I love the integrated splash guard, but I wish it wouldn’t pop out when I try to put the seat on the toilet. Also, it is a wee bit difficult to situate the potty seat onto the toilet; it takes me a few tries until it sits on there correctly.

I love how easy it is to clean and that the ladder is included on the seat. The ladder is such a great piece to the seat! No more fumbling around with the stool to get it in place. It folds nicely and fits right beside the toilet. Assembly was a little tricky for me but I got it all put together.

Only thing that didn't work out was the slide in flat piece to help position seat on the front of the toilet kept falling off so left if off after having to retrieve it from the toilet multiple times","reviewer_name":"Spencer"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"Disappointed Customer","rating":2,"content":"I have purchased Nuby products in the past and have been happy, which is why I'm so disappointed with this purchase. I'm not satisfied with this product at all. It feels so much cheaper and flimsy than I expected it would be, especially when it's a product a toddler will be using to climb up and sit on. The second step is slanted down way too much for my toddler to use to securely climb up, turn around, and sit on the seat. It doesn't fit well over the adult toilet seat, nor is it secure in any way, and the front of the toddler potty seat where the logo is has a brownish/orangey stain, which makes me wonder if what was sent to me was previously used. I also spent a very long time putting the seat together because I don't feel that the directions, specifically regarding attaching the brace to the seat, were at all clear or sufficient at explaining how exactly to do it.\n\nI'm just all around so very disappointed in this product and feel as though I wasted my money. I would honestly like to ask for it back so I can put it toward purchasing another potty seat.","reviewer_name":"Elen"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"Does the job","rating":3,"content":"This potty seat seems more comfortable than many others because it has some padding on the seat. It also has more adjustability than many other seats.\n\nHowever, the angle the steps sit at is too close to the toilet for our particular toilets - there is barely enough space for my 3 year old to get up, turn around, and sit down. The step winds up falling mostly under the toilet bowl.\n\nThe splash guard piece also falls off very easily - since my child is a girl it is less necessary, so after it fell in a potty full of pee once, I just removed it and we don't use that piece.","image_url":"https://photos-us.bazaarvoice.com/photo/2/cGhvdG86bnVieXVz/940c8a8e-3771-5672-9e3a-f0feab27890a","reviewer_name":"Amoreetutto"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"Amazing","rating":5,"content":"First off the assembly was a little tricky but once you put everything together it went super fast . It’s very sturdy build once it’s put together and gives children security when used on the toilet ! My daughter use to use a little pink toilet but she wanted the ability to go on the big toilet like a big girl and this has helped her so much ! She loves this toilet and it’s so light weight that she herself can grab it and put it on the toilet by herself and climb up to use the restroom and climb down when done .

He can climb up and get down by himself. The seat was easy to assemble and can be quickly put on or taken off the toilet. The seat itself is comfy and has handles to hold on to. The only negative thing about this seat is the splash guard. It doesn't lock into place and during use, it falls into the toilet. I would suggest making an attached splash guard to prevent this. It's not ideal reaching into the toilet to retrieve it and I'm not sure if it could accidentally get flushed causing problems.","image_url":"https://photos-us.bazaarvoice.com/photo/2/cGhvdG86bnVieXVz/1d2446ab-4408-5c33-95b8-4728c38b0757","reviewer_name":"EricaC38"},{"date":"a year ago","title":"Great features!","rating":4,"content":"This all-in-one potty seat topper is a great way to get a toddler used to the regular potty.
