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

I have a petite daughter who I potty trained at 22 months. She was too tiny to balance on the seat of the toilet, but with this, she was fine. Also, she puts on her hands on this to steady herself instead of on the toilet seat, which is especially nice in public restrooms. It folds down enough that someone with a big purse could carry it around - I dont, but when my mother-in-law took my daughter on vacation, she used it that way, and found it very useful. I rarely use it with a plastic bag, only when were, say, on a boat without a bathroom. However, you DONT need the special bags for that - any shopping bag without holes in it will be fine, and nursing pads or maxi pads to absorb do the trick.

Potty training was a terrifying prospect for me, especially being out and about. At the same time, I didnt want to be stuck at home for weeks/months until my toddler was potty trained. We live quite far from town and that was another fear of mine. So I bought this more for the travel potty use than the trainer seat use. However, on our first excursion out with it, we used it both ways, and it is so useful! Its small enough that it fits easily in my 14x14 wet/dry bag, with extra liners, change of bottoms, wipes, and a cloth diaper for wiping up messes. Its really easy to whip out in the very short amount of time my daughter has between I have to pee!! and actually going. Like at least one other reviewer has said, its important to know that if youre going to use it as a potty, you need to kind of lock the legs into place by pushing them up into the seat part. Then, to fold back up, you just need to carefully pull the legs out one notch. To go from folded up to trainer seat, theres no locking into place necessary. The liners that come with it are really amazing. The absorbent pad holds most if not all of the pee my toddler releases at a time (it claims to hold 5oz) so Im not just carrying around a bag of liquid. At the same time, $10.xx for 30 liners (when my daughter, who is still in the early stages of potty training, can pee 5 times in just a few hours) can get costly. So weve found that the small plastic garbage bags (4 gallon) are much more cost effective. (Our grocery store has a generic pack of 30 for $1.67.) If Im really concerned about the bag of pee, I can throw some paper towels or even a cloth diaper in it. I still plan to buy the Potette Plus liners from time to time as a luxury item, or maybe if were going on a trip where we might not be able to dispose of the bags in a timely manner. =) Ive read that plastic shopping bags like from the grocery store would work well, and I could see that. But I dont know about you, but most of our plastic bags have holes in them, plus now more and more cities are going bag-less anyway, so its nice to know the small garbage bags work, too. Ive never tried any other 2-in-1 type travel potties like this, but Im very, very happy with my purchase.

I have had this potette for a few moths now and have used it quite a few times. I keep it in my car since it folds up and comes with the plastic storage bag. The seat is very very hard and quite uncomfortable for my 3 year olds little bottom, She refused to use it the first two months because it hurt her bottom. I think after her growth spurt she acquired a little more cushion on her bottom, making it slightly more comfortable. It is very compact, which is good, but putting it in the sitting potty position and getting the bag around it before your child pees herself can be a challenge. There have been a few times that i was unable to get the leg part of it snapped in place in time and had to hold it steady myself. Folding it back up is challenging as well as I have pulled the leg things off completely. I thought I broke it but it snaps back in place if you apply force. I did take the advice of other reviewers and made my own potty bags. I use regular plastic grocery bags and instead of a diaper or maxi pad I use puppy training pads cut into large rectangles. Not once has there been an incident of pee going anywhere but the pad. This potette is better than most, I would of just made the seat softer and the legs easier to use, I did try this as a potty seat as well in a public restroom and it is easier to not use it. The seat is just too small for public toilets and my child did not feel very secure. Am I glad I bought it? Yes, only because I can keep it in my car and my child can go potty right there on the floor behind drivers seat in a 2 door Monte Carlo,and then I can fold it up and slip it under the seat completely out of sight.

We bought this to take away on vacation with a newly potty trained kid who refuses to sit on a full sized toilet. Previously, we had been carting around various full-sized models in the car or just hoping he didnt have to go while we were on a walk. This potty has changed everything. Our three year old likes it, which is really the biggest obstacle to overcome. It is really hand that it folds up and fits in a bag. We can toss it under the stroller or bring it anywhere we need. The bags are admittedly a little gross, but its not like cleaning out a regular potty is great either so I think thats a wash here. I also like that it can be both a travel potty and a toilet seat so if our little guy ever stops being the most stubborn kid in the world, we might actually be able to use this to transition him onto the toilet. The build quality is good, weve been putting a lot of miles on this little seat and it has been great. Just make sure the legs are locked in place before your kid sits down on it (we had one mishap and it taught us a very quick lesson in not skipping this step). I would buy this potty again and will certainly be recommending it to anyone I know looking for a travel potty.

