Um... no. This is what step stools and the little 'booster' kind of seat to keep the kid from falling in are for. I see no reason not to use the regular toilet for toilet training.
I think they are looking at the market for traveling families with toddlers. I wouldn't use one regularly, but having one stashed in the car might be handy, if you're in the middle of commercial nowhere...
I never took my kid anywhere I didn't have to at that age. ;-)
Coward! I have friends who never took their youngest anywhere (after she was too big for her baby seat) because she wanted to sit in the car like her big sister did, without a booster -- so she didn't get to go anywhere until she weighed enough to sit like an adult. She screamed bloody murder if they put her in a toddler seat.
Sensible. :-) I timed going to my folks' (a two hour drive) so it would almost always coincide with her nap times. I never took her places that would put her too far outside her comfort zone until she was old enough to start handling frustration better. Toddlers have so much that frustrates them on a good day, I didn't see any reason to add to it just because I wanted to do something. I slowly eased her into more and more "unusual" situations and never had those kinds of screaming fits to deal with. I'd taught her young that I'd never ask her to do anything that was beyond her, so when I started asking her to do things that made her stretch, she just stretched.
Maybe when she has her first child, because then I will have been truly successful from an evolutionary standpoint: raising young to adulthood who then pass my genes on to the next generation. :-)
I remember Dad setting up a porta-seat in a camper, that he had bought for Mom, in case it rained. It was raining so hard on us, you could barely hear people talk over the rain on the roof.
It reminded me of a flimsy TV dinner stand. I'd prefer this one, too!
I'm not seeing how something that you fold together can be "hygienic". Perhaps it's a shortage of sleep, but I don't see how you would end up with anything but a leaky, smelly mess once it had been used. They're not real forthcoming with the details on the site. Maybe it's plastic lined or something. But even that sounds like it would just be asking for disaster. Dunno, chalk me up to Doubting Thomasina...
My guess is, it's one use only, and is lined with plastic/sealant of some kind. (Disposable diapers may bury the planet, in the end. These might burn better.) Perhaps the top folds down to prevent sloshing while moving?
