Reliance Products FOLD-to-GO Folding Portable Camping Toilet | 300 Pound Capacity | Compact & Lightweight

I recently bought this reliance toilet because it looked big enough, oval, and has a lid to keep smells contained, oh and it supports 300lbs according to the manufacturer, and it is foldable to save space!At 308lbs this morning I decided to test out my weight on the reliance toilet.At 6'1 I needed something sturdy and not too small so that I can actually use the darn thing.As you can see in the pictures, I placed three plastic 6 inch bed platforms under each of the three legs of the reliance toilet. I had these 6 inch bed platforms laying around my house that are about 8 years old. I used these 6 inch bed platforms to bring the reliance toilet up off the ground 6 inches more than the reliance toilet would be, because I am a large man. Because these bed platforms hold perhaps 400-600lbs or more under a bed platform, I thought their shape would disperse the weight of the reliance toilet even further. I would assume cheap plastic platforms come in 2", 4", 6", and perhaps 8" depending on if you are tall or not.At 6'1 and 308lbs this reliance toilet and bed platforms holds my weight and feels sturdy. I would never lean back onto the toilet lid.The reliance toilet didn't come with any bags and I'm not sure that this one from Amazon is intended to come with any bags, but at $40 it was a steal!The reliance toilet comes with scratches. I read about these in the reviews. These are nothing to worry about, the toilet is not used, but rather it appears that reliance buffs out any plastic imperfections that might cut or scrape us, so thank you reliance!The toilet is designed for maximum weight and portability, so we sacrifice a little product assembly - just folding the legs out. Look up YouTube videos on how to fold the legs out, and how to fold the legs in. Because this item is unique, we simply need to learn how to fold the legs. Each leg is designed to use two hands to release the two plastic clips that hold each leg in. Familiarize yourself with the folding and unfolding of the legs before going out to limit future frustration. After learning how these legs and clips work, and practice a few times, it is extremely easy to use!I picked up some biodegradable poop bags that fit this toilet so I didn't need the bags that sometimes come with this toilet at more cost. I'd rather bury biodegradable bags with a camp shovel than carry out feces, but that's only my take on that situation.Great product so far! I will post if any updates if thing doesn't hold up!

As an infantryman, you go when and where you can. This tactical portable pooper makes it very convenient during opportunity’s when we had time. II first purchased this in 2020 so I didn’t have to squat in the of snow piles in NY. Dig your hole, prop the seat, make your business, cover the hole and continue with the mission. Now in 2024 I continue to use it in the desert of California.The locking mechanism finally gave out, I wouldn’t think of any other to replace it with.

The product is as described in the ad. I am 5'6" tall and I did not find it to be too low and thus hard to stand up from sitting on the seat. However, I have arthritis in my hands and was unable to close the legs once I had them open. It was too painful. I had a male friend do it for me, and he struggled as well with his healthy hands. You have to pull up on the legs while pulling and pushing on the buttons at the same time. It was not easy. Otherwise, it would be fine. You must have some kind of rug under the toilet seat as on a smooth floor I think the legs would slide on the smooth surface and it would feel unstable. I was also disappointed that at this price there were no bags included and no mention of which bags or where to purchase them. In summary, I think there are better options out there and I don't see an advantage over this one other than it folds into a smaller space and is easy to carry. I went back to my bucket with a seat on top and a plastic bag underneath.

We will be camping in a remote site with no toilets, and I didn't want to deal with digging holes. After lots of online research, I decided on the the Reliance folding toilet. With prime shipping, it arrived in two days. We haven't field tested it yet, but set it up at home. It is very sturdy and the seat holds the bag in place securely. One concern was the issue that many reviewers had about how hard it was to fold up the legs, but since others said they managed to do it, I decided to try it. It set up easily, but note that when you are locking the legs in the open position, you have to push very firmly, at an angle, not straight down. After several unsuccessful attempts at folding the rear legs, and on close inspection, we realized that when you are pushing/pulling the two taps on the rear legs, the trick is to pull UP on the leg, whereas we had been trying to make it fold in. Once it pulls up, then the leg folds. It is a little hard to push and pull the two tabs at the same time, and you do have use some force, but the key is to lift up.With that resolved, I'm sure this will be really useful! It is sturdy, compact when folded, and easy to carry.
