Choose The Potty That Is Right For Your Child

Chances are, when you were a child there was only one type of potty to choose from when it was time for training to start. Now, there are literally thousands of choices that you have when it comes time to provide your little one with the most important seat in the house!
Although there are many of these seats that are designed with basically the same structure, there are many colors and designs to distinguish them. Many are made from wood to make them sturdy and have a plastic container that can be easily lifted out and cleaned. Some styles are made specifically for a boy or girl while others are even more personalized.

One style of these seats even has a timer made into the back so that you can keep track of your child's potty time. Some children are better at staying still if they have a designated amount of time to stay each time they try to use the seat.

Another seat that is ideal for some little kings is made to resemble a royal throne. It has a place for a four by six inch photo in the back so your little king can truly make it his own. Once it is no longer needed as a potty, remove the container and replace with the included wooden piece for him to use as a regular seat!

Mission style potty seats are made from wood and also offer a variety of features. Heart-shaped cut outs and spindles are part of the decorations that distinguish the different styles. There are also models that have a book rack made into the sides where you can keep your child's favorite book to help the time pass more easily.

Personalized potty seats also offer individuality that matters for some children. Many models are available that you can have personalized with your child's name so that they feel a sense of belonging with their own special potty seat.

Some potty seats are made to fit on top of a regular toilet to make it easier for your child to use the same toilet that the rest of the family does. These may include steps that will help your child to step up on his/her own. You will also find those that are made to be portable so that you always have your child's own special potty seat wherever you go.

When you make the choice of the potty that you will use to teach your child how to be independent, you will be able to find the simplest and most elaborate, with every type of seat in between. Whether you get the one that is made like a school bus to please your child or the one that has all the accessories to hold wipes and books to make it easier for you, there is something to suit any need if not all of them in one. Ideally, it should be the choice that will make what is normally a trying time easier on both of you.
