Okay, so I saw this “Potty Safe” thing on Shark Tank a while back, and I thought, “Huh, that’s kinda neat.” I’ve got a toddler, and, well, let’s just say the toilet is a constant source of… interest. And potential disaster. So, I decided to give it a try. My whole journey started there. I jumped and bought one.
Getting Started
The box arrived, and honestly, it looked pretty simple. Just a plastic thingy that goes over the toilet seat. No complicated instructions, which is good because I’m not exactly a DIY expert.
I cleaned the toilet, because, you know, hygiene. I try to keep things spick and span when kid are involved.

Then it was just a matter of sticking the Potty Safe onto the toilet seat. It has these adhesive strips, so no tools required. That’s my kind of project!
The Installation Process (Super Easy!)
- Step 1: Clean the toilet. (Did I mention that already? Important!)
- Step 2: Peel off the backing from the adhesive strips on the Potty Safe.
- Step 3: Line it up with the toilet seat and press it down firmly.
- Step 4: That’s it. Seriously.
It took like, maybe 5 minutes total? I’m pretty sure I spent more time getting the kiddo distracted so I could install it than I actually spent on the installation itself.
Testing it Out (The Kid Test)
Now for the real test. I let my little monster loose in the bathroom.
He went straight for the toilet, naturally.
He tried to lift the lid, but the Potty Safe held firm.
He poked at it, prodded it, even tried to stand on it (don’t worry, I was right there!).
But that thing didn’t budge.
I’ve gotta say, I was impressed. It really did seem foolproof. Or, at least, toddler-proof. Which, let’s be honest, is pretty much the same thing.
Living with the Potty Safe
It’s been a few weeks now, and the Potty Safe is still going strong. No more accidental toilet swims for toys (or anything else!). No more worries about the kiddo falling in. It’s just… peace of mind. And that’s worth a lot, especially when you’re dealing with a toddler.
I even find it easy to use. Easy to attach, easy to clean.
It’s super easy to clean, just wipe it down like the rest of the toilet. And it’s not bulky or awkward, so it doesn’t get in the way when adults need to use the bathroom. I found that it makes it easy for everyone in my home.
My Final Verdict
So, would I recommend the Potty Safe? Absolutely. If you’ve got a little one who’s fascinated by the toilet (and what toddler isn’t?), this thing is a lifesaver. Or at least, a toy-saver. And a sanity-saver. It’s simple, effective, and gives you one less thing to worry about. And that, my friends, is priceless.
I give my two thumbs up and would buy this again if it ever breaks.
