Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

I really liked the removable nightlight. It senses movement & switches off automatically. I also liked how sturdy & good quality this potty felt. My toddler was comfy sitting on this potty. I also like the fact that it is made using anti-microbial plastic. It looks like a basic potty, however, the light & quality make this potty a good choice. Yes, I would recommend to parents (especially those who have children who still need to wee during the night).

How does this product make your life easier as a parent?

The main potty/toilet training issue this potty tackles is needing the toilet during the night. Due to the sensor nightlight, it helps children see when they wake for the toilet which may encourage them to get out of bed & use the potty. A bonus for parents & makes life easier as no needing to change bedding & PJs at 2am in the morning.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

The nightlight is battery operated (which it operates well). However, the cost of needing to replace the batteries could add up depending on how quickly they run out. Also, it would be nice to see different colours & maybe character design to make it more appealing to toddlers.

What an amazing product! So innovative to think of including a night light on the potty. It helps guide your child to the potty in the darkness of their room at night and encourages them to be more independent - also helping mummy and daddy to have more sleep!! The potty is very sturdy and appealing for my toddler to use. It is simple to empty, with the nightlight being detachable.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

This product allows my son to use the potty independently at night, giving him help to guide him towards the potty with the night light.

At £23.99 RRP for this product, which is essentially a potty with a night light (as much as I really like it!) I would expect the potty to come with batteries included for this price.

This is a nice basic looking potty although plain. The attraction is the light. As soon as we unpacked it my son knew it had a light and wanted it on. It seems comfortable to sit on and my son often wants to sit to be read to or play with his trains. At first he was a little distracted by the light but as he has done a few wees he is starting to ignore the light and concentrate on the potty. I can see the light being useful for night potty use and explorations to the toilet.

Well this potty has seen the first proper ‘full’ wee and slightly christened with an accidental number 2. So for that I am grateful as he wants to use a potty but seems scared. It is a good product although may seem a bit pricey for a potty, if it helps to train both day and night earlier and can last more than one child then it will more than pay for itself in nappies.

As my son is at the age of ‘this is mine’ maybe peel off stickers would be good to personalized. This could all be a part of the pre-training build up, choose pants, personalize potty etc.

What a great and well thought out potty this is. My son is very happy to use and sit on this potty comfortably. I love that this potty has a built in night light that is movement activated and that the night light can also be removed and held by the child. This potty is easy to clean and has anti-microbial plastic which fights against germs. Everything has been thought out really well with this potty.

Since using this product I haven't had to change many nappies as my son is pretty much keen to use this potty most of the time.

I can't think of anything to improve this potty, everything has been well thought out already. Maybe more colours?

This is great as there is no need to worry about finding the potty in the night. He can find it straight away and go back to bed without hardly being disturbed.

The price is a tad off putting but knowing how amazing is and the overall quality I can see someone else buying it if they heard a great review, maybe not if just passing in the shop.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow parent?

This product makes potty training fun and more interesting.  My little one is still in the early stages of potty training, but since having the potty he has wanted to sit on it all the time.  The light has made it easier as has made evening trips to the toilet so much more appealing.  The design is simple, I like the colour.  The light is fun for novelty value plus it is nice and practical, although once they sit on the potty it is a lot darker.  A great way to find the toilet. It is very easy to use, and transport.  We found it particularly useful when we went camping as the potty lit up really easily and was a godsend in the tent. The light is really bright too which is very good.  I would recommend it only if people didn't need to worry about cost.

How does this product make your life easier as a dad?

It has made evening and night time trips to the toilet so much easier.  Potty training has become more interesting and it is so easy for them to find their way to the toilet now. A great, fun, novelty item that has made toilet training so much more appealing.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

My little one wanted to pick the light up and carry it around like a torch, so not so hygienic, but once I explained a few times that it had to stay on the potty then he was ok. I wouldn't pay that much money for a potty.  I would be more likely to get a separate sensory light and buy a cheaper potty. A nice idea and a great product but too much money.

Tested by mum Louise Gill for the M&B Awards 2016:

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

I like the idea of this. Ideal for when the child needs to use the potty of a night. Night light can be detached so can be used still once the potty is no longer needed. Made of sturdy material.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

Easier as it can be left in the bedroom and the child could possibly use this independently once more confident as they can see where the potty is. Good that the nightlight can be used independently of the potty.
