We have one, and it does work in that Jack can climb up by himself. But I think if I was to do it over again I'd buy the steps and toilet seat separately. DS seems to find the seat uncomfortable and has red marks on his bum after sitting on it. He will use it most of the time but sometimes refuses and insists on using a "normal" toilet. You can get replacement toilet seats that have a kiddy seat attached, or you can buy kiddy seats cheaply from any baby section.
