Potty Chairs

Potty training can be a long drawn out process. You may think, once you start, that you will be done with the endless round of diapers overnight. Unfortunately this is not the case. Children often resist potty training because it makes them feel insecure, you have to deal with this insecurity when you are trying to get them to use the potty. Just have patience and think ahead to the time when they will be diaper free and toilet trained. Many parents make their child’s transition from the potty to the toilet by using a potty chair.

Once your child is potty trained the next step is to get them used to the big toilet. This can be a difficult process as many toddlers are afraid of being sucked down into the hole below. This is where the potty chair comes in. Potty chairs or potty seats fit over the toilet so that your baby does not fall in or feel that he or she is falling in. The potty chair should be as comfortable as possible and might be designed to appeal to a small child. There are for example, musical potty chairs, some of these will play a nursery rhyme or other favorite tune when the child goes to the toilet – the antique potty chair had none of these niceties and was just plain and functional.

The dora the explorer potty chairs are good because they are designed in such a way that they can be used for a chair once potty training is long over. The dora the explorer range of chairs also includes a wooden potty chair. Many mothers don’t like to break the flow of toilet training and so they will have a travel potty chair that they can take with them when they travel. When potty training a child should always be supervised by an adult – potty chairs can sometimes slip and you should be there to avert an accident.

There are plenty of potty chairs to choose from so it should be easy to find one that suits both your budget and your child’s needs. The baby bjorn chair comes in a variety of different styles and so there is bound to be something that will fit. If you have a little girl then you might want to consider something other than the usual pink potty chair. A potty chair with a tray is probably not a good idea as the tray has to be lifted before the chair can be used.
