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).

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.

The mesh is much tighter than a baby pack-n-play, it reminds me of a screen door made out of nylon. I got mine over three years ago and I travel about 4 or 5 times a year with my 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I use it as a crate in the hotels and it's so easy and convenient!

It is also easy, and I feel it is plenty safe for the time it takes to put the pack on and off. I wouldnt leave the child unattended, however, my son is 18 MO and hasnt been able to knock it over while I gathered things and then put on the pack.

My kids are age 6 and 7 so it's been awhile since I've had a baby around but I would have to say yes I mean the little compartments click shut but are very easy to open (I often flip the lids one handed) so definitely NOT child proof in that way you would have to keep it out of reach of the child.

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 stopped using it after my baby started walking because she hated being held in place at that point...she'd rather be exploring. I don't see why it'd be unsafe until they could pull themselves up and try to get out.

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.

It should open vary easily by grasping crossways with your fingers, pulling one section down and one section up. It comes apart when my two year old grabs it so maybe your has a defect and it is stuck, if you can't get it apart.

Not really in my opinion. It's best for very temporary use - a potty on the go in a pinch.

Yes, I think so. I was worried that it would be too high for my then 15 month old to use independently, but it is perfect. It is the best potty I have seen. I only wish that it was still one piece like it used to be. I would absolutely recommend.

its not the best for removing repeatedly, and yes, it does drip pee sometimes when you move it. i had a toilet dedicated for this, and every other day or so just rinsed it in the tub. a pain, but works great overall. very comfortable for the kiddo, and stays in place and the handles and the step made it super easy for your child to climb up on themselves. i would still recommend it despite the pain of cleaning.

It worked fine for us and we travel a lot. we've used it with our son between the ages of 1.5 and 3 and it was great! A little cumbersome with detaching and reattaching but worth it. Good luck!

It does come off easily but since we only use it when the grandbabies are here it hasn't been much of an annoyance. The two year old still prefers her potty seat but the 4 year old loves it!

Neither. It is very secure as I have difficulty myself getting it open; it takes some finesse, but worth it to keep my toddler from the batteries. I still love this product & this is our 2nd summer with it!

I'm very impressed at the design of the folding mechanism. It's made so that the "dirty" side (part that sits on the toilet) is on the inside when folded up to keep any bag you store the seat in clean. Given some practice, it's also possible to open and close this seat without ever touch the bottom side. That said, I would still wipe down the seat before setting the cover down to reduce the "ick" factor. I'm quite picky about the sanitation of public toilets and I'd still be comfortable cleaning the cover at the end of the day rather than per use because if the thoughtful design. After all, the top side of the seat where it actually touches your child is as clean (or dirty) as his or her bum. :) There's also a study that says diseases are not easily transmitted through the natural protective barrier of the skin from the toilet seat, but I still find it comforting to cover the "ick" factor. Hope this 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
