Do you think this would work instead of an expensive 9" high toilet stool (i.e. Squatty Potty or easyGopro)?

I gave one to my Grandson. It does slide on the floor, stays where it should. He can then easily pick it up and move to sink. Works great for them.

I really don't see why not. It is light weight but sturdy and locks into position easily.

I don't know; I use it at the minimum height. I believe one would have to be Shag O'Neal to use it at the maximum height. Buy the stool. I am sure that you will love it.

No. You just lift up the top cover and seat like you would to urinate while standing up, place the elevated seat on the toilet, and you're in business. It works great provided it's not a strange sized opening. On a normal toilet, it should be fine.

I wouldn't do it on a regular basis. It's more molded plastic than that solid plastic or wood that most toilet seats are, so it's not quite as sturdy. I surely wouldn't step on it - I'm quite sure that would crack it or damage the seat below it.

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'm not sure. The diameter of the potty opening isn't very huge (or close to a regular toilet seat) but it would work weight wise I think. It's very sturdy.

I used this for a girl and she just sat on it. It worked well for that. I don't know if I will use it for my son. I am about to potty train my two year old boy but I think for public toilets, I may just lift him up. A home we are just going to use a stool to stand on.

I'd go with a no, just because the seat is fabric and while yes its strong it's not standing strong (in my best guesstimate) plus if you're alone on a trail it'd be nearly impossible to pick up the stool if you did manage to use it as a boost. when fully open its less than a foot high off the ground and on a trail you would have an easier time finding a rock or tree higher than that.

The information you gave suggested a 7" would be more appropriate. A 9" would be closer to the toilet board and might cause you to sit on the toilet due to your tummy size. The point of using this stool is to squat -- most of your body weight need to be on your legs, to do the business successfully.

Yes, it will work perfectly. I would recommend a solid seat as thin plastic seats may bend in time, the Bidet fits under the mounting at the back. After using this Bidet, I dislike using anybody elses toilet, mine is so clean and hygienic.......and it cleared up my hemorrhoids.

Yes. Note that the step stool portion is variable (i.e., not fixed) and swivels to allow the unit to adjust to the height of the toilet.

I would say no especially if you have short legs. I do not and the seat is raised up 2" higher than a normal seat and if you have a high rise toilet that makes it even taller. I like the size and all and I am not near as small as you but it is just to high i wish it was normal like a regular seat in height. The material construction is very good quality.

It will work just fine for that. In fact, we've gotten rid of all of our toilets since buying this fine machine! No more long trips to the bathroom. We just drop our drawers anywhere in the house and go! So convenient! Really wish it had a hose attachment though..

We use it with an elongated toilet and it works well. It is easy to move around and can be stored. We like it a lot.

No. There is no toilet that sits low enough. Any stool of similar height will work. The advantage of the squatty potty is that it fits well up against the toilet and out of the way when not in use.

Hi friend. A regular stool might work, as long as it was wide enough. That's been the problem with most stools -- we never knew that the feet had to be wide enough apart to let the torso rest in between, which appears to be about 14 inches. Then lean the body forward about 35%, till your stomach is light touching your thighs. You'll find yourself in a natural squat position.

Not really. You could use it to step up, but it's heavy and there's no way you could then get the step into the car by yourself. So getting out would be a problem. If someone else was along to muscle the stool in and out it might work, but there's probably something better suited for the purpose.
