Gimars Silicone Portable Reusable Training Reviews Summary

Portability

Pros:

• "It’s very easy to fold/unfold, and in fact this is something my twins do on their own."
• "The folding design was very portable."
• "It fits inside my son's tiny backpack, so we always have it available."
• "It folds up small. It's lightweight."
• "Easy to pack, folds down in its own bag, easy to grab and go when using public restrooms."
• "It folds up small enough to fit in my purse and the black bag for it keeps it discreet and sanitary."
• "It's such a good travel seat."

Cons:

• "The only con: the carrying case is black and for some odd reason it blends in so well with the storage on the bottom of my storage making it pretty difficult to find and grab."
• "Unfortunately it doesn't fit against the toilet for baby to step up and sit down."
• "The potty is too heavy and does not provide my daughter autonomy to carry it and place it on her own."
• "It's a good design but it's too small for my home toilet."
• "Sometimes the seat slides around on toilets because it doesn't fit all of them."
• "We finally met a toilet it didn’t work on this past weekend and it snapped right in half when my daughter sat on it."
• "I dont think you can fold it up with one hand while holding a baby (the tabs under the seat prevent are too tricky, and require 2 hands)."

Design and Safety

Pros:

• "Loved the grip underneath the seat as well as the 2 clips that pop out as added protection from movement."
• "This portable seat ensures your small one won’t fall in and keeps their bums off god knows what in the restaurant bathroom."
• "Two fold down tabs work well to hold it in place on toilet seat."
• "The seat is easy to set up and is sturdy."
• "Sit very safely in place with its rubber bits holding it and not flimsy."
• "The pads underneath along with the fold-out clips keep it rock solid in place, even in the fairly large toilet seat in our hotel."
• "The silicone grips keep it perfectly in place on the toilet."

Cons:

• "It has no splash guard and the potty seat on top is much too small which causes the splashing."
• "We only had this for a couple of days before all the silicone grips started constantly falling off."
• "Does not stay stable on the toilet seat."
• "It slips around and is a bit flimsy."
• "This item is not non-slip as advertised, which poses a real danger if your toddler moves around at all."
• "The seat is not sturdy and has fallen in the toilet multiple times just by barley any movement."
• "However, there are tabs that are supposed to keep the potty seat in place that keep popping out and falling in the toilet!"

Cons:

• "This actually has pinched my son several times and actual slipped causing him to fall."
• "Nice idea for portable seat but needs to overhang the toilet more because toddler would brush legs against public toilets."
• "It does move around some and can pinch or fold up."
• "It's more of a thin, hard plastic seat with no cushioning at all."
