This is AMAZING!!!! Day 1 my 3.5 year old was standing and going potty! He had never stood and went potty before so I am extremely happy with this! Within the week he is now standing at other locations that don't have the light on the toilet! What a great tool for kids to learn!!! Many reviews had me questioning if I should spend $35 on it and I'd buy it if it was $100 lol its seriously a game changer! We used to have a potty training seat that we would have to use and that's all he ever wanted so we would take the potty seat to other people homes but not anymore thank goodness!!!! Just give it a try if your on the fence, totally worth it!!! Read more
With two boys in the house, let's say cleaning the floor was a multi-time a day cleaning process. We had a shield on the toilet, but it needed to be cleaned regularly as the back was their target (but at least not the floor). I tried this on a whim, as cheerios or such did not seem to interest my kids, I was not 100% sure it would work. Easy to install, stays in place, battery last (one supplied is short-lived, but replaced Duracell and such last a long time). My oldest (the missing king) dismissed it at first and says he does not need it, why is it here, I am big... Well, he seems to use it subconsciously. I love that you can alter the angle also. The light is bright, but it's easy on the eyes. Replaces a night light in our bathroom at night as it does double duty. For guests, it is a fun bathroom adventure for guys without kids too. It is a little pricey, but it is well made and seems to be a small business, so it is a fair trade-off. Would recommend. Read more
Please be careful with this product. It detaches from the base very easily and is small enough to get stuck in the toilet. I had to request a replacement the first time because it broke when it fell in, but luckily I saw it. The second time, I wasn’t so lucky and it got flushed and completely stuck in the toilet. I had to buy a new toilet. On top of that, the batteries need to be replaced every other week. Cool concept, but the design is terrible and not worth the hassle. Read more
I have 3 boys under 8. I immediately went from having pee messes to clean up almost daily to about once every 3 weeks. That is well worth the price in my book, just get it already! A few things to be aware of: - Good strong adhesive tape means you only have one shot to get it on in the right place. Don't mess it up. - I may have place mine too low (close to the seat, vertically) but I was trying to match the picture on the listing. As an adult using that toilet in the sitting position you may get stabbed in the back with the unit rather unpleasantly. An update would be if you resigned the mounting bracket to be lower profile so that the unit could be taken off and not have a big bracket sticking out, for when guests are over or something. - The timer for how long it is on after sensing motion seems short. I know it saves power, but I'd rather have it go longer and change the batteries more often. I haven't heard anything from the boys, but I know it shuts off while I am using it and that will make you want to move around to get the target back on. That can be a dangerous game to play. - 4-6 weeks sounds like the average battery life. That's fine. The biggest problem is how hard it is to change the batteries. You have to remove the unit from the bracket (don't drop it in the toilet!), Then remove the 3 small screws from the back. These screws are very small and very tight. Unfortunately they are cheap, soft metal and mine are already rusting after 6 weeks. These need to be a high quality stainless steel (this is installed on a toilet!) and bigger screws would be nice so you don't have to use a tiny screwdriver. - the final negative is that it is not waterproofed at all. The holes for the mounting bracket are not even closed, so if you drop it when changing batteries it has two gaping holes into the unit. All that being said: buy it. Still totally worth the price, even if it only works for a month, that's like 15-30 pee messes I don't have to clean up. I will be getting some stainless steel screws for it though. For the product development team: Version 2 updates. - low profile mounting bracket that clips in vertically. - mounting placement instructions - sealed unit. Fill in the holes on the side (no longer needed with the new mounting bracket) and use a seal between the two halves. - create a loose fit hinge point at the top of the unit and go from 3 tiny screws to one or two P2 stainless steel screws on the bottom. Use the hinging action and pressure to activate the seal so the unit is water tight, and easier to change the battery on. You may even be able to use a clip on the bottom and avoid screws to hold it together completely. - increase how long the light stays on. A switch with different time intervals would be nice, but sounds expensive and most people would only use it once if at all. If the batteries are easier to change people don't mind doing it more often. Feel free to reach out. Read more
We purchased this item in April 2020. It was easy to install, however we had to upgrade the adhesive sticker to Gorilla double sided tape as the 3M didn't hold when we tested it by pulling the mount. We installed the base clip and let it sit for 24 hours before placing the sensor target and closing the lid. The Gorilla tape has held up since we installed the target. The batteries seemed to last longer when it was first installed. We have changed the batteries 3 times in the 6 months. Today we went to change the batteries as the sensor was not coming on. I installed new batteries and it is no longer coming on. Looks like some of the reviews are correct that it stops working after about 6 months. Now we have 2 sad kids that loved the Target....I will be looking to contact the company for a replacement or refund. Read more
Update! The owner of the company contacted me and sent 2 new targets as compensation. I’m guessing my device was just a one-off. I still love this product and I’m eager to having it set up once again! Great customer service! Original Review: I love the concept and after installation, it worked like magic! It was very effective for my 4 year old! BUT after about 2 weeks, it stopped turning on. My husband and I took it apart and tried to figure out what was wrong. We tried taking the batteries out, replacing the batteries, etc. In the end, we determined that something was off in the battery compartment. When the backing was clicked into place, the batteries were moved into a position where they didn’t connect properly with the device. The batteries are good, there is just some sort of misalignment when the back is on. The product works without the back on, but then you can’t mount it. My video probably explains it better than this review. I’m really bummed. I want to reorder, but I also don’t want to flush money down the toilet (pun intended). Read more