Buying a second one because the first has come in handy. I keep it in the car for those occasions when my daughter needs to go to the bathroom & theres not one in sight. She wont be able to hold it long, so gotta do what we gotta do. Shes 7 now & we just had to use it again recently & it did a great job. Getting a second one for our second car & given that our second kiddo is hitting that age now too.

My son just turned three (also has been in 3T pants for six or so months and transitioning from 4T to 5T shirts) and this does take some adjusting to be sure he doesnt pee out the front of it. That being said, it has been a big help when using public restrooms. I still lay toilet paper down on the seat before I place the potty seat over top just because it makes me feel better. But I simply place my son on the seat and he aims as best he can by leaning forward, etc. He has yet to have a BM on it, so I do anticipate some maneuverability issues there. (We also havent had to use it as a free standing potty yet. It is a pretty low seat, so well see how that goes too. Ill update as we get further along.) As short of a period of time as weve had it, Im thrilled with the ease of acceptance of the seat and its really great to have the base/legs of the potty seat to act as handles. I also am so pleased that it fits into the diaper bag (inside its own bag, of course). It helps to keep in mind that pee is sterile, so I just rinse it in the sink and toss it into the bag until I can wash it at home. Id consider using it at home too, but am certain that wed forget it before leaving. EDIT: We finally used as it a free-standing seat today and it held up well to his 33 pounds. No collasping (thanks to the careful instructions in other reviews to ensure it snaps in before putting my son on it) and it went without incident. I just had him lean forwards a bit to ensure the stream went down instread of out.

Great for short-trips about town. I have a bit of a reluctant potty-trainer in the form of a stubborn 3-year-old boy. But this thing I love. Still small enough to fit in a diaper bag (which I still carry for toys, drinks, snacks, etc.) when we are out and about. I have a skinny little guy, so this is a life-saver in the public restrooms where he would (a) fall in and (b) ew...not on my babys butt please. 2 thumbs up here. I only didnt give it 5 stars because the little humps in the middle are a bit high. But certainly not enough to prevent from buying again.

Trying to potty train twin toddler girls, Ill take any help I can get. And this travel training seat has been JUST what Ive been looking for! Nothing is more frustrating than feeling tethered to your house because your just-starting-to-get-this-potty-thing down toddler is terrified of big people potties. Multiplied by two. This seat has been just the ticket. It is small - easily stored in a small diaper bag or even a large-ish purse. It fits easily on a large toilet seat without the risk of collapse - which Ive found to be a problem with some of the other collapsible portable seats. But maybe the BEST thing about this seat is that it gives you options - are you in a public restroom? We got ya covered. Are you out on a road with no restroom in sight? Same seat - still works! Do you have one child who wants to sit up on the big potty? Yup, I got that for ya. Do you have another child who is scared of the big potty and wants her little potty? Bam - here ya go! The seat can be used on a large toilet, provides safe and clean places for little ones to put their hands while using it. The seat can also be set up as a stand-alone potty chair - use it in the car, on the floor, anywhere! It comes with liners that can be used with it - or Ive even used it with just a regular plastic grocery bag and a pull up put in the bottom for absorption. This seat also comes in a variety of colors and is very, very affordable. I am so happy with this product, I could bust! And I bet you will be too!

This is so perfect. We go to the beaches all the time and there are no bathrooms and a child learning to potty cant hold it til we find a toilet somewhere. This works perfect. Small, easy, secure. I love that it also comforts to a toilet seat to put on an adult toilet seat in a public restroom. I use it most though for our beach trips. The liner you can buy for it works great but when I run out and havent ordered none regular grocery bags work just as well. ***edit. Oct. 5th, 2012 I had to order another one since we lost or had our stolen when we were getting some maintenance done on our car and it was in our car :( but soon as i realized it was missing I was online ordering another one because this is the best invention in the world especially for long trips, beach trips, or out anywhere that just doesnt have potties, especially for a little one that cant hold it like adult can, when my 2 year old says I have to potty she has to go and go NOW so its great to have in the car when there just isnt a store or gas station around for her to go potty at. I ordered 3 packs of refills with my original purchase and still have 2 full packs left LOVE LOVE THIS product and so does my daughter she has no problem going on it***

Works great! This portable potty is so easy to use. At first I was hesitant on buying it because I figured I could get away with a small toilet seat cover, but weve already used it twice while out at the park. When out at a restaurant or shopping, this fits on every toilet Ive used and my daughter just hops right on and does her business. Its also helpful to use while training so when you are out, your child is already familiar with this seat so theres no additional fear of going pee away from home. The bags make clean up so simple. I would definitely recommend.
