Can this be used on a child that is also having trouble with BM's? she is handicapped and we are trying to get her potty trained. How is the clean up

Juse Home Medical is the company and they have great customer service. Their number is 800-998-7750 - I would call them directly. Clean up is messy the first week but is worth it. Buy underpads and tape them to the bed to help with clean up.

To my knowledge, this device detects only moisture in the form of urine. Your best bet is to contact the APTA (American Physical Therapy Association) to find a Physical Therapist specializing in bladder and bowel training in your area. They can assist with a bowel training program for your child. This type of therapist specializes in these kinds of issues and go through extensive training. Hope this helps.

Hi Erin, I have not tried the other potty. This one works great. It folds up. It is sturdy even for my almost 40lb 2 yr old. The bags that go along with this are easy to hook in place and stay there while he is using it.

I think these were designed for dogs in heat and the belly bands for markers. All 4 of my boys wear belly bands and 1 of my girls wear diapers because she marks as well. There is a hole for the butt so it wont hold the poo plus that would be a very messy clean up. Get a belly band for the marking and continue to work on housetraining hopefully he'll learn both are a no no and you wont need it.

Yes, because we potty trained our great-granddaughter and removed the boy-guard. This is best money you will ever spend; we gave it to the church after 1-month. The Potty Book is also fun. Remove the stress and make it FUN!

I personally haven't had issues cleaning up solid poop with the Freetime diapers. In fact, they are my go to overnight diaper because they can take the challenge with no leaks. Diaper sprays are most helpful AFTER baby has started eating solid foods but while just drinking milk/formula it's not necessary. The best way to deal with the flaps is to place them the same way every time. For example: the front flap (the one that is sewn near the belly button) I place down first. Then I place the rear flap (the one sewn at the buttocks) over it. This gives a solid surface which is easy for wiping. If you place the flaps the other way it makes cleaning poop off hard because its on both flaps instead of just one. Free times are definitely worth the try. Don't let a few inexperienced folks scare you away from them. There isn't a problem when the flaps are properly placed.

Yes, I had this problem when I was using the bath pad as well! I stopped using it though because it gave my daughter a terrible rash all along her back side after about two months of using it. I think because it's impossible to get really clean it started growing mold or some kind of bacteria inside of it. Just make sure to watch your baby's back for a rash while using it! :)

It's a great detergent for clothes, but it seems lacking on diapers. We've been struggling with bacteria buildup and ammonia with our 1 month old for a few weeks now. Be sure to follow Charlie's diaper instructions; you MUST add a disinfectant to the wash! We will probably be switching to Tide Free and Gentle if the ammonia issues continue.

We dont really look at it as a tool to keep clean, it's really just to make it easier to sit on the pot. Some public toilets are elongated bowls and can make it harder to sit on. But as mentioned in our review, this seat moves around easily and makes it hard for the kids to hold on, thus making them not want to "go". We would clean it with antibacterial wipes after use.

Yup the whole sections pops out and my clumsy 20 month old cna take it empty it in the potty and put it back after momma washes it :). Liquids pour out super easy from the back if that makes sense. Solids yo ukinda have to shake em out a bit if they are stuck to the bottom but they find their way out! I usually wipe with a baby wipe then rinse in the bath tup with a spritz of soap for solids or just quick water rinse for pee. There is a sort of built in channel so you can empty from the back of the potty (once that section is pulled out) , it's hard to explain but when you come to empty it it makes sense! I've bought 2 of these and while light weight they are still pretty sturdy and haven't been damaged here yet. The white one gets a little dusty sometimes but a wipe wipes it off well. and my son doen't usually pee out, the pee guard seems decently high but he can get on/ off easy. We've bought 2 (they were on sale under 10$) to have one in the car for traveling and one in the house.

hi. just in case in you still need an answer, Dr. Brown's worked great for us. Its not the most easy to clean friendly, but its construction makes it very easy on baby for burping, gas and colic. congrats!

The stool kind of works for the potty but I would recommend getting something else if your primary use would be a step for the potty. The issue we have had with this stool in the bathroom is that it is very large. Even though I would not recomend this for the potty it is a great stool and we use it very day. It works great for washing hands and helping out in the kitchen. I hope this was of some help. Good luck!

I spoke with my sister and she states that found a video on youtube that helped with cleaning the bladder. The method is not convenient but it worked,,Sorry about the delay !

My kids use it for their kids' diapers. They come out clean, but sometimes need some time in the sun to bleach out stains.

Yes, this potty does clean easily. The only spot that is tricky to keep clean are the handles. They are two pieces that have a crack in the middle. Dirt settles in the crack.

My son does that. But then he sprays poop all over the back of the toilet and I make him clean it up. I'm getting this product to eliminate that.

My 18mo old can use it by herself with a step stool. I didn't teach her she just wanted to play with it one day and started putting it up there and asking to go up so I got her a stool and now she can do it by herself. I also love that it is very easy to clean. I rinse after each use and wipe down with vinegar periodically.

My sister uses the same potty for her son for on the go. It works as long as he knows how to point it down since no shield. But also depends on size of child using it he used it thru age 3.
