> 24 hourI really hate that I didn’t buy this months ago. This is perfect for a quick walk or nice nature hikes and my daughter, who absolutely hates the potty training experience for some reason has no issues using this. This fits really nicely in your typical backpack or stroller. You can use plastic take-out bags just fine but the Kalencom liners are thin, yet secure so I bought a giant box of those liners, no regrets. Plus, you can secure 3 liners on the potty beforehand to save some time when your little one has to go. Okay so maybe my one issue is having to adjust the potty from flat, to usable, to flat again, which can require some jiggling but it’s not that bad.

> 24 hourThis potty/potty seat seemed like a terrific idea for travel and walks, but the folding legs dont snap into place firmly. One of my daughters was particularly excited to use it ... until the legs folded when she was on it, and she fell on her face. Now shes afraid of it and would rather wet herself on a walk than use it, which really defeats the purpose. The problem is that the legs move between their three positions -- fully folded, down for use as a potty, and straight out to the sides for use as a potty seat -- very easily. Yes, they snap in place, but they also snap out of place with just a little pressure. With a design like this, there should be some locking mechanism, or it should at least take a lot more pressure to move the legs from position to position. FYI, the potty comes with a few bags to get you started and also includes a plastic draw-string back you can use to carry it around. July 2016: Coming back years later to revise this review. Yeah, its easy not to lock the legs in place properly and end up with a spilled kid, but once you get the hang of how to lock the legs, these potties are pretty darned handy. To tell you the truth, we still carry one of these around in the car for kiddie emergency pee breaks, three or four years on. Any cheap plastic item we still find useful after four years deserves more than two stars! A very handy item. Just practice locking the legs before you start using it.

> 24 hourI dont tend to write many reviews but this potty seat is amazing. Ive succesfully potty trained my 16month old!! Never even thought that was possible, I bought this when he was 12months old, using it maybe 1-2 times a week and then within a months time he was pooping in the toilet in 2 months time he wa telling me when he had to go, and we would rush to the potty and hed go both pee and poop. Its great because I can bring it with me when I go somewhere and I can slip it on and off our toilet. I was never a fan of the childrens pottys that you have to dump their pee and poop into the toilet. Gross. This is the best way to go. Its secure and has easy grips on the side which Ive taught him to hold onto. I havent tried the bags that go with it yet but Ill be buying those now since he is becoming more and more vocal before soiling his diaper. I highly recommend this. Although every baby is different, this has worked for us!

> 24 hourLoved this! At first I was very skeptical because I thought there was no way my daughter could sit on it in the potty chair mode without having to hover or her touching the bag, but she was easily able to it on it like a regular potty chair with no hovering and no touching the bottom of the bag. It’s a great travel seat! We bought this to keep in our van specifically for the times she has to go and there’s no where to go. We’ve had it for one week and it has came in handy three times! At the park with no actual bathroom? Use the Potette! At a out door event and don’t want your child to use a nasty port-a-potty? Use the potette! It’s small enough to fit between our front seat and captains chair in our Toyota Sienna, so it is very discreet. Seriously wish we had purchased sooner!

> 24 hourThis is convenient, super easy to clean, small profile-easy to keep in car but because of that small profile, it’s SUPER low to the ground. My toddlers knees were literally up in her chest and she wasn’t able to get a comfy position to go potty, longer legs -like extendable would be better. It also seems very uncomfortable for their butts but it’ll just be used for on the go until she’s comfortable with a big, public potty.

> 24 hourThe little one that I care for is quite petite so this is an especially good purchase for me for that reason. That means she will be able to use this for a lot longer than other children might. If your child has long legs then you can take the empty box from a case of soda and turn it upside-down under this seat on the floor. Ive thanked God for this potty seat! Its light weight so its easy to carry to the mall and everywhere in a small to medium sized tote bag. Not having to put this tiny girl on a big public (filthy) toilet is PRICELESS! I do struggle a bit trying to lock and unlock the legs into the right position but still…its worth the struggle. You have to push and pull pretty hard to get them into the right place and my arms and wrists arent that strong. I use regular food store bags in it along with three folded paper towels. I put it on the floor in the family rest rooms. Its all washable. This is a clever design and Im very glad to have this option for her. Even though shes almost four shes still using it. A good purchase! :-)

> 24 hourWe like this potty for travel because it is compact and fits any toilet. We also have the Oxo travel potty, which is our top pick. We use the potters plus silicon liner, which fits both travel potties perfectly. The reason this is a runner up is because it is slightly lower to the ground and the locking mechanisms are a little more difficult to use. If you are going to use it as a travel potty, it is a little time consuming to try to pop the legs in and out and push into place. The oxo is a slight bit smoother. If you are using it mostly on the potty at home and don’t have to fold it often, then it is great.

> 24 hourThis has been absolutely amazing for my daughter. We purchased this when she turned two and have used it for a year now. I have came back on to write a review and purchased Additional liners as we are getting ready to go on a long road trip. The liners are amazing because they fit right over the little seat making it easy to pull over and let her potty even when in the middle of nowhere. The seat itself fits her perfectly. She is a normal size 3-year-old and it worked just fine for her at two. No seat pinching or wobbling on a larger toilet. The bag that it comes and makes it perfect for in the diaper bag or just to grab and go and have concealed. It is perfect for helping your little ones learn to go someplace other than home especially on those scary gas station toilets. I would buy again if needed but again after one year ours is held up just fine along with the bag and has had a ton of use. Thank you for such a wonderful seat for my daughter

> 24 hourGreat for travel! My toddler was able to sit on this on the side of the road to potty so we had no accidents in the car! (Child was away from the road, covered, and both parents were right beside the child). It was super convenient, easy to pack, and I loved the reassurance it gave my toddler. Very sturdy and easy to store!
