Recommendations for child's potty?

beks

I have to say, our best ever buy for potty training was the potette plus. It is like a portable potty and toilet seat in one and folds flat for easy transportation. So so good for outings etc and we use it at home too, I could not recommend it enough (I am not getting commision from them BTW but do love the product lol!!). We by passed the potty as my daughter was never keen and went straight to the toilet. However, when she did use the potty, she used a chair like potty (I took her to mothercare and she helped choose a fifi one) as I thought it may help with training.

The key thing with boys is to make sure their dangly bits are pointing down at all times. :rotfl:

ETA just saw the comment re: boys lol. Must confess my experience is limited to girls, although a little boy did use it whilst visiting, and there were no 'fountain' problems. I can see how that could be an issue however :rotfl:

Well my DS used it with no problems but you've got to be vigilant, as Savvy Sue points out!!

Cheap and simple did the job for us - the main thing was to have enough potties around the house and in the car, especially in the early days. We used to have a permanent potty in residence in the living room so that when DS was playing and needed to go, all he had to do was drop his pants and hop on the throne. A small carpet under the potty is also useful to save your main carpets as spillages can be frequent in the early days.

Another option would be to bypass the potty altogether and to use a toilet insert instead, it saves transitioning from potty to toilet and can be carried with you when out and about

We use this as a portable toilet seat too.

We also got some cheapie potties from ikea - they do them in a range of colours so we let DS choose what he wanted. We've not had any spills yet, but I do leave a disposable changing mat underneath it.

another vote for the Ikea potties.
we also loved the ones that came with the huggies starter box.
