Liked it but it broke quickly... Dec 17, 2007
By Nolan's Mom I was impressed by the easy setup and the plastic seemed very sturdy right out of the box. My son did seem more interested in this seat than the potty chair or the other seats that fit right over the toilet. I also really like the way that it could be easily moved right out of the way when not needed.
However, after only a few months of my 32 lb toddler using it one time a night, one of the side pieces that connects the blue step to the sides snapped right off while he was on it. Luckily, he was able to catch himself and not fall.
I have emailed the company and am waiting for a response. I do agree with the others that this is a great idea that needs perfecting!
**update** I received a speedy email reply asking for my address and assuring me that this isn't a common problem. I recieved a brand new unit in the mail within days! They did ask for a photo of the broken area so they could "research" the issue. New one has been used off and on for about a month with no problems yet.

The Best Potty Seat!!!! Dec 31, 2007
By K. Salinger
"MBA, MSN, FNP, RN"
This seat is great! You never have to clean out the pot of the traditional potties for kids (yuck!), it assembled easily, is sturdy for our 36 lb. 3 year old, and it's super easy for her to use! I'm shocked by the poor reviews on this - it's been so amazing for us that we've bought three!
We have a girl, so perhaps it's not as durable for boys who tend to be rougher with things? I don't know, but I've not found it to be of poor quality at all. Then again, it's under $30 so you can't expect it to last forever - we've had ours about 9 months, with the past 6 months seeing "full-time" potty usage and have had no problems at all.
Our daughter loves it because she can get up onto the toilet herself using the step and the two handles to hold onto. We recently traveled and had to use a regular potty seat that just sets on top of the adult toilet seat and we had to lift her up onto it and off each time, so the advantage of the step-stool is huge for us. She's also able to put it on the toilet herself if someone has removed it. This seat gives her a lot of autonomy and helps her to feel more like a "big girl" than a baby.
Also, we have Toto toilets - all with elongated bowls/seats and it fits just fine for us, so I don't know about the previous comments of problems with elongated seats.

My son LOVES it, but... Feb 19, 2007
By Busy Bee First, I have to say that my son LOVES the fun ladder design of this potty seat and the seat itself is very cushy and comfy, and he is now potty trained because of it (after refusing a potty chair and hating the Baby Bjorn potty seat and step stool) I'm grateful he will use it, but I have some serious concerns about it's safety. It simply does not fit elongated toilet seats (I tried it on three different toilets with elongated seats)so it is always somewhat unstable, and this leads to chipping and damaging the toilet seat, the step portion can be lifted up and swung around by my son while he is sitting on it, making the cushy seat portion spin and rock on the toilet seat, the sides of the ladder portion are open and my son has gotten a foot stuck in the openings more than once, and the whole thing is unstable until my son's full weight is on the step. I can never leave him alone on this because it is just too unstable. Also, because the fit is not quite right, the splashguard portion does not direct the urine stream into the toilet. If they could just alter the design so that the fit inside the toilet seat is adjustable like the stand alone Baby Bjorn seat, and perhaps fill in the sides of the ladder with more plastic, and incorporate a locking mechanism so that the step portion could not be lifted up while the child is seated, this would be a five star product.

A product with potential. Aug 04, 2009
By Kellie Pease I got this potty seat and put it together in a few minutes. I brought it in the bathroom to let my son try it, but it didn't seem to sit on the seat well, and the step wasn't feeling secure. I looked at the box and realized that this is meant to sit on the toilet BOWL not the SEAT. I kind of wasn't crazy about that but when I tried it, it fit pretty well.
I let my son climb up when I had it secure. I can't say it was wobbly, but I wouldn't say it was rock solid either. I like the fact that it has handles as my son was holding onto the toilet before. It seems pretty comfortable to him. We had to trouble with pee coming out the front, but we didn't have in issue with him like with my first son, who needed the deflector. The seat does its job, I just wasn't impressed.
Pros: Step up Fairly secure Comfortable
Cons: No deflector (an issue for some boys) Not super-sturdy Seat covering doesn't seem like it will last long
The last issue we had, not with the product but with our own lack of forethought was this: When my son pulls his pants down to go to the bathroom, he cannot climb the step. He needs to take them off. (The step does not feel wide enough or sturdy enough for him to step up. turn around, then pull down.) So, instead of making it easier by giving him more independence, I either still have to pick him up to the seat or help him redress himself when he is done.
I feel that this is a decent product, giving the child a hand-hold and foot rest so that they feel comfortable when going to the bathroom. As a tool for independence, that would depend entirely on the child. For us, it seems a step stool and a simple seat would be better as the step stool can then be used for hand-washing.

A Great Solution to Wobbly Potty Seats Oct 24, 2008
By Tom in SoCal We are 100% happy with the Mommy's Helper Contoured Cushie Step Up and highly recommend it. While potty training our son we had already tried several of the typical one piece plastic seats that simply sit on top of our regular toilet and they were all frustrating for him because they either bent under his weight or slipped around too much -- once falling down into the toilet and twice slipping off the side! We figured there had to be some other type of potty seat available but we found the choices at our local big box retailers pretty limited so we tried Amazon and as soon as we saw the pictures of the Mommy's Helper seat we knew it would work for our son. The wide step and side railings give a great feeling of security while our son gets on and off the toilet (we always help or are nearby anyway), the padded seat is comfortable and easy to clean, and the overall braced design uses his own weight to almost lock the seat down onto the toilet while he is using it. No slipping around or wobbles since the first try, and as a bonus the step gives him a comfortable place to rest his feet while sitting. When he isn't using the potty seat it easily folds up and stays out of the way. Our son now loves his "Big Boy" potty seat, and because he feels safe and comfortable while using it we no longer have to drag him to the bathroom when its that time. We had only one problem when first trying the potty seat on our toilet. Because our elongated Kohler toilets are also slightly higher than a standard toilet the angle of the potty seat's step and seat were off and not level and the slipped around too much. You can tell the design is based on a standard height toilet and its very easy to fix -- simply find something about 2" to 2 1/2" high like a piece of wood or large book to put under the ends of the step ladder and everything will level out perfectly and lock into place. You may need to experiment a little to get the right height for your toilet but it will work.
