I'm Looking For Commode Chair Recommendations For My 10 Yr Old Type 2 Daughter
A mySMAteam Member asked a question 💭

We previously had a r82 Flamingo, but are looking for something with more padding under the bum as the Flamingo is not comfortable enough. I'd like something that can roll over a toilet, but also be used with a pot. Thx! :)
