Would this work with a child's chair? I have a 2.5 year old whose diaper (if she's wearing one; we're potty-training) leaks onto her Pottery Barn Anywhere Chair. I've tried crib mattress and changing table protectors, but they don't stay on unless I...

Not knowing the color of your chair, the Americare pad I bought came only in brown and fits my mother's lift chair. It does scoot a bit, but not much. However, checking Amazon's other waterproof chair pads, there are some that are smaller (17x22 inc.) in various colors that might be more suitable for your child's chair. I had four children and didn't use any pads because they were taken to the potty often until they were used to staying dry, then accidents happened rarely once they preferred dry panties. I wish you success!

I think it depends on the age and wiggliness of the child, really. We started training our energetic child at 15 months and used the Baby Bjrn because it had a high back and was altogether more stable (she trained easily on it). We used that for a month and once she was fully trained (and didn't need a back to lean on, and knew how to sit still on the potty) we switched to using the Kalencom exclusively as her potty on the floor for another three weeks. Then we used it in the fold out mode and we just use it as the potty seat modifier. Now (5 months later) that's how we use it whenever she goes because her butt is too small for the regular potty. That's the long explanation to say, if you've got a wiggler, grab a bin of books only read on the potty or a discovery jar because this potty isn't going to feel as stable as a regular chair; however, it's a fantastic transitional chair and you won't regret your purchase. (The liners thing is just a nice perk, and a reusable liner is also available for day-to-day use.)

My son (5 1/2) doesn't wear any diapers or pull ups at night and in some cases has had some pretty massive accidents. This pad has never leaked. I wouldn't think that it could replace a diaper for an adult, but it could certainly take care of any leaks that may occur between changing.

I have been using ikea cribs, I have two mattresses for my 5 month and 18 month and love them. It's just a tight fit which is great in the crib. No loosening pacifiers and spit cloths....you just have to push down the corners to fit the foam mattress. It compresses to fit.

I haven't used this yet, but I'm thinking yes. We have an Ikea potty seat, with the highest pee guard I've come across thus far, and pee still gets sprayed out. The only way I've remedied this is to sit him back words. So, you could hold tissue there while he pees, or have him sit backwards on the toilet.

I did not use this from the beginning with my son's potty training. I do know he is 4 years old now, and he's still potty-training. He was getting too big for the seats in the stores. He does like this seat and will sit on it. I've been told you can use it for younger ages (1 1/2 or 2 year-olds), as well. I hope this helps!

I am also looking for something to keep my 10 month old from wiggling off the changing pad and I found this...Hulabye HAPPY CHANGER Wiggle-Free Baby Diaper Changing Vest...now I haven't tried it but I think I will.

Yes, this is how I use mine. Remember it only covers the width of a regular seat, so if you are using an extended rear facing timeframe for your toddler, he or she may have long enough legs to be able to reach outside of the width of the mat.

I think it depends on how big they are and how much head control they have. I used it for my first daughter before she could sit up....I loved it. It is something that I plan to use again on my second who is a week old. I will probably try him in it when he is a month or so old to see how he does....it is worth the investment...it also protects the fabric seat well into when they are older.

I used it with gDiapers without any problems. The day my daughter learned to roll over, she started sleeping on her stomach. I clipped it to the back of her gDiaper and it worked perfectly.

Check on the purerest.com web site for lots of sizes of pads. I used their crib pad for nearly 10 yrs and it's still perfect after many many hot/dry washings. It's just a flat pad (not fitted) but I love it and it works very well for diaper leaks, without even needing anything waterproof. I also love that it's 100% organic cotton (no other types of fabric or chemicals).

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

I used this for my daughter during our last cruise to put on the toilet in our stateroom. She is around the 90% height/weight at 2yrs and she was okay using it at that time. However, we don't use it at home because we have larger toilet seats and pottys. I tried the plastic bags and she couldn't stand using them. If your child is near the top end of the range, I wouldn't suggest this unless it was for travel where you needed to pack a seat to use.

I wouldn't get this for cloth diapers. We did and had to get a different one (more like a kitchen sized trash can). It won't hold enough diapers and getting them out of it is a PAIN!

Gail, the booster seat seams to work on the wooden dining chairs that I have. I have a side chair that has cloth upholstery on it and I tried it on that and it didn't seem to stay put.

I think they are concerned about movement but I just had my wife stick her knee in it and lean in while I cranked on the strap for our padded chairs (put a towel the boster to save the cushion). Our kids put their kids in them on padded chairs, and it works for us as well. Disclaimer is that the manufacturers liabity is off the hook if the chair malfunctions, so tighten it down. Hard.

My two year old has put it on himself. It just sits on the potty and stays on. He can take it off too.
