Product Information

When finished your child simply lifts the handles and the seat transforms for easy storage next to the toilet. The seat-style BabyBjörn Potty Chair doesn’t come cheap, but Mumsnetters – and parents all over – swear by it. It doesn’t have any bells or whistles, but it's simply designed to do one job well, which we like. It was among the first heavy-duty potties on the market and has been much-copied since – and it’s not hard to see why.

Due to its larger size, it's slightly more expensive than our best overall (also from BabyBjörn), but isn't near the top of the price range for these products. Potty training age is usually being the ages of two and two-and-a-half, but will depend entirely on your child. Indeed, many parents don’t even think about potty training until nearer their child’s third birthday, while other children are completely dry before age two. What to look for when choosing a potty The best potty is ultimately one that your toddler is happy to use, but there are a whole host of potties that come highly recommended by parents. One training potty that both What to Expect staff and community members rave about is the Summer My Size Potty Pro. Because this training seat looks so much like a real toilet, parents say their tots actually got excited to use it. It makes potty training convenient for your child by providing a comfortable seat that’s their size and even a realistic flushing sound as a reward for using the potty.Since it doesn't have any extras like a step ladder or handle bars on the side for stability, it's important to always have an adult there when your child is using this seat. Unless you also get a step stool, they'll definitely need help getting up and down from the potty and may want you to offer support to make sure they do not fall off the toilet. our tester said. We think this seat is best for larger potty users who aren't quite ready for the standard toilet seat. As well as thinking about which type of potty will suit your toddler best (see below), it’s worth considering size and where it’s going to live. If you have a tiny bathroom, for example, something that can be hung on the wall or sit neatly in the corner might be a good idea. Think, too, about how long you want to use it for. If you’re aiming to use the potty as a short step to a toilet training seat, something small and budget-friendly will suffice. But if you think the potty might be a longer-term prospect, or if your toddler is on the taller side, consider a sturdy potty with plenty of height so that their knees aren’t round their ears when using the loo.

Avoid the messy 'potty-on-the-floor' stage and teach your child how to use a grown-ups toilet from the beginning.At my first baby shower, I was given a potty training seat by my older cousin, who was wise in the ways of toddlerhood. “You won’t know you need it until you need it,” she told me. I was perplexed by the tiny toilet at the time, but once my oldest started showing signs he was ready to start potty training, my cousin’s gift was already set up, ready and waiting. The potty training toilet was a staple in our bathroom for nearly two years at that point, so my toddler felt super comfortable approaching it. Now, a potty training seat is my go-to baby shower gift — having the right one on hand when it’s time to potty train just makes everything easier.
