plastic. Very sturdy when complete. Puts together without tools right out of the box by simply sliding each side down onto the base. Both sides can be removed by simply lifting & pulling. However, it can be carried through a standard door by pushing the sides together as you lift/walk with it. It will protrude 42" if pushed against a modern/standard sized oval shaped toilet (this measurement if from the back of my toilet to the end of the stool in front) & it is 20" wide at it's widest point. There is a non skid section on the bottom, so it does not move at all on tile.
The results:
My 3.5 year old has been using it without fear for 2 weeks now. I am using the Bjorn seat with it that sits right on the toilet seat (I highly recommend this also) He has some motor control problems, so he is making slow progress. However, this is the first seat he does not fear. He actually did #2 in it last night because he is very comfy when on it. I nearly cried from happiness! The stool allows a child to get up there alone/dress/undress without fear of falling in or off due to the wide base. My 2 year old gets himself on/off of the seat independently & I believe he will train quickly.
Bottom line:
Do NOT by any other stools/seats other then the Bjorn seat & this stool. I could have actually saved money by buying this set up initially. The most wonderful part of this is that there is virtually zero clean up & it will grow with your child. I won't worry about my child using the potty independently at night with this stool. Highly recommended.

Worth every penny!

by DandL's Mom 2008-06-02

We recently purchased this for our 3 year old son. He is smaller than average, and although he was doing well with the little potty, it was going to be awhile before he could use the adult toilet. I did a bit of research on other options, many of which seemed to have safety issues. This was by far the most expensive, but worth it. He used it immediately, without hesitation or instruction (and he had been nervous about the adult toilet before). It is so sturdy, I feel very confident that it can be used without supervision. And I know it will last until our younger child is ready to use it. We also bought the baby bjorn toilet seat (since this does not have an accompanying seat), and it works great. The only downside is it is large, so if you have a small bathroom, this may not be for you.

Don't hesitate - buy it!

Amazing, just...well, I'm nearly speechless because I'm so awestruck by this potty stool. Of all things, really, a potty stool!

I did hesitate at first because of the price. But when our potty stool arrived and we got it set up, the very first time my child CONFIDENTLY climbed up to the potty himself, I knew the price was worth it.

This stool is so sturdy. It's easy to clean, so mom loves it and, most importantly, the kids love it because it allows them to be more independent.

And when we're done with it someday, because the quality really is remarkable, I think it will have good consignment resale value.

If you're on the fence, don't hesitate. You'll love it too!
