Will this potty leave marks on the child's bottom? I have a small cheap one which leaves red, painful marks after 5 min or so

Bottom a little red after sitting that long, but I don't believe it to be sore..just red from sitting.

My child sits on it as she pleases sometimes longer than 5 mins at a time if she is watching her shows or looking at a book while getting comfortable sitting on her potty...she does it without any problems or seeming like its uncomfortable for her...although I haven't actually checked for any red marks it hasn't been a concern for me to because she has never given me a reason to believe it is hurting or uncomfortable for her. Hope this some what helped you.

No as long as you don't leave child on the potty for a long period of time.

I sat my son on it for ten minutes and his butt was red when he got up. They faded fast and didn't seem to hurt him though.

My toddler colored on the wall, window & carpet of our rental home in the few mins it took me to walk to the kitchen & wash a plate and put it in the sink. I just knew it would not come out and of course he used red to my surprise it came right out and I couldn't even show my husband exactly where it had been when he came home. I just wet napkin and wiped it off no scrubbing, no nothing.

My daughter is very tiny for her age and she used it just fine at 18 months. Its about half way between the toilet and the floor. This is the BEST investment ive ever made when it comes to my kids. Youll love it it gives them so independence. I plan to use with my second daughter in a few more months. Shes 13 months now .

No my son it never bothered him. No damage to mattress however I would suggest putting something between the metal bars and crib itself. It did make tiny scratches.

If our 4 children ride this tube long enough, it rubs one of them raw. But, that doesn't stop her from riding it for a long time, though. Our last tube like this (different brand) rubbed her raw the first few times, too. But, after she got used to the fabric and riding it, it wasn't a problem. She's only ridden this tube two separate weekends, so we're hopeful the problem will get better like it did with the last tube. We bought this tube because of the durability reviews--the last one didn't last as long as we'd have liked. Hope this helps.

Gail, I have not tried it on mildew, but after a year of using it on poop diapers, I have 20 clean diapers that I do not hesitate to use on our toddler. I never let a stain sit though, so mildew may not come out as much.

Some adults sprayed the underside bowel goo and didn't clean it. Once cleaned, some undiluted bleach reduced the staining, but otherwise it's not a problem. Continued cleaning will continue to fade the orange. Three years and still a joy to have for two youngest grandsons.

We have only had the vanity in place for a week, but I would offer these comments: Will there be small children in the home? Their prints might be more prevalent. If the vanity is situated too close to the toilet bowl there might be some splash residue on that side. Ours is 8" from the bowl and no indication of any residue splash. I plan on coating the surfaces with a Rain-X type of application just for extra precaution

I totally understand you problem as mine is rough too! We've had it for about 5 months now and he hasn't destroyed it yet, LOL! I thing your safe with ordering it. But it does have a fabric/mesh part that can get soiled but does wipe clean. I hope this helps! Good Luck!

Make sure you've got a good sprayer that attaches to the toilet. There will be some staining depending in the age and duet of your child, bout they get really clean pretty well. Every 4-5 washes throw a little bleach in, and if you gave a high efficiency washer you need to get every nook and cranny hosed out well before washing or you'll have to do them again. We loved these and the all in ones were fail proof for those middle of the night changes.

Whenever it is on, there is hot steam coming through the bottom, so it's probably not a good idea to let it sit in one spot on the floor for too long. I think the maximum time is 30 seconds (it gives the exact time in the instructions). To prevent any floor damage, I would lean it against something at an angle so the pad is not flat on the floor surface. Or unplug it, which turns it off. Good luck!

We have an HE machine as well. For large diaper loads (more than 10 diapers), I use 2 scoops of the detergent and for small loads (less than 10 diapers), I use 1 scoop. I have not had any build-up problems to date. Note that I wash my diapers twice, each time. After washing the diapers the first time, I take a look at each of the diaper liners (the outer part) to see if there are any marks or discoloration on the white part that actually touches our son and I use a stain stick on those diapers. Then I throw all the diapers back into the washing machine with the appropriate amount of diaper detergent (1 or 2 scoops) for a second washing. Then I dry them (liners and inserts).

No, the pad has raised sides (think mini bathtub) so it will stay in the pad. All you have to do is wipe it up afterwards and hit it with a Clorox wipe and you are good to go (I'll usually then wipe with another baby wipe so no harsh cleaner is left on the mat).

Mine has held up fine! We have one on my daughter's bed and it was there during overnight potty training, so it has been washed a lot. No problems.

I've used this tub since my son was 10 days old. I do put a towel down first. He LOVES it!

Honestly, I think it would probably wipe off if you could even get the infant to cooperate in doing the print. I did foot prints on computer paper and put it in her baby book. That was over 8 months ago and the ink still rubs off and smears. I had to tape another piece of paper over it to keep it looking decent. So from my experience with it smearing on paper even after 8 months it would probably wipe right off of a smooth surface like a baseball since it can't soak in.

We just bought ours and washed it for first time tonight. Before packing her first lunch, we noticed the black smudges, mostly in grooves and near edges though also some on flatter portions of the pieces. After scrubbing and scraping, it mostly is coming off. It looks like something burned or remnants from manufacturing (since ours is brand new). I emailed the company for information; we'll see if they replace.
