Baby Products Reviews of Kalencom POTETTE - On the Go Potty Green
Customer Review: Best thing for potty training!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't sing enough praises for this little potty! We have the Cool Gear travel potty as well, and although I like that one to leave in my jogging stroller for our daily outings (holds extra bags, underwear, wipes, etc.) my only complaint with that one is the size - WAY too big to fit in a diaper bag. This little potty, however, is perfect! I bought it in hopes that the other reviews were accurate and the size was true as depicted - I was so happy to open the Amazon box only two days before we headed out on a week-long backpacking trip with our potty learner! If you can see the photo on the product, it is a true representation of how small it really is. The little legs fold in for storage and the overall size is just big enough for a little toddler bum. It's small enough to fit in a medium-sized diaper bag, although we just toss it in the bottom of our stroller for daily shopping trips. I originally ordered the potty with a supply of the special Potette bags, but soon discovered the small trash bag/disposable nursing pad route works very well. I would purchase the Potette bags again for a specific trip only because they are packaged smaller than I could get the trash bags.
My daughter used this little potty on our trip and we were so glad we had it, considering there are no potties at the ruins of ancient cities (where we were exploring)! It is small enough that we were even able to let her use the potty during our time on the plane, right in between the seats (who wants to let your toddler peruse the airplane bathroom anyway??). No one ever noticed and it helped us to spring to action once the magic 'I need to pee pee' words were spoken. The little bag that comes with it is nice, but after so much use and abuse it has torn, but a gallon ziploc will do the trick from now on. My only other complaint is that the makers of the Potette potty haven't given me money for being a walking advertisement for their product all over Europe and Asia!
For only $10, this is definitely worth a try. I just wish I had bought this one before my Cool Gear.
Customer Review: A must have for your car!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this b/c the regular potty seat was too bulky for my suv w/my stroller, shopping bags, books, toys, etc. I wanted to have it for car emergencies and ended up using it alot more. Yes, I'm sure the potty seat isn't all that comfortable for the little buns and if you don't open the legs up properly, the seat might go flat but after using it once or twice, you get the hang of it and it's a life saver almost. It's in a cute little flat pouch that's sanitary to carry the seat and the inserts in....I also carry a tiny bottle of hand sanitizer and some wipes. Normally carry a box of kleenex in my car so don't need toilet paper. The seat does the job and the inserts never dripped. After use, you tie it up and toss it in the trash. I've used it in front of restaurants, at the park, parking lots of many places and highway rest areas. Cheap for it's use. I recommend highly!Customer Review: Potty Training 101
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is very useful. I keep it in my car and it has been used on quite a few occasions. It is a bit small for my average height two year old boy, but the necessary body parts fit on the potty so that complaint is minor. As long as you be sure to snap the legs in place, it will hold and shouldn't break.
I agree with another poster that it looks uncomfortable, especially for a larger child, but for quick uses, it doesn't fail. When you consider the alternative (public restrooms, trees,etc.), this potty is a must-have.
It is very compact and should be able to fit in a small bag. The plastic refills (for the lining) are not available in all stores but I was able to use regular plastic grocery bags just fine, so save some money and recycle those plastic bags by using it with this potty. Attractive and functional, highly recommmended.
Customer Review: great for the the road!
Summary: 5 Stars
my son loves his little potty, though he has admittedly never sat on it. he just stands and pees in to it. he loves to pee onto the turtles on the absorbant pad so he rarely misses. it folds down very flat and the bags aren't bulky either, so it is very portable. it's a much cleaner alternative to a walmart bathroom!
UPDATE JULY 2008
my daughter is now potty training, and this has been a life saver. it's a little small for sitting on, but she hasn't fallen or missed. i love how portable and easy to store it is. we keep it in the car at all times and it has been used in many 'emergencies'. my son still uses it too when we're out without a bathroom around. my kids call it the 'turtle potty' for the little turtles on the pads. just wanted to update to say no problems with it, and the kids make use of it a lot!
Customer Review: Used "potette" twice on the airplane with my toddler
Summary: 4 Stars
This little potty is very little. It literally does fit in your diaper bag. My 20-month-old needed to use it twice in one airplane flight. We just placed it on top of the closed lid of the big toilet in the airplane bathroom and it worked amazingly well. We have also used it camping and it works great. The legs are quite sturdy - you do have to make sure they are securely clicked into place but once that happens you are good to go. Because this is such a tiny pot I'm not sure how good it would be for kids who are 3 and up. My son is 22 months and it fits well but not for too much longer. Overall - a really neat little device!
