I understand how to make it into a stand-alone potty but how do I turn it into a travel potty for toilet seats? I can't figure it out.

With the seat facing upward, pull the legs out from under the seat so they are horizontal with the seat, out to the seat's side. It works out nice since kids tend to grab to the sides of the adult seat but instead they will be putting their hands on the legs of travel potty. Hope this helped.

Unlock the legs from the standing position (until I got the hang of it, I ended up pulling the leg right off, but it clicks back in place), then instead of folding the legs in to store it, fold them outward so they are even with the seat part and place flat across the toilet. In public restrooms, I just cover the seat with TP or the seat covers to keep it from touching the toilet.

The good news is, it does both. For the stand alone potty, the 2 legs (per say) stand straight up and click in so it doesn't topple over. To set on a toilet seat, the 2 legs (unclick them) and fold out, parellel to the actual seat. So essentially the legs stand up and down and fold out. Does this make sense? This seat is also small enough to take everywhere. I take it on the plane, and toss in my stroller when we're out and about. Most of the time, I set it up in a public bathroom forgoing the actual toilet. It's worth the price! Buy the refills right away!

There is an accessory called "Potette at Home" that is a reusable silicone insert that you can wash like a regular plastic potty, except it's squishy and you could pack that too if you're going to be in hotels or at a house.

It is not the best seat to travel with. The shape makes it bulky and difficult to pack. I recommend getting the "Pottette" instead - it is compact and folds easy for travel, and also doubles as a stand-alone potty for emergencies.

There isn't a bowl, so there wouldn't be anything to catch it. We use it over the big toilet as a potty seat and there isn't anything to dump. I haven't actually used it as a travel one yet.

I have th same issue. This is my only issue tho. I think as long as it doesn't slide around while my babies sit on it then I can live with resetting it. Shy of using duct tape, not sure anything can be done. I think the company should create a tighter or permanent fit.... and recall the loose ones to be exchanged for a better fit at no cost. Because the toddler seat is recessed in the Ltd there is really no reason for it to be removable.

I just received this tote-able toilet seat and found out why there is so much confusion about fitting these onto a bucket. Perhaps some of them are a little easier but mine seemed impossible. I weigh over 250 and I was unable to press the seat onto the bucket in any way shape or form. Then I discovered the secret on mine was to not press the seat onto the bucket but to press the bucket onto the seat! After doing it this way I was able to fit the lid onto every bucket I had in my house which included buckets from Aubuchon, Walmart, VIP, and Home Depot. A small person may need to improvise with added weight or the help of a second person but this is how it worked for me: 1) Lay the seat onto firm but soft flat surface (carpet) upside down with the lid opening tab facing away from you and the hinge toward you. 2) Loosely place the bucket upside down onto the center ring of the seat with the bucket handle lined up with the seat lid tab (away from the hinge). 3) Kneeling behind the hinge of the seat lay your chest on the bucket so the bucket lip closest to you pushes into the seating ring first. 4) Slowly rock your weight forward pushing the lip of the bucket into the ring working both sides toward the front. You can run your fingers behind seam as it closes but do not let your weight get in front of the seam or the back will pop back out. 5) As the rear and sides of the bucket lip slide into the seating ring you will be able to look down at the front of the bucket and see the lip bulging out over approximately 6 inches of the front of the ring when it is almost seated. 6) When the lip is no longer slipping into the seating ring, smack the bulging part with your fist or a rubber mallet, which will pop it into place with an audible snap.

On my 30 year old standard toilet, I had to remove the seat from the bowl to see if it fit the bowl (it did not fit) : the photo on the product's box showed the product being used with the seat up, attached and out of the way and the product would be placed into the bowl. Hope this helps you.

I think it could be used as a travel seat. It is a bit larger then other potty seats but it still would work.

I am not mechanically inclined and I love this product. You lift the toilet seat (you don't have to remove it) and then put the handicapped seat in the bowl. There is a projection that hooks under the back lip of the toilet bowl. Then you tighten a clamp (like a vise) in the front with that black knob. And it is just as easy to take out. Just loosen the knob, tilt and lift out. The handles snap on and off easily enough so you can store it back in the box for the next time you want to use it.

WOW-yes I do, I really had to look. I wonder what that is all about. I love the seat, works great. I have them on my other toilets, but I bought them somewhere else and paid around 90 for each. I have had mine for a few months now. Keep me posted as to what you do. I will contact the seller myself....Thanks

We just found out the answer to this yesterday - I fit it in our LL Bean diaper bag, but just barely. I put it in a plastic grocery bag before hand. This is a larger seat. It worked to take with us, but I ordered one last night that is specifically meant to travel instead.

You cannot sit it on top of the toilet seat or it will not be secore. Lift both toilet bowl cover and seat and place it on the TOILET. It sits INSIDE of the toilet itself, so therefore cannot move.

You have to use the liners or plastic bags (the ones from the grocery store, for instance). But I advice to buy the liners since they come with absorbent pads. I am very happy with this portable potty. .it is practical and convenient. My daughter feels very confortable using it.

Yes, most definitely. It is a great travel seat because it fits public restroom toilet seats, and also those oblong hotel room toilet seats. I'm currently traveling with ours, and it can for in a medium backpack. I have ours in a zippered tote bag for this trip. Just be aware that you do need a toilet for this seat. ;) If you need a full travel potty, look into getting the "My Carry Potty" seat. Happy travels!

You can buy just the seat alone to go on your regular toilet, not sure if Fisher-Price has one, but you should be able to find lots of them.

There is a tray under the seat to direct urine into a round catch bucket. I used a larger bucket with some water in under the tray. It was much better that the small round seat. Well worth the extra cost.We used It only free standing not over the toilet.'

Get a hard wood toilet seat that doesn't bend. We purchased a plastic no slam seat that cost more than the wooden ones and more than this bidet but it was bending and putting pressure on the bidet causing the water not to come out at full pressure. You could tell once you hovered over the seat you got a fire hose of water pressure and in the right spot. I tried the bumpers but they would fall off after a few days even after I epoxied them. I pulled the hard wood toilet seat off the guest bathroom and worked like a charm. Since its wood I might try and find some nail in bumpers with the correct height so it sits kind of level as right now the tip dips down at the front but it solved my issue.
