★★☆☆☆
Too small and flimsy
This is a great idea but falls short. The opening is too small (but all folding potty rings seem to be). Because the ring has to sit at the FRONT of the toilet, this leaves little room to aim and pee. I was skeptical about complaints that the front handles are in the way, but because the ring is so small, there is really no other place for little legs to go.
The pluses:
it folds together easily so the dirty sides all fold into each other
it's really compact when it folds
the joints have plastic grooves that 'click' together when they're fully extended
the bumpers at the bottom of this are FABULOUS. they have a lot of grip and really keep the ring in place
The minuses:
the plastic is really flimsy and any kid over 20lbs (maybe less) will flex this
because it has to sit at the front of the toilet, there is minimal support at the back and the flexing is accentuated
because it has to sit at the front of the toilet, expect the best aim to go right past the potty ring and onto the nasty public toilet bowl and kid's clothes
The mellow go-with-the-flow kid that got to sit on this IMMEDIATELY asked to go to a different potty and then said DONE just to get off the thing.
There aren't much better choices, but consider Mommy's Helper Cushie Traveler if you need something compact.
