Tri-To-Go

[UPDATE: I am upgrading back to five stars because I do love this product so I spoke with QC at Reliance Products who is very interested in what could have malfunctioned and are working with me to figure it out and make it right] [UPDATE 2: Reliance Products could not have been more friendly and helpful. They have not said anything about why the seat may have failed but they are sending a replacement. In my case I believe it was because of the way the straps of the cover pulled against the fabric when using it as a seat, either they are too short or I was mounting it wrong. On my new seat I will be looking out for that.] I sat on this a few times to test it out and it worked great, then stashed in the back of my van with my poop-up shelter to have available for on the road emergencies. Then one day I showed up at the campground and discovered I had forgot my folding chairs, which disappointed me until I remembered my tri-to-go is not only a stool dispenser but also a camp stool. Taking position at the head of the camp fire I was regaling the 20+ members of my group with one of my hilarious entertaining stories and almost to the punch line when suddenly the seat material just disintegrated on two corners, the sudden weight shift snapped one of the plastic seat cover clips, and the seat displayed a hitherto unknown ability to lay flat on the ground. For a moment I was suspended like a cartoon victim blithely blathering on until gravity took over and my heels and butt exchanged elevations. My audience laughed even harder than they had the first time I had told my story. I was humiliated and only able to work past it because my lightening fast reflexes had managed to catch my beer before I hit the ground. The seat is rated for 300 lb and I am still short of that milestone. The material does not seem rotten and the seams were still intact but the material seemed to have destructed from the center of each corner simultaneously. I am investigating the possibility of making a new seat using the old one as a template because I love the concept of this stool/stool dispenser. The size is great and it can be stashed anywhere. I even took it for a whitewater kayak ride one time when my body was hinting at signs of instability. This item would rate five stars if one could depend on it.

I road trip a lot and generally camp in my car while spending time at National or State Parks. Using the bathroom discreetly was always my main concern. And having space to store a bathroom setup. This chair serves two purposes, and no one would ever know it was a toilet, unless I pointed it out. Anyway, I love that I can set it up quickly and store it away just as expeditiously. I've been using it consistently for 14 days so far, no issues or complaints. I hope it lasts a long time. If I ever run into the problem of the fabric wearing, I figured I'd just reinforce it with an iron on patch of sorts. For those that figure weight/body size... I'm 5'1" and 130lbs. Holds my weight well...hope this helps!

I bought this to go inside my tiny camping trailer. It's been a year now and I have used it on every trip. My grandkids have used it as well. It's tough for little ones to get seated alone, but with help it works just fine for them. I am a small person under 130 lbs. Don't know how sturdy it would be for a larger person. I really love the convenience of this product. It is easy to store and quick to put out if needed. The quality of the frame seems to be good, as it as held up for many uses. The fabric material has also held up without any issue, (I was concerned when it arrived that the fabric would not last long). I would recommend this product for small adults and supervised children.

This is great. Works great for camping. So sturdy. The only thing is the cover to put on after you put on the bag is super loose; just doesn't fit snug. Otherwise, this is super awesome. I'm so glad I bought it. I love camping but hate going up to porta potties. So, this is great and buying extra biodegradable bags of any kind (should be 30 gal) works great. Also, the design includes a piece of material that keeps the bag in place and not on the ground. Good job on this one!

Other reviews indicate fabric tears. Believe it. I weigh 280lbs. I used it once as a camp chair and the fabric shredded. Weight rating was 300lbs. Either the fabric is rotten or simply inadequate to the task. With more durable fabric, this would be a great product. Weighs 3 lbs. I would include a photo but can't figure out how. Fabric tore on two corners. The seams on one corner and the fabric on the other where a strap is sewn in. Another solution to add strength without significant weight penalty is to run a reinforcing strap around the perimeter under the cloth cover, to limit the stress on the fabric itself and provide more support to that end. (no pun intended) Returned defective to Amazon and received only partial refund with no explanation. This is bad business Amazon! Would have contacted Amazon directly regarding this obvious screw-job but they don't make that easy.

I bought all 3 toilets to determine which would work best in my minivan on long road trips as I’ve found it can be very hard to find restrooms when you need them. Pic shows different heights, the green cloth one is 19” high- I measured it. While it was comfy to sit on, it was not stable & the legs do not lock into position. While it fit in the space I have for it, it was just a bit too wobbly for my liking. And, as many other reviewers noted the fabric/stitching do not seem durable enough. I returned it and went with the round black one. Although lowest of the 3 at 11”, it was stable & easily fit the space it needed to.

Great value and a total life saver. My friends and I used this at 13,000 feet after a VERY bumpy jeep ride up Imogene Mtn in CO. They were all thankful I bought this contraption. It's very easy to use and the bags that are recommended for this work like a champ. If you need a portable toilet that is compact, get this one.

Buon prodotto, pratico e di discreta fattura. Occupa poco spazio e non devo tutte le volte cercare un tombino della acque nere nei vari autogrill o camping vari

I have not "tried to go" on this yet, but I have opened and sat on it as a test. I weigh 300+ lb and felt that it would be acceptable to use in an emergency, which is what I bought it for. The opening is a little small, so I would use it for No. 2 only. But I'm sure it will be better than a shovel and dirty shoes!

ya porfin llego, si funciona muy bien., peso como 100kg y si me aguanto muy bien. ideal para acampar en la playa

A la 4ta usada se desgarró la tela

(UPDATE) We got a full summer out of this potty without any issues so it will be joining us again this summer. We now put a scoop of kitty litter in the garbage bag that we use instead of the Reliance bags. Perfect for our pop up truck camper. Folds up during the day and comes out at night. I am 180 lbs and it holds my weight but I doubt it would last long if I plunked myself down letting my full weight impact it. The seat is washable but the bags are expensive so we use good green garbage bags. For its low price we would be happy to get a season out of it. You could buy 10 of these for the cost of a plastic porta-potty
