Kalencom Potette Plus 2-in-1 Travel Potty Trainer Seat Red

This is a product that I really WANT to love. Its a great concept, and it has, in fact, proven useful for us. We keep it set up in the back of the SUV for the toddler that always needs to go potty five minutes into any car ride. Its very handy to be able to just pull over and let her climb in the back to pee. However, I do have some issues with the product: 1) Size: The Potette is quite small, and even with my smallish 2-eyar old, I have to position her very carefully and still have some occasional misses. I know the size needs to be small to be carried around. 2) Sturdiness: You have to make sure the legs are snapped in just right before a child can sit on it, or one or both legs will collapse while your child pees. Snapping them in can be difficult at times, especially when youre urgently trying to set it up to prevent an accident! Leaving it set up works fine for us, but on the occasion that we need to stow it away, getting the legs unsnapped and folded has been a pain. Ive had to pull them completely off and then re-snap them into the first hole. This makes it hard to be truly versatile and 2-in-1, at least while your kid is still in the urgent stage where they need the potty quickly. 3) Bags: Again, attaching the bags in a hurry is a bit annoying, but if you dont attach them just right they have a tendency to slip off while the child pees. The pad in the bottom isnt super large, so there still may be a bit of splash. You can use grocery store bags and a paper towel instead of buying expensive refills. Overall, the product is convenient if you leave it set up and use just as a potty, but otherwise the set up can take a little long for a small toddler to wait when they need to go quickly. If youre going to leave it set up anyway, a small one-piece potty is probably a sturdier option. This fits well in a small stroller basket or tote bag for shopping, if you do want to carry it around. I have not used it as a trainer seat, but it seems that it fits well on the toilet and gives the child a clean place to hold. You just then have to deal with folding and unfolding the legs.

I was looking for a portable potty that I could easily take with my when potty training my 2.5 year old daughter. A friend of mine had this potty (although the older version that doesnt sit on the toilet seat) and I thought it looked really handy. I searched the reviews online and they were mostly good so I bought it. It works really well for when you dont have quick access to a restroom as it turns into its own small potty, but also this version (the potette plus) has the additional feature that it can turn into a potty seat to put on the adult toilet too (the legs fold out to sit on top of the seat). I liked this feature especially as I planned to carry this around in my diaper bag to use when were out and we needed to use a a public restroom. It is a little large to fit inside my diaper bag, but it slides perfectly into an open side pocket so I carry it around that way. It has its own plastic carry pouch too, so that is a nice feature. For using it as its own travel potty, it has plastic bags with an absorbant pack in the bottom. They really do work well to soak up the pee so you arent carrying around a bag full of pee to the garbage. I havent used it this way as much as I was trying to save the bags for when they were really needed as they are more expensive, but a regular plastic bag could be used in a pinch. All in all I like the product very much and it is very convienent. I would buy it again.

Ive had this item for a few weeks now for my 2yo daughter, and I just cant imagine trying to potty train without it. It is very sturdy and it fits into my very small backpack that I use as a diaper bag/purse and we use it ALL the time. I have a potty seat with me at ALL TIMES, people! When we go in the car for longer rides, I put it into the chair configuration on the back seat with the baggie in it and we are ready to pull over and go potty if we need to. Folding it out and back down into its bag when we are out and around takes all of 10 seconds. It fits really well on every size/model of toilet weve tried it on, which is nice for nervous beginner pottiers that it doesnt jiggle or move. I would say this potty chair is the single most useful child-related item I have bought so far. If you are wavering on it, please just go for it, you wont be sorry! (We have the PEENK one, it is very pink and cute if you have a child who is impressed by pink things that are pink. I have one of those girls.)

I know friends who swore by having this on hand during potty training and with newly potty trained children. However, ours hasnt gotten even one use. The product works great, is small and convenient to have on hand. We just havent found a time to use it and our child has been potty trained for almost one year. I hope I get some use out of it with our second child.

My daughter is on the petite side and she will not go potty on a public potty because she feels like she is going to fall in. However, she has no trouble going when we use the Potette Plus! We have taken it with us on every outing and on visits to the grandparents houses! We havent used it as a stand-alone but its been amazing helping her go on big potties away from home! Highly recommend it!! EDIT: We have been using this thing for nearly six months now and it has not once failed to fit a potty that weve put it on. And today was the first time I have had to use it as a stand-alone when the park restrooms were locked (UGH!!) and I had to rush to get it set up in the trunk of the SUV. It took me all of 20 seconds to set it up with some plastic grocery bags into a stand-alone potty and get my daughter on it. Thankful for the option that this can work with a toilet or without. Cant say enough good things about this!!

