Summer Deluxe Piddle Pad, Black

> 3 dayOwned one of these for nearly a year before it was put to the test when our daughters diaper had leaked during a nap in the car. Her seat stayed dry and the Piddle Pad was easy to wash. After getting a chance to test this, we bought a second for our newborn. Everyone should have one of these in the car seats of all sizes, infant to booster seat. Car seat covers are annoying to take off and wash, so to avoid having to take them completely apart to wash accidents, place these in the car seat! The backing keeps them from shifting too much, so readjusting them is minimal. I highly recommend these!!!

Greater than one weekThe unfortunate part of this for us, is that since weve had them, weve had no accidents... with 3 kids all under 3, it was all of the MANY accidents we had previously that lead us to buy them. The good news is that these things are in their car seats, they are ready for action, and I dont have to worry about taking a long drive, or a short one, and forgetting the pre-potty break. If there is an emergency while in the car, it isnt so stressful anymore. Although weve had them for about 6 months, or more, and I do like them, we havent experienced their absorbency yet. So, I cant really state whether that part is worth the purchase or not. I do like how plush they are, how thick and absorbent the seem to be, how large they are and cover the whole bottom and pretty high up on the back of the car seat. Overall it is the piece of mind that makes me happy about the purchase!

> 3 dayThis a great item for potty training to keep from having to take out a car seat and completely clean it after every accident. I highly recommend this product. We used it when our child was an infant and continue to use it for potty training.

> 3 dayWorks well enough to catch most of the leaks from potty training accidents. We did have leaks around the open part where the buckle comes through, as that hole is pretty big. And like others have said, it does slide around quite a bit when my kid goes to climb in her seat. But I get that there are likely limitations due to safety. Overall, for the price, its helpful enough and makes it easier to clean up accidents.

> 3 dayi had read up on all the reviews for this product, i had read about mixed reviews saying it worked for some but not for others, so since we are in the stage of potty training our son i wonted something that would help in case of a accident. i did like how it was real soft and my son didnt mind it being in the car seat at all. it did a great job and catching all the crumbs when he eats in the car but after we went swimming we put my son back in a pull up and on the way home he never said anything about needing to use the potty but when we got him out i noticed he was a little damp (i thought my husband didnt dry him off good before we put him in car seat) but when i pulled the piddle pad out of the seat i noticed that the straps were wet so i knew i had to take the seat out so i could clean them and thats when i noticed that the piddle pad didnt catch any of the pee as it had leaked down where the straps go and there was pee on the actual seat in the car and everything. great at catching crumbs(is why i gave it 2 stares instead of one), bad at holding pee accidents...

> 3 dayMy son has been potty training for less than a week and this piddle pad has already come in handy on the fifth day! He had a pee accident and I didnt realize it until I took him out of the car. Normally he would be crying if he wet his underwear, but the pad did a good job absorbing it. Im happy it absorbed his pee or else he wouldve cried the whole ride and I wouldve had to pull over and change him. It saved me a detour and did not leak onto his car seat! My only complaint is the pad does not stay in place and I have to adjust it every time my son gets on it.

> 3 dayOkay so this is a puddle pad. For little oops I didnt quite make it to a potty quick enough. It does not work for oops mom forgot we were potty training and didnt take little miss to the potty before we left. It sure as heck helped me not having to steam clean my seat!

Greater than one weekGot this for our mostly potty trained 2 year old. It tends to scoot back under him when he scoots back in his seat which is kind of a pain. We havent had a lot of leak expierence but of 2 accidents weve had one still got the car seat wet, not soaked, but significantly wet. That may also have been due to the scooting back issue as well. Also it is air dry which is kind of a bummer but they dont take too terribly long and it is certainly preferable to undoing the car seat cover and straps to wash and dry it. Overall its good but dont expect it to stop any heavy leaks and if you have an accident prone toddler I would probably get 2 to rotate because of dry time :)

> 3 dayI have two little ones. My youngest is still in [cloth] diapers and occasionally there is some leakage on road trips or long days when it is hot or warm out and weve had a lot to drink. This item superbly protected the car sear. If youve ever had to remove a car seat cover from the actual seat for washing every single time there was a food/beverage stain or potty accident (that absolutely stinks to high heaven once dry) then you know what a pain that is. Spend the coins and save yourself that fight, this slips on over the latch and comes right out for washing, meanwhile protecting the seat cover from nasty stains (should you want to sell or donate it later). I definitely recommend it

> 3 dayI bought this because our daughter was potty training and she was having some accidents here and there. The worst was when she had them in her car seat. For a while we were washing her car seat every day. This has saved us and our car seat. Every time you have to reposition it so that it cover the childs entire bottom and make sure that there is enough space in front too. This is kind of a hassle but in the long run it is so worth it. Since buying this we only had to wash our car seat once because we didnt make sure there was enough room in front by the buckle, the pee seeped out.
