I would love for someone to be able to use them.
We will be working with our 21 month old soon on potty training & are looking at potty chairs. There's so much more out there now than when our teenagers were this age! How do you decide?! Which ones do you like best?
We will have the toilet lids that have a potty seat built in, but to begin with we will start out with 2 potty chairs placed strategically in our home that is a long 80' in length, so it's not feasible to always make it to a toilet in time. We want something fun, girly is fine as she loves girly stuff, & of course something easy to clean that isn't very expensive. She doesn't really have a character she loves, but she recognizes Blue from Blue's Clues & the characters in Bear in the Big Blue House, Little Einsteins, & Winnie the Pooh. Help a mama out!
My one year old daughter is starting to potty train. She is about 3 feet tall. Her potty chair is from ikea and it isn't the bigger of the two they sale. Any recommendations on a potty chair? She pooped in the potty today
Hi! I am just wondering other parent’s favorite potty stools/chairs for children under a year? My dude is 6 months and sits unassisted and had started pooping very regularly in the mornings. I want to try to sit him on a potty at that time instead of using diapers. I see that babybjorn has a potty with a backrest and one without a backrest. Any favorites or tips from those with experience? Thanks!
My girl is 27mo. We're a week in with the Oh Crap method and she is doing awesome! She has a potty chair and we have a potty seat for the toilet. She occasionally uses the potty seat, but mostly the little potty. She generally gives us a good bit of warning that she has to go, like enough time to decide that she wants to move the potty into the kitchen instead of the living room to pee in.
I want her to get more used to using the potty seat and a regular toilet seat (what her preschool will have her on and what we'll have to use when out). Has anyone had experience with phasing out the potty? She gets VERY attached to things, so I'm trying to ride the line between her liking it and using it and being able to use other toilets as well. I'm thinking to emphasize it once we start wearing underwear soon. Like "big girls who wear underwear use the big potty." She is super excited about underwear.
Any advice?
We bought one of those little potty chairs and granted we haven't been consistent with it, but today during our potty hour (trying to work on this for an hourish a day then move up) I got out the travel toilet seat and put that on our toilet and asked her to try. We didn't get a sucessful potty but she showed so much more interest in trying than she has the couple times weve tried with the potty chair.
Anyone else skip to just using the toilet? Is this a good idea? Any other tips? Right now we are just trying to spend an hour a day then move up. Kinda hoping to get major progress in the next two weeks. 3 day method seemed stressful so we are trying this for now.
Today my 2yo peed in his potty chair for the first time, of course I got really excited and praised him like crazy. Now, the only thing he wants to do is be naked, and he won't hold his bladder at all, he's letting out every drop as it comes. He's been waking up dry from naps for 2-3 months now, so I know he can hold it just fine. I think he just wants the praise, or the treats, he gets for going pee where he's supposed to.
I can't leave the potty chair out if he's going to pee that frequently, because he will stick his hands in it and play with it. I'm also very frustrated because when I put his potty chair away to do other things, he escaped his onesie and pooped on our living room rug.
Please, what did I do wrong, and how do I fix it?
How and when did this happen for you? My 2.5 year old son has been potty trained for about 6 months now. The potty chair has become so convenient because my son can be very independent with it - he will stop whatever he’s doing and go into the bathroom to use the potty by himself. However, cleaning the potty chamber regularly is not very fun for me and I’m wondering how and when you transition to the big toilet. I guess I’m dreading having to go in with him every single time to help him get up on the toilet seat. Is it normal to let my son continue to use the potty chair or should he have started on the toilet already?
This is so dumb, but does anyone have any recommendations for a potty chair for boys with an actual functioning splash guard that keeps little boy pee from going everywhere? We have one potty that's kind of okay but not great, and then some Elmo atrocity handed down from my daughter where I might as well just let him pee on the floor directly.
I am looking for a freestanding potty, not the kind you put on top of the toilet. I'm not trying to teach him to pee standing up yet, because my instinct is that this is too much power for a 2 year old to wield. (Although, I am sort of fascinated that some people train that way, and if you want to tell me about it or make an argument for it, I would enjoy hearing about it.) He's also using it pretty well sitting, and I don't want to confuse him.
Thank you!
Anyone else have this happen? I was kinda surprised considering that cleaning SHOULD NOT trigger the fitness skill last time I checked..
My little boy (15 months old) tells us when he needs a diaper. He poops or pees and walks around saying "Diaper-D...Diaper-D" over and over until we change him.
Last night around 9:30pm he was playing upstairs in his bedroom for a few mins and we were downstairs. All of a sudden we hear "DIAPER-D!!!" from the top of the stairs and an ENTIRE SLEEVE (1/2 a box) of diapers comes crashing down the stairs. Followed by a package of wipes. Then he comes sliding down the stairs on his belly (he's been navigating the stairs himself without gates since 13 months old) dragged the diapers over and brought them to us. He had pooped and needed a change. Time to get a potty chair?
Our twin boys are almost two and definitely aware of what the potty is for. Wondering if we need two potty chairs or one? They fight over everything so I can see that being an issue. What are good ways to start? I have one that would not mind being naked all day. How do I keep diaper on him in betwern sitting on potty?
I am doing a post apocolyptic build and have found everything I need except this. Those nice cutesy potty chairs stick out like a sore thumb. I found one on MTS that's a TS3 castaways conversion but I can't seem to find anything else more apocalyptic looking. I would love something that is just a bucket since that is what my big toilet is. lol Has anyone came across something like this? Or general grungy type toddler things?
I started potty training and wasn't expecting my current problem. He only pees when in a squat, thus won't pee on the potty chair.
He'll be in a squat and start to pee on the floor. I quickly set him on the potty chair. It's a matter of seconds. But on the chair he stops peeing.
He doesn't mind being on the chair, he'll sit and read or whatever for a half hour. But it's like he only knows to pee in his squat position, so when seated in a chair he just stops and holds.
I feel like once we get our first success in the potty chair that it may start to "click" for him. But I'm not sure how to get this first pee!
Any advice?
I've never done this before, but I feel like this is as good as anytime to start. Whats the sticker system that I see so much about?
Do I let him lead the charge on this one or do I have to be assertive during this whole process?
My 3yo peed in the closet multiple times because his old potty chairs were on the floor of the closet. We have carpet and I'm not sure how long he's been peeing in there.
