So I bought the Squatty Potty to use as a stool for D, since it conveniently wraps around the stool. It's awesome for all parties involved. Lol
Is it strong enough for a toddler to use as a step-up? DS is only 30lb and our downstairs half bath is *small*. He wants to do everything by himself, of course, so now he's resisiting even sitting on the toilet because his stool just can't go in there and he doesn't want me to lift him. But I wasn't sure if the squatty potty is built for that vs just a foot propperupper.
I had no idea Squatty Potties were a Seen on TV product. My DH has IBS and his doctor recommended them to us. I now like using it too. My BIL lives in Japan, and says that traditional toilets there also situate you in more of a squatting position.
The Squatty Potty is only awkward when people come over and ask what it is, but then everyone always seems interested in them too, lol! When my husband's grandpa first saw it, he thought it was a step to help the cats get up on the toilet seat.

FastHands, it is definitely strong enough, but not sure if it's high enough. Not sure how tall DD is, 2.75 years and average height?, but she can't use it to get up by herself, needs something taller.

You can also find handmade wooden ones on eBay and Etsy, but I think the plastic ones would be strong enough to hold a toddler. I've seen them sold at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and Costco has a slightly smaller sized two-pack set

It's definitely more sturdy than the stool we have for him. But we only leave it by the toilet. And he sits to pee.

Our SP is taller than the little stool from Target. I knew we should've bought a step stool instead of the cheap, cute stool for him (I think it's the Circo brand).
I use the toddler's step stool from when she couldn't get on the potty when I need one, but then I can't use our bathroom since it's in hers.
We have a Scrub Daddy and we have a Tornado Can Opener. We only bought that because our real one died right before Thanksgiving and I wasn't about to try to get into a real store to find one. I bought it thinking it wouldn't last very long, but a few years later it's actually still working really well.
We just bought a Baseboard Buddy but I haven't used it yet. It had great reviews from a cleaning page I'm on.
Ohhh. We have the Starshower thing too. So Squatty Potty started as As Seen on TV then went on the Shark Tank. Scrub Daddy was never As Seen on TV but picked up by Lori on Shark Tank. They sold 42,000 Scrub Daddy's on QVC in 7 minutes!
We have one of those Red Copper pans and I LOVE it. We're asking for more on our wedding registry. As for Shark Tank, I love the Bombas socks more than anything. They are so comfy!
