I decided to give this a quick update after writing my original post because I kept wondering how on earth this potty seat would chip a toilet as per the Top Post. The Top post on here gave this a 2 star review based on the fact that they were using it wrong. They say "It simply does not fit elongated toilet seats (I tried it on three different toilets with elongated seats)so it is always somewhat unstable, and this leads to chipping and damaging the toilet seat". This is NOT meant to be sat on the toilet seat, you lift up the toilet lid & seat and place it directly on the toilet(look at the picture) So I am also sure that is why they claim it was so unstable. Also, I have realized the reason the steps don't lock down is so it can easily adjust to different sizes/heights of toilets. I even tried to use this seat on our toilet side ways and it still works just fine so I think unless you have a really tall or weird toilet that this would work just fine...if you use it the correct way that is. I would just hate for people to pass up buying this based on the negative review(like I almost did) when they are giving a negative review based on using it wrong because I really believe this potty seat is the key to potty training my daughters in an easy and stress free manner.
Original Post
My twin daughters just turned 2 on Oct 27. We have potty chairs and although they used to enjoy sitting on them I can normally not get them to sit on them for more than 10 seconds at a time. And although they have previously sat on the big potty with me holding them so they dont fall in, both my daughters had become Terrified to sit on the big potty. I was trying to decide on this with built in step stool or the Baby Bjorn toilet seat and after much debating I decided to go with the step stool so my girls could feel more independant.
The first time using this both my girls were still showing their normal fear of the toilet so I had to pick them up and sit them(one at a time of course) up on the potty seat. They were still afraid until I showed them to hold onto the handles, the handles made a HUGE difference in calming their fear. And they were able to sit back on the cushy seat, and realize they were secure and not going to fall in the toilet even when they didn't hold on. I literally had to make them get off the potty so the other could get a turn. I helped them step down onto the step and get down while I was holding the step down. After that 1st time both my girls wanted to climb up the step themselves and I still had to help them get turned around and sitting on the potty and when they were done I had to help them get down. But that was only for the 1st couple of days and now both my girls can climb the step by themselves and get turned around and sitting on the seat and back down again all on their own. My smaller twin is TINY so I thought that might be a problem for her but she has no problems at all. She is below the 5th% for both height & weight, she is 32" tall & 22lbs. My other daughter is a little over 34" & a little over 25lbs.
PRO'S
*My girls LOVE it
*The seat is soft & comfy
*The entire thing is easy to clean
*The handles help them feel secure and in control
*The seat opening is small & helps them feel secure(even my tiny daughter won't slip through)
*The step helps them be independant & get on potty themselves
*It is lightweight & easy to travel with or take to a different room
*The seat folds flat so it is easy to store when not in use
*It is affordable
*You don't have to clean out a potty chair
*Easy to assemble-no tools required
*Step seems slip proof, my girls have gotten on this out of the bath, completely soaked and not slipped
CON'S
*The seat might not work for boys as well(I don't have a boy to know) the seat pictured isn't the one you get
*The steps don't lock down so while they are sitting they can easily push on the handles and the steps fly up, if they get carried away the seat will wobble around. Also, if they push their weight on the handles when they are going to step down the handles will go down and the steps will come up so they could fall. But I think they may have done that so it can fit different toilet heights/sizes.
Overall I would totally recommend this seat. Although the steps don't lock down I am always right there to ensure my girls do not get hurt and within a few days of use my girls have learned how to safely get up and down w/out any step problems. I have to keep our bathroom door shut now because my daughters would strip their diapers off and go sit on the potty by themselves but now with the door shut they come get me and drag me to go potty. They both go pee on the potty on a regular basis without me even having to ask them! This potty seat has made it so that my girls are basically potty training themselves with help from me...and just a little help, lol.
If you think how many things your kid already has to have help with if they can actually have something like this and be able to do it mainly on their own, that is a HUGE accomplishment for a kid and they want to continue doing it. Also, make sure to have some picture books, coloring books, sticker books or other fun things in there so that sitting on the potty is fun :) Don't put too much pressure on them either, my girls have done the best when I don't do much of anything and they can do it all themselves...ah, Mommys little girls are growing up..too fast(said as I wipe a tear)
I was having no luck with potty training before this product and with the independance and security this seat has given them, they are now Potty Queens!!

A GREAT seat/step combo for potty training our autistic 5 year old!
We have a 5 year old boy with autism who hasn't been potty trained yet. He's completely non-verbal and also has major sensory issues and has been PETRIFIED of sitting on a potty/toilet of any kind! We have purchased and ended up not using 3 different potty chairs/seats of multiple varieties over the last year and a half. Finally, with the conclusion of school, we've decided it's time to get serious about potty training over the summer before he starts kindergarten in the fall and I think he's ready! I got this seat a few days ago and he's already going on it on command which is a HUGE deal for us! It's a long leap to going on his own, but the fact that he can get up on this seat by himself and isn't afraid to sit on it is a big step in the right direction! The seat/step has two different adjustments for height. We have a very short (but full size) toilet and I still put it on the tallest setting. It works great! It's so easy to wipe clean if he dribbles on it and is made of comfortable material so he could sit for a while if needed. It is also SO easy to fold up and keep next to the toilet for adult use. It feels sturdy and well made and is really easy to snap together without having to use any tools. The only reason I took off one star is the notches on the underside of the seat to keep it in place could stand to be a little longer/more substantial. Sometimes it moves a little if my guy isn't so careful getting on, but I'm not worried about it falling off the toilet entirely which is good.All in all I'm really pleased with this potty seat/step and hope it will help us finally potty train our little guy! Cross your fingers for us! If you have any advice, I'm ALL EARS... Hope this helps! I did NOT receive this item for free or at a discount!
