Keys To Finding The Right Potty Training Potty

The good news is that potty training potties come in a variety of colors, themes and sizes. So finding a good potty should be fairly easy. One of the biggest advantages of using a potty chair over a regular adult toilet is that it's sized for a small child's height, weight and bottom! With a potty seat that is just the right height for the child; the transition from diapers to the big potty is much easier. Children would much rather seat in a child size toilet than one made for an adult. I can tell you from firsthand experience when my niece started to seat on the big toilet I thought she was going to fall in. I literally had to have my hand on her back so she wouldn't slide in.

Have you ever tried having a bowl movement while your feet are in the air? It's not very fun. When purchasing training potties, one of the key features for a proper bowel movement is that your feet are planted firmly on the ground. With a potty chair so close to the ground this will provide the ideal situation for the child's feet to be planted and therefore giving him the confidence he needs in order to succeed. With today's new potties they are extremely stable and provide such features as rubber feet and handles. The other important aspect of having a potty training potty is that your child is able to see what he has eliminated. Some children love to see what they produce and love to be part of the entire process such as flushing the contents into the big toilet and wanting to push the handle. If your child likes to do these things it's important that you let them partake as this only not only makes the potty training experience more enjoyable for the child but also helps to expedite the whole training experience.

When choosing a potty training potty be sure to look for features that you feel comfortable with. Such features include sturdy legs that won't skid or move when the child sits, an inner bowl that is easy to remove for cleaning, and probably the most important is that your child is comfortable when he sits down. Another feature that has been added in recent years is the potty chairs' safety straps. Additional features that can possibly help your potty training experience are cartoon characters, music boxes, movie themed potties like Disney Princess and targets for boys making it easier for them to aim. One great feature that most busy parents really appreciate is the portable training potty. This potty allows the parent to take the potty to the park, in the car, outside, to grandma's house and even on family trips. A nice thing about portable training potties is that it allows the child to use the same toilet each time he goes to the bathroom. This is extremely important while training in that any deviations for the norm have the potential to be an interruption in the entire potty training experience. The other great thing about your child using a portable training potty is that you child will get used to using the bathroom in different places. This will help prevent your child from "holding it" until he gets home. As you can see there are many options when it comes to choosing the right training potty. With a little help you'll find one in no time at all.
