How To Choose A Good Potty Chair
Susanne Myers
Your child is starting to show some interest in potty training
and is at the right age. So you race to the store to get your
little one a potty. If you’re like me, you didn’t realize how
many options there are these days when it comes to potty
chairs. You will find little potties that sit on the floor,
inserts for a regular toilet, character-based potty chairs and
even models that come with sound and light effects. Which one
will be right for your child?
Narrow down your search by deciding if you would like to go
with a portable model that can sit on the floor, or a potty
seat insert that will sit on top of your regular toilet. Using
one of the inserts will make cleanup a snap since all you have
to do is flush and occasionally wipe the seat. Some kids seem
to be afraid to “go” in a regular toilet at first though. Since
these toilet inserts are rather inexpensive, this may be a good
start for you just to try it out. After your child gets used to
potty training, she will start using the insert. Plus this model
is very portable. You can take it with you when you go visit
grandma.
If you suspect your child may be scared of the “big potty”,
start with a simple and inexpensive plastic potty that you can
sit in the bathroom. Look for a model with a stable base and a
little spatter guard in the front.
If your child is a big fan of a particular character like Dora
The Explorer ™ or Elmo ™, you may want to purchase a potty
chair with a sticker of her favorite. Of course you could also
adorn any basic potty with a few stickers. This will make it a
lot easier to convince a stubborn toddler to give potty
training a try. Just tell her Dora send the chair and said it
was time to get out of diapers.
If you have a few days or even weeks to choose a potty chair,
shop around. You can find some great sales on potty chairs both
at your local department and discount stores and of course
online. Shopping around can make a huge difference if you (or
your child) have your heart set on a more expensive model.
Now put that potty chair to good use and start getting your
child potty trained.
