I can't rave enough about this seat. I bought two and was going to use both - one on each toilet we have - but decided to just use one and take the other to grandma's house. I've got a 3 year old who absolutely loves being a big boy and independent and able to do it all by himself. He'll be using it for a couple of years and his baby brother will too. That will be about five years of use, so it's worth the initial investment. It's definitely the best out there by far - I did my research. There's nothing out there with a high enough splash guard for boys. Nothing compares to the quality and usability of this seat. It fits securely and feels even better quality than our own toilet seats.
A little annoying is after my son urinates and I lift the training seat off, I notice a rim of urine on my toilet seat. But it can easily be cleaned up with antibacterial wipes. You should wipe up the seat after every use anyways, for cleanliness. But the training seat itself is extremely easy to clean. I use run it in hot water under the sink for 5 minutes and pat dry. That's it.
Don't spend extra money on a step stool; just buy an inexpensive one that is skid resistent. Target carries something affordable.

I bought this stool for my almost two year old granddaughter to use at my house to reach the bathroom sink . It is perfect for her to be able to wash her hands and brush her teeth . It is even prettier in real life than the picture. . . . I love how it looks in my bathroom. It was very easy to assemble and is very sturdy. I had previously purchased a beautiful crackle finish table and chairs set by Teamson and will continue to look for additional products by Teamson for my granddaughter.

To correct the review offered by the mommy in PA, this seat is actually PVC-free (I checked on the Baby Bjorn website). That's a plus for me, as PVC has a highly toxic and polluting production process and is non-recyclable. My friends LOVE their seats (they especially like that there aren't any rough edges like cheaper seats have), so I just ordered one.

This stool is sturdy and will last my children beyond their need for it. It is the perfect size for my 2 year old and he loves his new found independence for washing hands and getting into all sorts of new and wonderful things ;)