When I started potty training my son I was looking for disposable potty seat covers to keep in the diaper bag. Luckily, I stumbled upon this seat before I wasted my money on those. I cannot say enough good things about this seat and I recommend it to all of my friends potty training their kids. It folds up nicely and fits well in all of my diaper bags. Im not saying its tiny. In fact, I actually thought it was going to be smaller. I now appreciate its size, though, because the seat itself doesnt have to fold so there are no seams to pinch his bottom. Some reviewers have said its too small, but my 2 1/2 year old son is 33 pounds and fits just fine. Ive used the seat both ways and its great! We used it as its own seat on the beach and at the pool both with the bags it comes with and with a grocery bag. Both ways work great. I keep Clorox wipes in the bag that comes with it to wipe the seat down when hes done. Its quick and easy! Its also extremely sturdy. I have no doubt that it will last for my second son. We dont leave home without this seat. It makes my son much more comfortable going potty when were out and I dont have to hold him on!

I use this a lot more than I thought I would! My daughter was scared of the big loud potty in stores. This helped ease her into using public potties. She felt more secure and it only took a handful of times using it to make her comfortable. However, I continued to use it because I felt better having her put her hands down on this instead of the nasty public seat. I kept a travel pack of disinfectant wipes in the travel bag and wiped it down each time. Now it stays in the trunk for roadside emergencies. We have used it at parks with no restrooms and once or twice on the side of the road.

This is THE BEST purchase I have made in regards to potty training! My son was 20 months old when I purchased it and still loves it 2 months later, calling it his lady bug potty, because thats what he thought it was when he first saw it! I have not used the liners yet, but here are the ways I have used it and the features I liked: Works well in a public restroom. It does sit back towards the middle of the seat, so his ankles do touch the front of the seat unless I hold them up. It still is much more sanitary than just a paper liner or trying to hold him over the seat. It works well outside! I know I have a boy, but he does not yet have any concept of standing to void. I can set this outside towards the edge of the yard and it makes potty breaks during outside play a breeze! (We live in a very wooded area). Is great for when we are at grandparents--since this stores easily in his diaper bag, we dont have to try to always remember his potty seat from home. I thought the small pee guard would be a problem; however it has not been at all. I hold my sons knees together and he has never made a fountain over the top. Now he even holds his legs together on his own. My only annoyance is, when snapping the legs out of the sitting position, unless you do it very carefully, they snap out completely. It took a couple of tries to get it right...

My kid loves it. Easy to use. Very portable. Well worth the price. I took off one star because when you have to pull the legs out to fold them back up, many times I end up pulling the entire leg off the who contraption. I am not a super strong person but the hinge, as is the entire contraption, is basically just a medium-density plastic and since you only have to pull it out about 1/4, it is super easy to pull it a tad too far. Then you have to snap it back in. This is perhaps all irrelevant once you get the hang of it and be a little more careful and steady as you disengage the legs a little, but when you have a 2yo running off, the last thing you have time to do is to concentrate on carefully snapping the legs back out. I would reconsider the design around this small issue. It doesnt cost much to make these things.

I cant evaluate whether this potty is durable or functional because neither of my kids would use it. I ordered this in anticipation of potty training my oldest toddler last year. She would never even sit on it. She screamed every time I tried to get her on it. I thought maybe she would use it once she was fully potty trained, but over a year later she has refused every single time Ive offered it. Shed rather hold her pee until we get to the next stop on a road trip than use this potty. Now a little under a year after training my oldest, I started training my youngest. Guess what? SAME STORY. She wouldnt even sit on it when I introduced it at home. And today in the car she said she needed to potty, so I pulled into a parking lot and set up this potty in the van, and she refused to use it. Shes been potty training for 5 days, and she decided to hold her pee until we finished the drive home instead of using this potty. (She is a bit of a potty prodigy, honestly, unlike my oldest.) Shes not even impressed by the idea of peeing on the turtles printed on the pad in the liner. Im giving this 2 stars because it doesnt seem fair to give it only one when I havent been able to put it to use. But I cant give it more than 2 stars because its been a useless waste of money for me. Its also a little tricky to pop the legs in and out, so its hard to get it set up super fast. My advice to anyone buying this is to WAIT before ordering more liners. Just wait. If your kid refuses to use this potty, at least you wont have wasted more money on extra liners like I did.
