I am looking for a portable potty to take on a trip with my 2 and 4 year olds. When this is not in use is the lip "secure" or can it open easy?

This opens easy and is secure. I bought this for camping with my granddaughter who is a toddler. I would recommend this potty

I use this for my 3 and 5 year olds and it works great. The cover stays on snugly. I also recommend the gel bags and wood shavings.

You have to pull it off, but it's not hard. The lid stays on securely, though, and wouldn't come off without a little help (pulling).

It doesn't have a bottom so there isn't a way to catch anything. It's an oval with foldable wings that act like legs or stabilize it on an adult potty. The kid either has to pee through it on an adult toilet or into a bag. The liners fit it nicely and tend not to leak when tied off, so those are my go to for long car trips. I used plastic bags on a family trip while we were in the hotel and those work fine if you only have one pee/poop and can toss it soon.

It is in her back and strong velcro make it almost unnoticeable & inoperable to little ones. We have never had a problem with our 3 year old opening it, but not sure that she has ever noticed it.

It works comfortably for my daughter. It may not be the best choice if your child is one to sit on the potty for long periods of time before actually going, but then again I don't think many potty seats would be comfortable for that long. We haven't had any problems with it for lack of comfort. It's handy to have. We don't use it in the house but keep it in our vehicle for use on the go. It has saved us a few times when we were on the road and wouldn't have been able to get to a restroom in time.

It closes fine but I have a 3 year old and he can easily get in it. My 11 month old can also pull it down but it's a,good size and looks nice. It's made for easy carrying and extends to hold more clothes so that may be why it doesn't secure tightly.

The legs are on locking hinges that you pull out and then fold down. They are very secure when baby/water is in the tub and have great nonslip silicone feet on the bottom. When you are all done and ready to fold it all up you just flip it over, give them a tug and they unlock and fold down easily. The whole thing is probably less then 4" deep when folded and it hangs over the shower rod or a hook for easy storage. Very clever and well made.

I found the easiest way to do this is to take a knife and on the side where there is a lip and a small opening just gently pry it open. It does fit quite snugly but I wouldn't worry about it breaking.

The container is not easy to open. There are four tabs around the top that you need to get the cover around in order to access the pods. They catch very easily, so when you open one and go to the next, sometimes the first one closes again. It's slightly frustrating, but I understand the reasoning behind it. That being said, if I handed the container to a toddler, there is no guarantee they wouldn't eventually get it open. I would recommend keeping them on a high shelf.

I use it to bring my oatmeal to work. I eat out of it directly. It is pretty easy to open for me, I am not sure how old the kids are maybe not below 6/7 years old? I keep it closed tight so there is no spill and didn't have problems opening it after. Hope it helps.

Sherry, If you are able, I would keep it out of reach of small children. To get into it, you would usually use the " key" that simply turns something that looks like a flat head screw on the bottom of the unit . One twist opens the lock and then you turn the unit right side up, press in on the latch and open it. Sometimes it doesn't easily open so I try again, but usually it will open relatively easily. The difficulty could be compared to a prescription bottle with a safety cap- and we know some kids can figure out how to open those

I dont know about easily, but my 6 yr old has no problem. Also, my almost 3 yrs old figured out how to open it today. It takes a fair amount of strength to lift and open.

The bottom is attached and does not come apart from the rest of the pen. The top zips all the way around and can be removed for easy cleaning. A couple of the side mesh "windows" also unzip if you want a doorway open. Nothing closes with velcro, so all is secure. We use this for 2 ferrets when my daughter visits and they have never escaped from it. Easy to fold up and store in the carry bag. LOVE IT.

There is a tab on the box and one on the lid that line up and have a small hole for a lock like you might use on air plane luggage. You could tear it out if you really wanted to. But it would help keep the box shut if you flip in a boat or something and would keep kids from opening it out of curiosity.

The summer infant lil loo potty is very sturdy and stable. I haven't experienced any issues with stability in my little one. It's back rest height is good as well - my son is tall for his age - the back rest was still steady and high enough for him. The removable pee cup is very easy to remove & clean; one of the main reasons I liked this mod over others. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this specific purchase and would recommend it. Great price for what you are getting in quality.

You can leave the legs open, as they snap into position, but I'd be worried about the potty accidently getting knocked over. The other concern are the disposable bags. They don't hold much liquid. So if the same bag is sitting out and being used multiple times, you are likely to have a puddle of liquid in the bottom of the bag. I hope this helps!

I think so. The padding is below the base and I cannot see any suffocation hazards. The child will have a ton of space, but they will grow into it. We use it with our almost 2 year old and started using it with her at 18 months old. I prefer over a pack and play. And it is so small its easy to take on trips!

There is no lip or extension to grab and pull on to open. The lid fits flush to the container. That being said, I would have to rate them as 'average' in difficulty to open and close. The closest comparison I can think of is that if you have no difficulty opening a container of Cool Whip (for example) you will have no difficulty with these.
