Does the top close down onto the the seat securely? I ask because, if used in a bedroom, pee/poop could get smelly sitting around all night unless covered well.

The seat is sturdy and secure but doesn't cover the bucket completely. There is approximately 1/2" of space.

I poured a little pine sol in the bucket each day; smell could be contained about 24 hrs for urine

Really couldn't answer that truthfully,cause mine sat over top of my bedroom toilet

Well the lid dies cover securely, but the only problem is the bucket sits slight bit higher on the original commode in the bathroom and that leaves an open area beneath and around the commode. Other than that it's a great seat. I am still using it after 6 weeks of knee operation.

It closes as securely as a toilet lid. So, yes, if it is used multiple times during the night it will get smelly. I am not sure whether this is the right use for the chair. If the patient is ambulatory enough to get him/herself out of bed and on to this seat I am wondering why they would not just use the toilet? It the patient is a bit unstable it could easily tip over. Maybe I am not understanding how you are planning to use it.

Fits quite well on ours. We set it in the front (it doesn't cover the entire seat) and it sits without moving. Our 3 yr old has no trouble with it. It is difficult for the kiddos to get on and off the toilet themself because of the bigger and higher toilets not because of the seat though.

It doesn't close. I use mine in a tall kitchen trash can. Once full I grab the whole thing and toss in the wash with the diapers. With smelly diapers you don't want it closed any way.

I use it in a bathroom, so it's generally paper products. The lid does seat pretty tight, so odors would probably stay contained. Excellent quality.

When my 2 year old sits on it, he has to push his little wee downward to pee inside the toilet. Ha! I haven't had any issues without a pee guard, I really like the seat overall. Easy to use and fold up.

It is not airtight. On a hot summer day, the poop "cooks" inside the can. We have ours mounted in open air area. The only time we smell it is when we open the can when it has been very hot outside. Now that the fall is here, we don't notice any problem with odors.

Unfortunately yes, my son when sitting down sprays between the seats, and it spills over on toilet bowl unto floor. It's become habit to have wipes near toilet to clean up. Rarely has his clothes got wet from sitting down, it just spills over on bowl, just missing his pants. For my daughter is was perfect, we had no issues. They both felt comfortable and safe on the smaller seat and we were able to use the adult seat for us or our guests.

The lid doesn't do much to keep odors in, its just a piece of plastic that lays on the top, it doesn't seal. What keeps the odors in is the spring loaded piece in the middle that pinches the bag closed. It works pretty well. I assume better with the lid closed, but I've never left the lid open. What happens is you scoop the litter into the top half, then pull out the spring loaded portion and the litter goes to the bottom half. The spring closes the bag, and its pretty closed off. I've been happy enough with mine that I got another to give someone when they get a kitten or cat new to their household.

Yes. I have an elongated seat that I use it on, although there is a small gap between the very front of the toilet seat and the front of the potty seat. Has worked fine for me. I use it on both our round and elongated seats and it is still the same stability. I have a boy that uses it and it has not leaked out of the front at all. I still feel this is the best seat for the money because I don't have to worry about misplacing a "guard". I have the seat that has the licensed characters on it from Target or walmart from my first child and I prefer the arm and hammer one. I believe I paid $12.00 for the licensed one that I don't use anymore. Yes.

The pee guard is not removable. However, it is not intrusive for the girl who uses it and is actually useful when a toddler squirms a bit on the seat. I continue to be very pleased with the seat. It goes on and off the toilet very easily and is secure when on the toilet seat. Remember to place the potty seat flat and toward the back of the regular seat and then slide forward. Wishing you good luck and patience.

It fits securely with the toilet seat flipped up. It rests on the toilet rim. It allows for the seat to be flipped up behind it.

I can't speak fit public restroom fit, but I have one long seat toilet and one shorter one at home. It is a dream on both. The material this is made of plus the suction cups on the bottom really grip and hold the seat steady. It is a very stable comfortable seat. It bulky though...

No - just covered with cloth. If your pet is not "nervous" or high spirited, this is a great seat, but for very active pets, (like ours), I have found that the pet can jump out of the seat which is a hassle.

i love my big john toilet seat. it is very comfortable. i would not buy the one with a front opening, i guess because i've just never owned one. maybe i'm afraid of getting a leg pinched or something.

I believe it's fully enclosed. The toilet comes with it's own hardware to connect the seat bolts, as you can't reach underneath the skirt. The bolts to connect it to the floor are also different, than a normal toilet. A Bracket bolts to the floor and the toilet connects through small holes on the side in the rear.

Not at all. There is a bottom section that unhooks (4 small hooks, like bras have) so that you can use the restroom. Very convenient and comfortable.

It is not airtight. We have it hanging outside which is working out great. If it was inside, I believe you would smell the poop. We put a piece of cardboard down the middle as this allowed us to store bags on one side and the poop on the other. Hope that helps.
