It didn't help at all.
Yes, it's small and doesn't take up space to carry it BUT
- it's very small, none of my kids found it useful.
- the bags you put in just increase the curiosity of the kids to see what makes that noise.
I wouldn't recommend it.

Convenient for outside as it doesn't take up much space. It can also be opened and used as a regular toilet seat. However, the legs don't always stand well and we had several instances where it folded on one side and we had an accident with the pee. Also, the replacement bags are overpriced. You can, of course, use regular bags

Convenient for when you are out and looking for a place to take your child to relieve themselves, especially when they are playing. Also, when you are in a store. I have recommended it to fellow mom friends and they have purchased it. The only thing I didn't like was the expensive bags, but I use different ones. The ones for the bathroom baskets

Very user-friendly...and practical for trips, visits to other houses, but also simply for a meal or coffee outing.
