I loved it so much, I bought one for my parent's house, where my son stays a lot of the time.</p> <p>It's great, it is always there and when you're done with it, it pops off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-potty-training-little-toilet-or-seat-only#post-1876007 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 16:27:41 +0000 mauxie 1876007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: ohh I never knew about these combo seats! Maybe I will order one off amazon.. My LO is trained but prefers the potty chair but I am tired of cleaning it out. Thanks for sharing!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-potty-training-little-toilet-or-seat-only#post-1870722 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 18:05:33 +0000 lemondrop 1870722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've tried a few things and while we haven't committed fully to potty training yet, we've found a really nice toilet seat at Home Depot that has a child seat built in. It is very sturdy, which was our main issue with the set on top seats- he was terrified of falling in! So with a small step stool on the side, he can climb on the seat by himself without any problems. </p> <p><a href="http://www.homedepot.com/p/BEMIS-NextStep-Elongated-Closed-Front-Toilet-Seat-in-White-1583SLOW-000/202721314" rel="nofollow">http://www.homedepot.com/p/BEMIS-NextStep-Elongated-Closed-Front-Toilet-Seat-in-White-1583SLOW-000/202721314</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-potty-training-little-toilet-or-seat-only#post-1870700 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 17:39:12 +0000 sunny 1870700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried the seat but LO was terrified of it! She won't sit on it so we got her a little potty instead. Still not potty trained though :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-potty-training-little-toilet-or-seat-only#post-1870697 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 17:34:55 +0000 MamaCate 1870697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually used neither!</p> <p>Which is to say we bought a little potty and LO sat on it repeatedly but never actually went. At school they have toddler sized potties that flush so the real potty was more appealing. She was able to balance fine without the extra seat. The step stool was enough for her to get up and down on her own. I think it depends on your kiddo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-potty-training-little-toilet-or-seat-only#post-1870662 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 16:48:21 +0000 Radish 1870662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I refuse to clean out a little potty. We got the on toilet seat when she turned one and have gotten her used to it so that when the time comes she won't be scared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-potty-training-little-toilet-or-seat-only#post-1870656 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 16:42:08 +0000 mauxie 1870656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have both. We trained around 22 months (3 day method) and mostly used the chair because it was easier. I did leave the seat type out as an option so LO could also get used to seeing/trying it but she prefers the little potty chair (Bjorn). </p> <p>When we are out in public/friends houses, she just uses the regular toilet (I just sit her on top of it towards the front and hold her steady). I didn't want to get into the habit of having to tote around a travel seat or potty chair, etc. It's worked out well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-potty-training-little-toilet-or-seat-only#post-1870614 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 15:59:26 +0000 autumnlove 1870614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both but she definitely prefers the little potty for poops. Lucky me. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-potty-training-little-toilet-or-seat-only#post-1870613 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 15:58:07 +0000 lovehoneybee 1870613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a little seat but he's not shown a ton of interest in it yet. He is very interested in watching us use the big toilet, though, so I might get a seat for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-potty-training-little-toilet-or-seat-only#post-1870603 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 15:50:38 +0000 Mrs. Bum 1870603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both. Outside playtime you can use the little potty. Emergencies you can sprint and grab it. The seat is nice too because when they are starting to better understand, it's there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-potty-training-little-toilet-or-seat-only#post-1870545 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 15:13:57 +0000 Beehive 1870545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. tictactoe: He turns 2 next month, so still quite young. I guess I wouldn't want him to fall in!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-potty-training-little-toilet-or-seat-only#post-1870520 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 14:59:50 +0000 erinpye 1870520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD prefers the little potty so she can go by herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-potty-training-little-toilet-or-seat-only#post-1870516 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 14:57:45 +0000 Boogs 1870516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually bought a new toilet seat that had a little one, but money ever spent! </p> <p><a href="http://m.homedepot.com/p/BEMIS-NextStep-Round-Closed-Front-Toilet-Seat-in-White-583SLOW-000/202721306" rel="nofollow">http://m.homedepot.com/p/BEMIS-NextStep-Round-Closed-Front-Toilet-Seat-in-White-583SLOW-000/202721306</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-potty-training-little-toilet-or-seat-only#post-1870510 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 14:55:46 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1870510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is he? We started before Liam turned 2 and he was just too little to use a seat on the big toilet. He liked the little potty and now that he's 2.5, he only uses the big toilet with a step stool and no seat on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-potty-training-little-toilet-or-seat-only#post-1870497 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 14:44:26 +0000 Worrywart 1870497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following!!</p> <p>DD turned two in July and has ZERO interest in the little potty we've had for months. I think we'll have to get a seat for the big potty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-potty-training-little-toilet-or-seat-only#post-1870489 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 14:41:36 +0000 Beehive 1870489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Which is better for potty training, the little toilet or the seat you can put on top of the big toilet (with a stepstool underneath)? I have the Oxo seat and a stepstool, but my mom is insisting that I should also have a little toilet, so DS can go on there himself and doesn't need our help to get up to the toilet.</p> <p>Has anyone used only the training seat on top of the big toilet with success? </p>
