I use to have one of these for my oldest niece , but we lose it somewhere between move ! when my next niece be ready to start training , I could not not buy this one again ! it be easy to use , and easy to clean ! yes , the seat padding may crack , but we have train the kid that this be they potty and not a toy . the only thing that could make this better be if replacement padding be easier to locate and purchase without buy the whole system .
