Kalencom Potette Plus 2-in-1 (Travel Potty) Trainer Seat White/Gray

Overall the Potette is a good concept, its great to have your kids own personal potty anywhere. There is definitely room for improvement here and this is what I feel needs improvement: 1. While it is VERY compact, I wouldnt mind it being a bit bigger if it meant having longer legs. Once set up as a stand alone potty, kids WILL have to squat and this can be an issue with some kids. 2. The potty hole is rather large! Which can be a problem because kids already have to squat so it would be nice to make it more comfortable by having room to sit their butts on. Here is what I like about it: 1. VERY compact, it was even more compact than I was expecting. 2. It is designed to be used with a liner, so it is mess free. No need to dump anything from the potty. Just tie the bag and properly dispose. 3. It comes with its own bag to keep it discreet and keeps any germs inside and away. Tips: 1. DONT buy the liners! The liners are literary a small plastic bag with some type of thin padding at the bottom. You might be better off carrying your own plastic baggies and throwing a folded.paper towel in there.

This thing is amazing! An absolute must for potty training and life with toddlers. Very simple and easy to use. I’ve used this thing in so many different places, it stays on the big potty at home and we take it with us anytime we leave the house. Such a relief knowing my little one can basically go potty literally anywhere with this thing!!! My favorite is when she’s all strapped in after leaving the store when you hear “I have to go potty!!” Ok, we can just pull over right there and you can do your business! In a public restroom, I feel more comfortable having my little one sit on this on top of the toilet and I can sit on it too! It lays flat to sit on the toilet perfectly and folds up easily to store, you just have to pop it out of its holding position which is easy. Feels very secure when you use the legs to make a seat to put it on the ground. Comes with a nice plastic carrying bag.

I was skeptical about this one but, as soon as the UPS man delivered it my 2 ½ year old boy wanted to go on it. I let him go 1 time inside but, told him after that it was an outside only potty. We have used it at least 6 times in 2 days and Im mostly very pleased with it. Setup is very easy (just make sure you hear the click when locking the legs in place) but, the built in deflector is somewhat small. Until he learns to hold it down we are going to have to take off his pants and training pants so his legs sit wide enough that it points down automatically (you Mothers of boys know what Im talking about). Also unlocking/folding the legs was a little hard the first couple of times but, it seams to get easier every time. I looked at a couple different portable potty chairs before deciding on this one. The other 2 options were both bulky and 1 didnt have a deflector and the other sealed so you had to carry the waste home and clean it out. Overall, I am very pleased with this seat.

I dont think they had this when my older kids were toddlers, so when I saw it while shopping for my youngest, I was excited. I love the flexibility of being able to use it on public toilet seats or as a stand-alone for those emergencies in the car when theres not a public toilet close enough. Despite my worries, Ive never had to use it as a stand-alone, but its much sturdier than the folder seat that I used with my older kids. And it doesnt slide around either. The only drawback is the size. It pretty much takes up the majority of space in my diaper bag, so sometimes I dont want to bring it around just for that reason. But that is the trade-off for getting a great, sturdy product. Update: Because a lot of public toilets are oval-shaped, this potty seat will sit further away from the front. That means children have their legs extended out in front of them on the rest of the toilet seat. For boys, that makes it uncomfortable to bend forward, so they are more likely pee against the front of the potty seat or possibly even up if you are not paying attention. For my three-year old, he has to remove one leg out of his pants, so that he can spread his legs far enough apart (hanging over the sides of the toilet instead of in front of him) to aim down. Its pretty inconvenient, especially if he has to go bad (and you know how little warning toddlers give you), so he doesnt want to use this seat anymore. For this reason, I will drop my rating by one start, but it would be no problem for little girls.

This has been a life saver when out with my newly potty trained son. He’s 3 and even when I take him pee before we go to the park he somehow managed to need to go about 50% of the time. This has saved us from emergency trips home because our parks don’t have bathrooms open right now.

Anyone who has a child who says I have to potty 30 seconds before they are about to go will love this potty. I had this with my oldest and have no clue what possessed me to get rid of it. Now one of my younger ones always seems to have to go potty when we are going down the road. We learned real quick she doesnt give much notice so after cleaning the car seat a few times and replacing it, we got one of these again and so glad we have it. It has saved a lot of trouble and extra cleaning. It is really easy and simple to use. Our youngest are almost 4 years old and we just keep this tucking in our vehicle for emergencies because they do happen and this just makes life easier in those situations.

We just started using it at home this week because my daughter decided that shed prefer the big potty to her Baby Bjorn. Today was the first time we road tested it...a 40 min drive to Mom-mom & Pop-pops. It folded compactly, and set up easily at their house. But the best part was on the way home when my daughter needed to go potty and we were still 10mins from home. There was no waiting that last 10 mins so we pulled over, slipped a grocery bag over the handles, lay a diaper in the bottom of the bag, and let her sit in the back deck of the SUV. She thought it was great fun AND was able to maintain her accident-free streak in big girl underpants. (And I didnt have a car seat to clean!!) Its hard plastic but she doesnt seem to mind. I actually think that makes it easier to clean. I only gave it 4 stars because its is a little small for our standard size toilets, so it slips front to back. That makes it hard for her to climb up herself and she cant sit far enough back by herself to prevent extraneous splashing, so I think Ill look for another seat for everyday home use. However Im glad I got this for the road!!

The 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! :-)

We 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.

When I bought this I wasn’t sure if we’d use it. Just this week we’ve used it twice and has been the best lifesaver in the car! Just pull over and get it done. No more stress while potty training and you hear the sudden “I have to use the potty!” The bags for it are worth it in my opinion.
