Potty recommendations please

beks

Can you take him to choose one?! (not sure at 18m as my dd was 2) Ok granted not very MSE as he may choose the most expensive one but we did this with dd and potty training was so easy (well, not so much potty training as toilet training as she wanted a toilet seat and step not potty!!) Certainly in terms of pottys, the more expernsive ones tend to be more comfortable which is ideal when you are teaching them and they sit for hours without doing anything!!

I would also recommend a potette plus, have had a huge amount of use out of this although I suspect it is more useful with girls than it is boys.

i had a lovely one with my first a present it was a potty that turned to a step and toilet seat all good but i much prefer the cheap and cheerful ones i got from morrisons for £2 i think it was,easier to use/clean and lighter to transport around

I looked at the fancy potties but in the end decided to just buy a cheap one from boots. This was partly for the cost, partly because I suspected they were just gimiccy but mainly because they all seemed massive and I thought they'd take up too much room. Glad I did because dd only used it a couple of times before insisting on using the 'big girl' toilet, as said above probably because she goes to nursary and they don't use pottys.
I too back up whats been said about resisting peer pressure, my sisters MIL forced her to start far to early with her ds and its just confused the poor boy and made it into a real issue. In the long run it makes no difference when they are toilet trained (apart from the cost of nappies!) as long as they're sorted before school starts - apparently its not unusual for kids to turn up at school with not a clue and the teachers aren't allowed to help them even if they did have the time to do so.
