I debated for a few weeks on whether to buy this or not. The price was definitely a deterrent for me. Now that we have it, I'm glad I did. Prior to purchasing the potty stool, we were using a regular step stool. My son would stand on it, then hang onto the towel rack and me or my husband for balance in order to potty. The potty stool has given us the freedom to have two hands free while he holds onto the sides and goes to the bathroom. (He stands up for peeing so having a place to hold onto is essential.)

He also seems to be more comfortable actually sitting on his toilet seat. Prior to this purchase, he did not want to sit... between the moving toilet seat and the step stool, it wasn't secure for him. But now that we've gotten this he's actually been sitting on the seat without any issues. In fact, he seems to enjoy sitting on the seat (maybe a little too much! lol).

I also like the fact that it's super easy to remove the sides in order for adults to use the toilet. The only issue is the step portion--when sitting on a toilet, it means you have to have your feet out further than normal. I'm 5'9" so it's not a huge issue but for a shorter person or even someone older like a grandparent I could see it being a potential issue.

The only other issue I have is the price. I think the company knows it has a corner on this market so can charge what it wants. If you do purchase this you'll be surprised at how super simple the design is, I almost want to kick myself for not thinking of it myself!

I have to say, if it were less expensive I'd order another for my upstairs bathroom. But at this cost, I think we'll deal with only having one.

I have triplet boys that are currently potty training. I did a decent amount of research on a stepping device to help them get onto the potty because I was worried about them being in a hurry, running into the bathroom and subsequently causing carnage and mayhem. We have various step stools in the house to help them reach faucets in the bathroom and the counter in the kitchen. While effective in giving them vertical aid, the steps slide on the floor or tip over when toddler feet get to tap dancing about (because we all know they can't stay still). Toothbrushing is an Olympic sport in my house. Meanwhile, the stool I have in the kitchen folds, so its a finger squashing nightmare because they can't just leave anything alone, can they? I wanted something that I could leave in place all of the time that I didn't have to worry about if the kids needed to get onto the potty when I couldn't be right there in an instant. The Potty Stool for Toddler Toilet Training Step Stool It's not uncommon for me to be in one bathroom with one kid when the other has to go in another bathroom, so having the secure potty stool gives me piece of mind that they won't tumble off the step and crack their melon on the potty. Truth be told, it is expensive, so what. It works well and it is worth the investment.

The kids will be using it for a long time as they won't be tall enough to get on an off the pot for awhile. What I like about this stool is that it is stable; it has the arm handles to help the kids take a step up, it has enough space on the step itself to allow them to turn around and take their pants off so I don't have to worry about them falling off an unstable step or attempting to climb onto a step with their pants around their ankles. I like that the kids have a place to rest their arms because when they are potty training- you do an absolute ton of waiting. They may as well be comfortable. Finally, I put their books, flutes, crayons, stuffed animals and all other distraction devices in a bag that hangs on one of the handles. The Potty Stool for Toddler Toilet Training Step Stool This way they don't have to reach for anything and have entertainment at their fingertips. Get it- its worth it.
