Boon Potty Bench

Both my sons, 1 and 6 yrs old enjoyed playing with this potty! I'm really glad my 1 yr old was interesting in how the side drawers would open and close. We took off the orange piece because it seemed to be a distraction and in the way, and you can't shut the lid with it on. I really like using it as a stool during bathtime. Although the hole in the seat seems small there is a lot of space around it to accommodate a larger rear end. And the best part is that it's portable, since we move quite a bit. This should fit easily in the back of my van! Excellent buy! I would purchase it again.

I really like the dual purpose design of this potty bench. I have a very petite 2 1/2 year old daughter who is also very independent. She is just starting to potty train, but does not like to sit on an adult toilet with an insert. When we got this seat, I did find it was bigger than I expected, and if I had a larger child, or a boy, it would have been more difficult to accomodate them with such a small toilet opening. As is, my daughter loves it. She likes the fact that she doesn't need any adult assistance, and she has her own toilet paper roll just for her. I like the fact that it can fold down and is not an obvious potty, as well as the stool feature, which we use a lot. Also, I love having storage for baby wipes (in case of accidents) and even a place to put a book. Overall, this works wonderfully for my child, but with older or bigger children, you might want to actually try it with your child to see if they will fit.

We have 3 different potties at our house, and when given a choice, my 2.5 year old son always chooses this one. I find the size very adequate for him, my son is 35 lbs and 42 inches talll, so he is certainly not small. It took a little time to teach him how to "tuck his willie" behind the splash guard, but now that he has gotten that down, he has no splashes. It did take a while for him to figure it out though.

Improvement areas: either make the doors easier to open on the side, or just eliminate them. Also, the drawer sometimes comes out, so it would be nice to have a latch or something on it so it doesn't sneak out while a child is on the potty.

We used this potty in our downstairs bathroom, which is pretty small. It was a real space saver due to its rectangular shape (it sat flush against the vanity) and very convenient as a step stool. I also found it much, much easier to empty and clean than other potties we'd tried. It was also less of a temptation for my daughter to constantly take apart (she'd always do that with the Graco potty - gross!) because the top doesn't just come off (it actually hooks on, so be careful when removing it otherwise you may break the hooks off!) We did not use the side storage areas because it was too hard to open them (impossible for my 2.5 year old).

Overall, I was very pleased with this potty and will definitely save it for little sister to use!

The potty has a very small opening and my son was too big to sit comfortably on it by the time he was ready to use it. I have noticed that many of the postive reviewers mention they have a daughter. I think that many little girls potty train at a much earlier age than boys, and so the small size of the seat is not an issue for them. I would say that a child sized 18-24 months would fit comfortably on the seat...if your child is already a 2T or larger, you'll probably be better with another potty.
