The Perfect Potty Stool: The Little Looster - Review and Giveaway




I have three boys 7.5, 6 and 2.5 so I have been in potty training mode for nearly five years now.  Wow.  It seems like such a long time when I have to write it out...and its not over yet.  To get our young children for the "big event" that is potty training we purchase all kinds of apparatus, charts, seats and rewards.  Anything that will help this process along.  Obviously the most important of all necessities is the potty seat.  But, before your child can even attempt to sit down on the potty seat they will need a potty training stool to get them there safe and sound.

Over the last five years I have owned many stools.  Some were great others not so much.  The worst was the cute looking one I had with pink rubber feet (toes and all) that dyed my bathroom floor hot pink.  And all though many of the stools got the job done there were never any that were a perfect fit.  It seems my search is never over but the newest addition to my stool collection is the Little Looster and so far its wonderful!

The Little Looster


The Little Looster is a U-shaped plastic step stool that fits up against the front of the big potty. It's patented design provides kids the optimal leg position and support while using the big potty. Kids as a result are potty training months quicker which is saving parents hundreds on diaper expenses and greatly reducing the amount of diapers in landfills. The shape of the Looster is also ideal for adults to not have to move the stool every time they use the bathroom and it even has cutouts for the boys and men of the house's feet.
  •  Provides total comfort & leg support for years of use. No more painful pins-n-needles feeling when little legs are not supported. 
  •  Promotes complete certainty. No scary feeling of “falling in.” Kids legs do all the work. 
  •  Allows children to have their hands free at all times. No need to grip the back of the toilet seat or the inner, germ covered rim.

The Review

We have been using the Little Looster for a week now and we love it!  I have to admit, when I took it out of the box it look really big.  I honestly didn't think that this stool would possibly stay out of my way when I sat down on the potty myself.  But it totally did!  This is a huge plus for me because one of the reasons that I completely stopped using the boys bathroom is the fact that I hated moving the stool around every time I had to go and then having them move it back when they they needed to go.  The Little Looster stays put and in place.  Here is a picture of our Little Looster set up in the boys bathroom:



My oldest doesn't require a potty seat or stool so its really nice that the Little Looster doesn't get in the way of his bathroom time either.  My 6 year old on the other hand loves having the larger stool and repeatedly thanked me for this much needed addition.  I have to say that I am most excited for my 2.5 year old to use it.  He has been resistant to potty training so far but his little eyes lit up at the site of the Little Looster.  I think that it will definitely take the fear out of being off of the ground and he will feel safe and secure.  Keeping my fingers crossed that he will pick up potty training way faster than his older brothers.

In fact, parents using the Little Looster are training their little ones two months earlier.  That saves approximately $175/per child and over 425 diapers that are no longer filling the landfills.  The Little Looster is helping families not only save green but go green too!

So far the only downside that I can think of for this product is the fact that I have three boys and the aim is never perfect - if you know what I mean.  I think that the Little Looster will see its fair share of splashes and aiming mishaps.  What my husband and I both really like about the Little Looster is that we can easily throw it in the bathtub and give it a quick wash to keep things sanitary.  With three boys, believe me, that is a huge plus.

If you are training a little one to use the loo I really think that the Little Looster is a wonderful accessory to have.  A chic little kid must have for sure!

I like that it tucks in so close to the toilet as to not be in the way.

I think the fave feature is a given... You don't have to move it every single time. Second is that it might help get the wee ones using the potty without too much fear... weeshenanigans(at)gmail(dot)com

I like that it provides support at the side, where it's most natural for my little ones to put their feet.

I LOVE the wraparound feature of this stool! It would be perfect for my niece Harper who always says, "no Tottie! I gonna fall off!"
I like the fact it doesnt have to be moved for other children and adults

My favorite feature is that it wraps around the toilet to provide extra safety so they don't fall off a step when stepping up.
