Does the lid close while the reducer is attached or is it just for converting the base into a step stool?

Yes, it does close while the reducer is attached. It is truly a great potty. Our girl loves to use it like it is and her twin brother likes to use the reducer. No issues so far.

The seat in it? Yes, lid closes and everything is in one. Only problem is that the lid is not a backboard and will scratch the baby if leaning back against it. It can also hurt the baby badly if he/she falls backward on it.

You can put the lid down, but it will not completely close. However, it is easy for the child to move off and onto the toilet. We kept ours tucked to the side when not in use.

In short, yes.I assume the seat reducer is the blue soft seat. It's all self-contained and closes with everything in place. I thinknthe "reducer" is designed to take off and place over a normal toilet so the child can transition to the full sized toilet.Step stool is just part of the design. Close the lid and small child can step on.I love this toilet. I keep it by the pool to prevent potty "accidents" and take it to the beach too for same reason.

The part that is attached to the drawer has a slight uphill slope at the end that is closest to the face of the drawer. After the drawer is manually pushed to the last 1 and one half inch of travel gravity takes over and it closes without being pushed farther. This feature is most valuable in keeping the drawer closed.

Correct. It doesn't seem to close completely. But when you lay your feet on it, it does shut. The hinge is just too tight.

I've never just used the slow close mechanism to lower the seat, so I don't know. You can just push the seat down and lid will stay open.

I agree with the previous answer. The cover closes flush so the only usual way to open the lid is to step on the floor pedal. BTW, this is the best trash we have owned!

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.

No, the bottom is closed. The door opens to obtain your compost. I love this product!

Yes; the lid locks closed and it can balance flat on the hinged end for vertical storage.

It has a metal piece that drops down to keep it open. To close it you turn the stool upside down so the metal piece goes back in place allowing it to be folded again. I love this stool and take it everywhere with me! It fits perfectly in my purse.

The top on mine closes completely, however the basket has to be positioned perfectly for the handle on the basket to sit flat enough for the top to close.

This is the batch one so I have to put the stopper in place. It is a safety mechanism. You can get one that uses a switch too if you prefer.

It will close by itself when you take your foot off the pedal. It closes softly and seals tight.

Mine uses a metal rod up to the lid hinge, but the hinge itself is plastic (although the plastic looks pretty thick). I can't see the mechanism by the step, since it's enclosed on all sides.

Its for a new toilet, my in laws has one and is nice with the slow close feature.

It doesn't have the slow closing but yes the sections only closing halfway until the next section is closed because it's safer this way so it doesn't accidentally snap your finger(s). I've using this for family light duty use and it's tiny foot print comes handy to me a lot times.

Not suitable, it is designed to have an earth bottom. I would not want to that close it either, take the lid off and the decomposition is accompanied by flies and other bugs. Look for another product, I would think for you one with a rotating drum might be best.

It will close easier if you run the rubber ring under cold water for a few seconds for it to retract. The lips on the top of the lid for the purpose of catching your thumb and finger in twisting the lid open or close are tiny and hurt when trying to turn the darn thing when it's difficult to turn. Bottom line is cheap rubber lid ring for a design of having to deal with hot liquid that will cause it to expand?!?! Makes no sense.
