Problems solved by technology

Such known adjustment mechanisms are not easily readjusted for different size toilet seats and have lots of complicated moving and interacting parts such that fabrication of the adjustment mechanisms becomes very expensive

This can lead to difficulty in potty-seats, both fixed and adjustable ones, fitting either design and can have the unwanted consequence of movement of the potty-seat during use because of the adjustable seat not being adequately stabilized by the adjustment means.
This rigid seat ring is the sole support to the liner system, but can fall into the toilet if not properly aligned when the excessive weight of the liner pulls down.

Referring to FIG. 1, a potty seat system 1 of the present invention is illustrated, in general, having a base 3, a seat 5, a waste receptacle 7, and a waste receptacle liner 9. In one embodiment, the base 3 is supplied so that the potty seat system can rest on the ground, via a plurality of depending legs 11, and directly supports the seat 5 which is supported thereon. A hinged cover 13 may also be provided and attached to the base 3 to cover the seat 5, waste receptacle 7 and liner 9 supported therein. It is to be appreciated that in another embodiment neither the base 3, nor the waste receptacle 7 and liner 9 are necessary where the seat 5 is to be used directly on a conventional, adult-sized toilet.

[0030]Observing FIG. 2, the seat 5 defines a seat opening 15 and receives the waste receptacle 7 therein in such a manner that the receptacle 7 and...
