Our son likes to sit in this pot and directs. He is only 1.5 years old, so he uses it not "right" as potty. It is our only in the bathroom, so he is used to it. ("Train" We not active. To date, he has learned the matching vocabulary.) I suppose it's no mistake that he likes to sit on this potty and also busy, because I could not imagine a child to "on pot sitting "to force. A real nightmare would be. However, to make it in the shortest possible time to disassemble the thing (he holds bar in his hand). Another variant is that it takes off handlebar + top of the potty and thus rises. So far from us that's with an empty pot matter. Let's see how I think one year about it :) This pot has so clearly disadvantages, with the advantage that it is not boring for the kids.
