I didn't use either, my son was terrified of the potty and my daughter went through the whole "I'm a big girl" thing. So both kids were trained straight to the toilet. A friend of mine is using a kids toilet seat not sure where she got it from though.]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2007 17:20:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6814&PID=132031&title=little-potty-chair-or-kiddie-toilet-seat#132031 <![CDATA[Little potty chair or kiddie toilet seat? : LOL @ Kobe!!

LOL @ Kobe!!

We have both. A potty is easier to take on long trips, and the kids can get onto it without needing help to climb up etc. The seat is a great transition tool, especially once they can wipe on their own and climb with the use of a stool, and it helps them feel more secure - it's a big cliff to fall into! ]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2007 17:19:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6814&PID=132030&title=little-potty-chair-or-kiddie-toilet-seat#132030 <![CDATA[Little potty chair or kiddie toilet seat? : i had an insert for gabriel but...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6814&PID=131843&title=little-potty-chair-or-kiddie-toilet-seat#131843 Author: Bizzy

i had an insert for gabriel but it freaked him out...he preferred the toilet without one and used the stool from the bathroom to get up at first but doesnt anymore. toby also climbs up on the toilet without a stool now too and it is so funny seeing this little under 2 sitting on the loo. i never had a potty cause i hate that they get carted all over the house... ]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2007 11:31:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6814&PID=131843&title=little-potty-chair-or-kiddie-toilet-seat#131843 <![CDATA[Little potty chair or kiddie toilet seat? : good question Katherine, I was...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6814&PID=131822&title=little-potty-chair-or-kiddie-toilet-seat#131822 Author: Roksana

We had a normal potty and decorated it with stickers.
We also have a toilet seat I got from pak n save for $5. It is great. The folding ones are quite useful too as you can take them with you when you go out.

Personally I don't see any point of getting a fancy one ]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2007 10:15:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6814&PID=131797&title=little-potty-chair-or-kiddie-toilet-seat#131797 <![CDATA[Little potty chair or kiddie toilet seat? : I am using a potty at the moment...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6814&PID=131739&title=little-potty-chair-or-kiddie-toilet-seat#131739 Author: SMoody

I am using a potty at the moment but looking for a nice toilet seat as well at the moment. She has used to potty but I am going to use both as she will have to use the toilet eventually plus you dont have cleaning as such to do. ]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2007 08:57:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6814&PID=131739&title=little-potty-chair-or-kiddie-toilet-seat#131739 <![CDATA[Little potty chair or kiddie toilet seat? : We use a potty for that exact...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6814&PID=131729&title=little-potty-chair-or-kiddie-toilet-seat#131729 Author: nuttymama

We use a potty for that exact reason Anna. We have it in a discrete place and abby just goes and sits on it whenever she needs to go. It has a slide out tray that we empty and can wash, and the top part looks just like a toilet.

The reason we use a potty is because Abby is only two and still thinks the toilet is a fun water play room (Yuck) so she needs to be supervised and sometimes there just isn't enough time to drop what you are doing and run to the toilet. This way she doesn't have to ask and can just go. Once she's over the whole yay water lets play we will get rid of the potty. I like your idea Bee and might follow you lead and offer a treat for the potty.

we used a seat that had a wee ladder attached so he could climb up himself. used the potty for emergencies and left one in the car too just incase but i didnt really like the potty and Kobe never had a fear of the toilet for wees or poos. He still sometimes uses his wee seat, it has handles at the sides and he puts toilet paper through it and calls it his seat belt for the toilet!]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2007 08:43:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6814&PID=131728&title=little-potty-chair-or-kiddie-toilet-seat#131728 <![CDATA[Little potty chair or kiddie toilet seat? : I asked about this in the Baby...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6814&PID=131694&title=little-potty-chair-or-kiddie-toilet-seat#131694 Author: Anna

I asked about this in the Baby factory. And despite their service being questionable (don't get me started!) the advice the gave made sense to me.

She said get a potty because when they are learning it is harder to get to the toilet, get clothes off and get up on the toilet to go. If you have a potty you can keep it somewhere close by.

We were using both for Ethan, but found the potty better for him. When he was old enuf to use the regular loo, the "potty fairy" came and took his potty away to give to another child, but left a Bob the Builder Scooter in its place. (He was esperate for a scooter..) We never heard anything about wanting to use the potty after that!]]> Mon, 16 Apr 2007 21:26:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6814&PID=131620&title=little-potty-chair-or-kiddie-toilet-seat#131620 <![CDATA[Little potty chair or kiddie toilet seat? : I just bought at the weekend a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6814&PID=131561&title=little-potty-chair-or-kiddie-toilet-seat#131561 Author: fattartsrock

I just bought at the weekend a seat to put under the toilet seat, and a regular old styles potty, and a stool. Jacob is very interested in wee wees. I guess it is personal choise. I just sit him on the loo on the seat when he comes and says wees and is pulling at his nappy (probably shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted, but he will get the idea) and before bathtime, after tea, i sit him on the potty and say you can do wee wees and poos on here. He is a bit young as well, but I am just integrating it into daily life kinda like the big bed thing in the hope he will of his own accord be keen on trying it at some stage.]]> Mon, 16 Apr 2007 19:53:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6814&PID=131561&title=little-potty-chair-or-kiddie-toilet-seat#131561 <![CDATA[Little potty chair or kiddie toilet seat? : I&#039;m not thinking about toilet...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6814&PID=131551&title=little-potty-chair-or-kiddie-toilet-seat#131551 Author: Katherine

I'm not thinking about toilet training Em yet (she's waaaaay too young) but I was wondering, do most people use little potty chairs or those kiddie toilet seats that fit on top of the big toilet? What are the pros and cons of each? How did you decide what one to get (the ones with the "wee guards" on the front, the ones that make noises when they "go", etc.)?
