Review 1 for Summer Infant - 3-Stage Potty Trainer

Not for boys!!

I never write reviews, and usually take other people's complaints with a grain of salt. That being said, I just had to put my thoughts out there on this potty, as it truly made potty training way more difficult than it already was!
I agree with the sentiments of all the other poor reviews. I was enticed by all the bells and whistles......however, the wipes holder is way too small for any wipes I've ever bought, and if you're shoving this potty in between your toilet and bathroom cabinet like I was, you won't have room to use the toilet paper holder. But the worst part about this potty is that urine gets EVERYWHERE. I only have boys, so I can't speak for whether this wouldn't be an issue for training girls.....but my son's urine gets underneath the cushion, and into the crack between the top and bottom part of the potty. It's not too easy to detach the top part from the base, so whenever I've tried to take them apart to clean out the urine from inside, I end up fighting a battle that ends in urine all over my floor! Also. because the urine guard is detachable (since girls probably don't need it), my son would often end up knocking it down into the bowl with his behind, as he tried to sit down on the potty. Not a huge deal....unless there was any urine still in there from a prior sitting, or if you're trying to let your child run off to the bathroom himself, without your constant assistance in the bathroom.

I am very happy with this cute potty. It captured my grandsons interest from the first time he saw it. He has put it through the 2 year olds destruction test and it held up very well. One thing I would suggest is save your rolls of TP when they get down to the end and use them instead of full rolls or you will be buying a lot of TP.

What a hassle to clean, not a good buy!

This potty chair has terrible design flaws. Urine gets everywhere, you have to fully rinse out the entire unit everyday unless you want your bathroom to smell like urine. The wipe holder doesn't fit any flushable wipes containers or pouches except for one kiddo brand that is pretty expensive. Although it seems like it has so many great features, I would give it a zero if possible.

As soon as I got this home, my little one jumped on it the first day to use it! I like it because it's not too colorful and resembles the regular toilet, which my 2 year old uses to poo, but we are needing to get the peeing down. Will be using this for my little boy to be when he's old enough!

Poor design means lots of cleaning

This portable potty has a number of design issues, so you'll get to spend quite a lot of time cleaning up afterwards. Maybe these are not serious enough issues for some to replace them outright, but you'll have to find time to service them frequently.
1. Green urine guard/deflector - slides free a little too easily and drops into the removable bucket and whatever is in there. Our attempts to glue them permanently into place have not lasted.
2. The padded seats somehow absorb urine or water and the foam padding begins to rot and begin to release a noxious ammonia-like smell within several weeks of use. Washing them is a long and time-consuming process. We put them in a tub or sink and try to soak, rinse and dry.
3. As others have noted, urine or the leakage from the seat ends up in the bottom of the unit, which must be removed to be washed.

Review 7 for Summer Infant - 3-Stage Potty Trainer

It is probably good for a girls use.

I purchased this for use by my boys. For the most part its not bad and would work well for those with little girls. It only took about a week for the splash guard to fall off. I tried glue, epoxy and anything else I could think of to get it to stay on without luck. I ended up having to go buy a different chair. I keep this one as a back up for when we take road trips to visit my or my wifes families.

Just what I expected!!!

A few things made me go with this potty, one being that my daughter's infant tub was the same brand and colors, & I like things to be uniformed. Also I was interested in the fact that it has a wipes dispenser to the top and even as an adult I still use wipes (it's just more cleaner) so raising a girl, that's a plus! Last but not least, I love the fact that it's unisex, it has a removable deflector shield for boys, and it's a 3 in 1 potty trainer & step stool. So if a boy comes next I won't have to get another potty! ; )

This potty is awesome! My little girl didn't like the other potties because it hurt her butt. But this one has a nice soft seat. She is willing and happy to sit on it to go potty. No fighting! In two days she has done better with the potty than all the fighting we did with the other one for weeks! Love it!

The best starter potty on the market!

I purchased this Potty for my soon to be two year old and he really enjoys it. The toilet paper holder is a lot of fun. I haven't quite found a wipes container to fit the wipes holder but it is a great concept. At the front of the potty, there is a little cap to cover the private area and block any unwanted spillage. The ability to turn the bottom half into a stool is awesome as well. I'd recommend this potty to anyone looking for a simple yet cool trainer.

Review 13 for Summer Infant - 3-Stage Potty Trainer

Good Chair; Not for boys

I chose this potty chair because it stated that the cup part for the boys was suppose to be one of the highest available with potty. This unfortunately wasn't true. My son still urinated over it. Also the urine wouldn't all stay in the bowl provided, it would get into the base of the potty which was difficult to clean. I feel this would be a great potty chair for a girl. It is supper cute and believe it would work great, but not for a boy.

This is a perfect little potty to train with. The sheild is high enough. My boy loves the toilet paper holder. We save rolls that are almost empty for him and he love pulling wipes out of the top. It has helped with this toilet training process.

Not only is this toilet very reasonably priced, but I love that there is a place to put the toilet paper and wipes so my daughter can easily reach them and learn how to wipe herself. The seat is comfortable for her and it is easy to clean. I am very happy with my purchase!

Finally Potty Trained in 1 week!!!

Purchased this online (several $ cheaper than a local retailer). My 3 yr old was so excited to get his "big boy potty". After trying for a few months to potty train him, it took just 1 week for him to get used to going in it. It's easy to keep clean and can fit nicely in a corner of the bathroom.
We can even put it in the van for long trips (using disposable plastic bag) which takes the anxiety out of travel.
Wish I'd seen this a few months ago - I could've saved lots of $ on diapers!!

Great potty. Perfect design. I have had it for over a month now, but my son is not quite ready for potty training, he is 20months old, but when he is, this potty is perfect for him. The protective cup is high enough to protect little boys.

Great Potty Seat!!!

I loved this seat from the moment I saw it online! We needed a portable potty seat to use in the nursery for nap/bed time for my 2 and 3 year old(both boys), as well as occasionally for travel(like to the park). They are already potty trained and are used to the "big" toilet. This one looks just like a real toilet - the flusher so of course they were really excited to have their own toilet! We use a small trash can liner and a folded up, well absorbing paper towel in the removable bowl(works just like those expensive liners you can buy for other seats!!) to minimize yucky clean up and to assist in portability. The ONLY reason I gave it 4 stars is because the wipe holder is very small. I can only fit about 4or5 wipes in it at a time, but this is not even that big of a problem because it keeps them from getting all crazy and using 10 wipes at a time! We have a 13 month old and I will be using this when it is time to potty train him as well. As for the issues that some people have with the splash guard, we just don't use it. It is not really necessary with this seat. Overall a great product, I would definitely buy it again and recommend to other mom's!!!

My son is 4 and he loves this potty!! He is now an official big boy and ready for school. I have had other potty chairs and they both leaked urine into the base and were very hard to clean. I have NO PROBLEM with this chair. The potty part comes out and is very easy to clean. LOVE IT> Plus my little one loves the cushioned seat.

A sturdy potty chair without all the nonsense that distracts little ones. Our 2.5 year old can use this one whenever she wants but must ask for help on the big potty. She loves being able to go without asking for help and I like that its not half potty chair and half toy.
