TinyHiney Potty Elongated Toilet Seat, Adult/Child, w/Chromed Metal Hinges (Elongated White)

We're potty training and had a foam potty with steps that you had to set up each time. This is so easy because it's a matter of just flipping down the lid. We didn't want potty seats taking over all the bathrooms so this was a great way to share our bathroom with the toddler. He can flip the lid down on his own and it's easy to clean (much easier than the foam ones). Good quality toilet seat, seems sturdy and looks good. The magnet works great to keep the potty seat up when used by an adult and will use for several years until he's big enough to use a real seat. Went back and got these for all our toilets. If you're on the fence, just get this - you'll be happy.

6 years, 2nd house, 3rd kid and it's still solid, great purchase!

This seat very well made and the hardware makes it look high end. The child seat is perfectly sized for my toddler.I have a few issues though. The first is that there were no installation instructions with it and the bolts are not your standard bolt. Unless you go to the website and watch the installation video, you will think that you were given the wrong size and will wonder what the other two plastic pieces are for. This must be a common concern because when I called customer service, the man immediately knew why I was calling without me having to explain myself, then directed me to the video. Once you know how to work the bolts it does install easily and very securely.The next issue I have is that the adult seat opening is very wide. If you don't have a big butt it can be a little uncomfortable. My oldest son is too big for the kid seat and too small for the big seat. I also feel as though I'm falling into the hole when I'm on it.The last issue is that it's very difficult for my toddler to pull down the kid seat. In fact, he can't do it at all. This makes developing a sense of potty autonomy impossible. However, this is also a good thing because the potty seat won't ever fall on you when you're sitting on the adult seat. And it allows for the potty seat to be easily stowed when you close the lid.In spite of the issues I mentioned, this is the best of the built in potty seat lids I've found. I tried another one that was plastic. This one is so much better and not having to mess with a removable potty seat is great.

I thought this would be a great fit for us, and at first it was. It matches our standard toilet and altho the magnet was too strong for proper function at first, it wore off over time, increasing its functionality. After a year of normal use (no shenanigans), however, the plastic sleeve inside the hinge broke and the lid slams shut on my boys’ fingers and any parts that get in the way. The Customer service email listed in the fine print for returns comes back as “does not exist”. If you read the actual guarantee, it says the customer has to return the item first (at your own expense) for them to determine whether it actually failed, and if they agree, then they will repair or replace it, leaving you with no toilet seat for the duration. That was not my experience. When I called, they gave me instructions to send an email, the original order info, and pics of the broken part and sent me a tracking number for a new one the same day. It was super easy, no hassle at all to order a replacement so far. 5 star experience to date with this product.

Best I have owned. Made to last for adults and kids. Metal hinge is best made I have seen. Kid friendly and easy to use.

