Picking your child's potty chair is an important
decision and part of the potty training process. Learn more about the different
types of chairs and how to pick the one that's right for your child.
It’s no wonder why today’s parents are confused when it
comes to potty training their children. If you simply take one trip down
the baby aisle of your local store you will see potty chairs in every
variety imaginable and at every price as well! There are miniature
toilets that sit on the floor, padded potty chairs, potty seats that
actually play music, and even potty chairs that attach to the toilet.
This can make it nearly impossible to pick the right one for you, so
which one is right for your child? Let's compare the most common types
of potty training chairs which include:
Basic Potty Chair
The basic potty chairs are usual made of one piece of
plastic and are designed to sit on the floor. It can be cleaned easily
by dumping the contents into the toilet and rinsing the bottom which is
convenient. Basic potty chairs are relatively cheap as well so it's
easier to keep one in several rooms of the house. It’s not fancy but it
does its job.
Fancy Potty Chair
Potty training is supposed to be fun and exciting for your child. That
is why you should choose a potty chair that will appeal to your child
and encourage him or her to use it. Fancy potty chairs come in all sorts
of styles and prices. Simple potty chairs, such as the Tinkle Toonz
musical potty, uses positive reinforcement by playing a song when the
child goes. The Tinkle Toonz is an effective potty training aid and
costs less than $15 dollars as well. Other potty chairs, like the TotCo'
Toilet Training Potty Chair, look like mini toilets and even make real
flushing sounds.
Toilet Hole Reducer
The toilet hole reducer does exactly what it sounds like it does. What
it does is that it lowers the size of the toilet hole so that your child
feels safe and secure when they are sitting on the adult toilet.
Children, who learn to use the separate individual potty chair, are
often afraid to transition to the adult toilet. That is why the toilet
reducer is the best option here because it will help your child sit
comfortable on the adult toilet, without the fear of falling in.
Many parents skip the individual potty chair that sits
on the floor and start with a toilet hole reducer, such as the
Flip-N-Flush or Primo's Ducka. Just be sure and place a stool near the
toilet so your child can put both feet on a flat surface and balance
themselves properly. The best part about this is that you need not do
any special cleaning.
All-In-One Potty Chair
Some potty chairs, such as the Freedom Potty, can be
used as a potty chair that sits on the floor, then when your child is
ready to transition to the toilet, the seat can be modified to act as a
toilet hole reducer with a foot stool. It is like the basic potty chair
with benefits as each part is easily detachable. It can be cleaned by
dumping the contents into the toilet and rinsing the bottom.
