Potty chair recommendations, please?

I don't go too much on the features except practical aspects. It should be easy for the kids to transition from a potty to the toilet seat. That's my main aim and I always look for something similar..and never bought a seat that can be used outside the toilet for any of my kids. I have one that is a smaller toilet seat that fits into the regular toilet seat (I have given a picture in one of your previous discussions on this topic)....and I found that my older son was completely potty trained by 1.5 years and my 14 month old is almost there (though he did give me a hard time at first about sitting on it...I was just persistant without forcing).

A friend of mine is potty training her daughter and she's looking at one of those musical potties. We had one for both of my younger brothers and it made it alot easier. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I would definately recommend the babybjorn potty chair http://thebabycatalogue.com/prodinfo.asp?number=BP055 the large spalsh guard at the front is definately useful for training little boys!!

My middle child was the hardest to train but my other two it was mainly "look, do this" and they did. So for him what I had was a regular old white one in the main room of the house. Since we spent most our days in the living room I just let hom go bottomless with a long t shirt and had the potty right there for quick access. Each successful time I would move it a bit closer to the bathroom. Finally it got in there and then to the toilet. I do like sticker incentives and super praise but just a regular standard "affordable" one worked fine for us.

My 13 month old daughter uses the same potty chair that my son used 8 years ago. It is just a basic potty chair with no special features. It gets the job done. I do wish it was a little easier to get the bowl out to dump though. Two weeks ago my daughter used the one at my brothers house. It is a little seat that is inside a regular seat and it folds down when a small child needs to use it. She thought it was great, so when she gets a little more serious about it I might get her one of those.

With both my girls I had just a simple chair with a removable bowl. It does have a tray you can use to make them stay there but I never used this. The chair was great as I could have it always close by and to a certain extent they could easily get on themselves. I say only to a certain extent as they did have a little trouble to start with. They were both small and the bowl has a big lip on it that made it tricky. My best recommendations for a potty are one that the child can use themselves so it needs to be rather stable. It is important that their feet have something to rest on (makes it easier for number 2's) so if you get an attachment for your normal toilet make sure it has a platform. Have you seen the target stickers you can get for boys to help them aim? I love this idea and to me this would be one of the highlights of boys! Good luck, I know how exciting it feels, my little one is just out of nappies and it rocks!

I have a basic potty for my son. But for some reason he doesn't like it as much. i've been putting him on the big potty, he'll sit there but won't do anything. I'm glad to hear yours is interested in using the potty.
