How well does this seat work for little boys sitting down? Do they end up spraying though and getting the floor and their clothes all wet?

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.

We have two boys and it works great! Never had issues with spray. Kids felt comfortable and it never really seemed an issue.

It works great for kids that can sit unattended. I have been using it for 2 1- year olds since before they could walk.

I don't have small children but I've had spills from my teenagers and with it's microfiber seat I found it very easy to clean with a mild soapy rag. Hope this helps.

We live in Louisiana where temps top 100 degrees in the summer, and we haven't had any problems with it. The only issue the seat has, in general, is that the straps don't adjust very tight, so if your little one is on the smaller side like our son, you might have the same issue. We're keeping it safety pinned in the meantime until he grows into it, which has worked just fine for us.

Ours very frequently bathes while sitting in this bucket. If they're standing, the water will be about hip level.

Our son sweat a lot in his Britax B-Safe infant seat, but we have had this seat for about 9 months and haven't noticed any issues.

Although my son is just 25 months, I would say yes, this is a good product for 2.5-3.5 yr old boys as well. The splash guard is a big help with boys and this seat has one. Granted, depending on how erect his boy parts are at the time, you may still need to hold it down or show him how so he doesn't shoot over it and onto the floor. But that is the case with any of the potty seats, even those with splash guards. That said, this seat is also nice because it is padded so it's comfortable for them to sit there a while if they need to while they try to do their business. The suction cups hold it in place well too so they feel sturdy while they sit on it. Although my son is just 25 months, I would say yes, this is a good product for 2.5-3.5 yr old boys as well.

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 is best on a hard floor surface. I wouldn't recommend buying this really...at least not for more than about $30 and just don't expect much...but little boys do love it.

It does stay in place pretty well. The child seat helps hold it in place. It is a little bit weighted also and a little stiff. If that makes sense. My only beef is that there are small pockets where the legs of the child sit so you can't put anything big in there. I like it, it does clean/wipe up well.

My son is nine months old now and is sitting up and splashing in this tub. He doesn't seem uncomfortable despite the position of his legs (they are so flexible as babies). My main concern at this point is now that he is sitting up in the tub, he is able to grab the faucet handle and possibly change the temperature of the water before I grab his little hands. I think once they are able to sit up, they need to be in the "big" tub.

I have and it works fine for me. Sits baby up good so he can splash around. It does slide tho so still be with bby every second.

We have a 3 1/2 year old grandson and it works great. He's able to pick the potty ring up himself and place it securely on the seat. Splash guard is perfect. It is very stable. My daughter is the one who suggested this for Nanas house. She has a round and I have an oval seat. It can easily be stashed to the side or behind the toilet when not in use.

This seat does require the person to be careful when sitting down. There is two small gripping pads but they do not do a good job. It does sit well and has a great splash guard. Just make sure you sit down straight and not to the side. Use hand rails or counter top to help keep your balance. This work well and did slip 2 times in 3 months of use.

It really depends on your kid. My son was afraid of the big potty when he started potty training, so we used the baby Bjorn potty chair to get him started, then transitioned to this seat on the toilet. If your child is not scared of the toilet then I think they would be OK just using the seat. It's definitely secure enough for little ones to use without falling in. I would recommend staying right beside them while they use it until they are used to balancing on the toilet though, because they could still fall off to the side or the front.

My grandson will be 5 soon and loves it!! It sits lower than a regular seat, more like a booster seat. Should work until child is old enough or large enough to not be in safety seat

I do think my kids sweat in this seat, but I honestly think it would happen no matter what seat they are in. I don't think it makes them hot. Just by the nature of rear facing they are sweaty.