Update: 6/23/2020 The seat broke. I skimmed another review with pic and funny enough, that's exactly what happened to mine. The hinge pin is a plastic rod seating inside the metal hinges. What was when my 2 yr old shifted while I picked her up and I caught her in a strange lean..she didn't fall off or hit the wall but I heard a crack and the seat was wobbly. When I took it apart, I found the same thing happened as one other reviewer. The plastic rod inside broke in 2 places. That is the weak link. This may be something to consider if you have a heavier household. Maybe she just torqued it the right way or what but it broke. There is no way of repairing it without going through heroics. Guess I will search for another one.Original review:If you have toddlers and are in the potty training phase, child/adult seat combos will be so very convenient! I hated unpacking or having unsightly potty add-ons (especially if you're trying to keep as clutter free as possible). This is one of your solutions. SO let's get to it:Pros:- the build quality overall seems decent- the potty seat fold up and pretty flush with the lid so it doesn't protrude- potty seat has a good magnet, doesn't fall when you put the adult seat down- good balance of weight material. Not flimsy like plastic seats (including plastic soft close) but not super heavy like other wooden seats- easy enough to install- good finish and contour on the seats. Not like the cheap brick mass contractor versions at the major hardware stores.- solid enough hinges but of course, it's still early onCons:- No instructions?! I DIY so I can figure it out but just to give you a heads up...as some other reviewers mentioned, no instructions. Simple and straightforward, perhaps? It does have different parts than your typical toilet seat kits so I can see why it would take someone a sec to realize what's up. Just in case, I put instructions on the bottom of the review.- My biggest gripe, supplied long screws yet only a few turns secures into the chrome hinges' base? I take more comfort having at least one more turn but we'll see how that holds up- the screw is literally a huge grub screw. No real way to grip it except with grip glove, grip pads or a wrench (which will mar the threads). Good thing is you really only need to hand tight- don't think the hinge is actually metal, more like hard plastic with the chrome finish- not thrilled about the locking nut concept either. It has a disc with 2 different shapes, make sure the deeper bowl is "down" where the threaded nut will fit in and conceptually squeeze the 4 prongs together as it tightens. You'll see what I mean.- updated: hinges have plastic rods inside. You are fine normally I guess but heavier people or people who plop or shift alot on the seat will probably crack that rod faster.Install:There are white plastic/urethane? grommets so what you do is to make it easiest is: (after your old one is removed)#1. before positioning the seat on the toilet, screw the screws into the hinge (not many threads go in so it will be a quick few turns. I recommend a grip pad though sometimes it can hit tight threads and you won't get grip. You want to seat the screw as much as you can. Avoid wrenches, you'll just strip or bust the top of the hinge if you thread too much. Hand tight stop, that's all you should need. a few solid turns or so. *you have been warned*#2. slip the white plastic/urethane? grommets (or spacers) past the screws to the base of the hinge and seat it#3. guide the seat, screws and hinges onto the toilet and through the mounting holes#4. slip the disc up onto the screw from the underside of the toilet *** make sure the tapered side is facing the mounting hole and deeper "bowl" side is down where the nut will contact it#5. hand tighten the nut, probably shouldn't go crazy using an adjustable wrench#6. make sure seat is secure with no wobble side to side. If so, tighten more. Make sure the grommet and hinge base is flat onto the top of the toilet and not crooked over the mounting hole. Done!Overall, would I buy it again? Perhaps. The deciding point was the metal finish on the hinges which matches the decor. Otherwise, there are others I did consider but with white plastic hinges which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just this one was more aesthetic. I'll update if I begin to get wobble or something breaks. FYI, we are average height and weight so let's see how it holds up.UPDATE: 2/13/17 still holding up. Had a variety of people over the months and only a couple times I noted a slight move so I checked the top knob that anchors the seat, it only needed a re-snugging of not even a quarter turn, if that. Otherwise, it has held up remarkably well. It is even the topic of some birthday parties LOL - parent-life. When the ingenious idea of having a 2 in 1 seat ranks right up there with social events. LOL. It is a hit though. The chrome finish has not pitted yet even with some splashes and cleaning solutions.Update 1/2019: I should've written this a few months ago but the kids wouldn't give me the spare time. I love Children's Benadryl - Just kidding. Anywhooo...The finish is holding up considering this was in constant use with my now 5 yr old boy so that's impressive. However, I did notice that maybe it was the combination of adult using this as well, the hidden magnet is starting to crack through the wood finish. For example, you know when you've been in the house long enough that the nails beneath the drywall (from the house flexing in seasons) begin to push the nail and wall material out to like a bump or even punched through? I feel the flexing from various weights make the area around the magnet in the lid do the same thing. It hasn't fell out or anything but the stress cracks are visible. I will try to update with pics later. Asides from that, the seat is still functional and looking good topside. Still a decent solution from not having a plastic singing potty hanging out in the corner somewhere.

I've been using the same seat for years and bought another one for a second toilet. This seat is not flimsy like the plastic ones. The little seat stays put in the lid until you need it. The seat also looks nicer than the plastic ones. Highly recommend.
