How is this toilet seat with boys? Is there a splash guard? I do you protect the urine from streaming outward?

It's ok. The splash guard is more of a curve up. It leaves a little to be desired in that area, but it's worth it for the travel ease.

The splash guard is a curve up, just like the other reviewer wrote. We have never had any spray issues, but I do make sure he is seated in the middle and leaning a little forward. I primarily use mine to travel as a stand alone potty with liner. If you use the potty on an adult potty without liner, pee may hit the base, but then falls into toilet. You will have to wipe base when he's done in that case.

In my experience--yes! I got this, when my boy was around 4 years old (he is 4 1/2 years old now). He is still potty training, and he doesn't mind sitting on this seat (it's bigger and is an oval shape--for older kids). It has a nice guard that is part of the seat itself (basically, non-detachable) on it and, in my experience, is shaped well enough to keep that boy's private part down. I hope this helps!

In my experience there is minimal splashing and it all stays in the bowl. I have not had any splash out or under the toilet seat. It might splash off your ass and go under the toilet seat if you turn it on full blast but with normal to high water pressure turning this thing on more than half way hurts. In short I wouldn't worry about water splashing out and making a mess.

I can't answer for having a boy but I will say when our daughter started potty training, she had to be seated pretty far back bc her stream didn't go down and had a problem peeing in the toilet. When we use the potette, I just pulled the disposable bag up a little to guard in case her stream went outside. She naturally does it on her own now whenever she uses it even though it's no longer an issue. Our son should start training in the upcoming months and confident that it will work just fine. It was recommended by a friend who used it for her son and she loved it. Hope that helps and good luck!

When my boys have pee'd their beds, to me it seems to absorb the pee vs. if i were to just have a fitted sheet to pull it off and have slight puddling on their matteress... their still use their crib matteress which have that plasticy feel to them where pee doesn't soak into the mattress. I hope this makes sense for you! :) I also personally like them cause they give their flat matteresses some softness/fluffiness to them.

We haven't had any problems with our son and the splash guard. The only problem is it is difficult to get on or off the toliet by himself. But its tons better then the individual potty. And we take it with us if we are staying anywhere for awhile.

Yes - you're right. We have a girl so no problem. It just allows them to sit on a toilet seat without falling through. There is no guard.

Works great. We've had no "splashing." We also have a B'Jorn and that protects from the girl splash effect as well. :)

No problem with the guard obstructing the streams and our particular toilet seat needs to be well tightened, but does fit on the bowl.

Don't need the pail. The splash guard is designed to work over the toilet. Very easy to put together . Seems to be sturdy. My mother is 84 I have it adjusted as high as it can go. My mother says it works great. If someone else wants to use the toilet just pick it up and slide it out of the way. Very satisfied. Took about a week to get to the house. I thought it was a very good buy

Hello, Thank you for your question. This potty does not have a lid to cover the seat so the seat would be exposed.

Unfortunately yes, my son when sitting down sprays between the seats, and it spills over on toilet bowl unto floor. It's become habit to have wipes near toilet to clean up. Rarely has his clothes got wet from sitting down, it just spills over on bowl, just missing his pants. For my daughter is was perfect, we had no issues. They both felt comfortable and safe on the smaller seat and we were able to use the adult seat for us or our guests.

Although my son is just 25 months, I would say yes, this is a good product for 2.5-3.5 yr old boys as well. The splash guard is a big help with boys and this seat has one. Granted, depending on how erect his boy parts are at the time, you may still need to hold it down or show him how so he doesn't shoot over it and onto the floor. But that is the case with any of the potty seats, even those with splash guards. That said, this seat is also nice because it is padded so it's comfortable for them to sit there a while if they need to while they try to do their business. The suction cups hold it in place well too so they feel sturdy while they sit on it. Although my son is just 25 months, I would say yes, this is a good product for 2.5-3.5 yr old boys as well.

I used this for a girl and she just sat on it. It worked well for that. I don't know if I will use it for my son. I am about to potty train my two year old boy but I think for public toilets, I may just lift him up. A home we are just going to use a stool to stand on.

i used this exact one with my first son and he loved it. only thing i didnt like was that because the seat is detachable and able to use on a regular toilet, it is always coming off and kind of a pain in the butt to keep having to adjust and fix. i dont know why it says "not for boys" when there is a built in pee guard (the green cup in the boys picture) for the boys.

Sort of , it's more like a cupping device to keep the litter in. My son's cat used to do that too , turning around and peeing out the door. It does help it to stay in , like a splash guard, but nothings perfect when dealing with that. I keep an old towel under the litter pan and change it daily.its easier than cleaning it up after the pee goes under the pan and is floating. I do think the bottom lip on the pan helps quite a bit compared to the regular type of litter pans. We also got his cat the big corner pan as opposed the the smaller oval pan. That helps keep it in as well. Good luck to you ! Sort of , it's more like a cupping device to keep the litter in. My son's cat used to do that too , turning around and peeing out the door.

i love my big john toilet seat. it is very comfortable. i would not buy the one with a front opening, i guess because i've just never owned one. maybe i'm afraid of getting a leg pinched or something.
