I also agree 1000% on never say never. You just don't know until you've BTDT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-831818 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 04:53:45 +0000 Dandelion 831818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen that a lot of time and I always think it's over the top. I trained just fine, and I didn't even have a computer when I was 2!</p> <p>Seems just frivolous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-831757 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 00:54:10 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 831757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: I'm right there with ya! My kids not getting an iPad...let alone an iPad attached to his potty!<br /> I think this is just detrimental </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-831088 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 18:08:52 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 831088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: So true -- I do all kinds of things in desperation now that I never imagined before. I can already see myself adding to an Amazon order when I'm at my wits-end. At the moment, though, it just makes me laugh. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829909 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 12:25:58 +0000 MrsBrewer 829909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I was thinking the same thing!!!!!!! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829908 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 12:25:52 +0000 mrsjyw 829908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: exactly what i was thinking LOL.</p> <p>i would never buy this product.<br /> i would however use our phone/youtube/ipad as a distraction during training </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829896 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 12:22:49 +0000 Ra 829896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I may have to buy this for my husband. Do they make grown-up versions?! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829832 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 12:09:52 +0000 chopsuey 829832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my DD watch lots of youtube our first day of potty training. Thankfully it only took one day for her to be trained! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829814 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 12:07:33 +0000 MsMini 829814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it is kind of unsanitary! I would have to lysol wipe the heck out of that ipad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829799 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 12:05:11 +0000 MsLipGloss 829799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: That is exactly the reason I don't like to say never - you gotta go (hahaha - pun intended!) with what works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829786 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 12:01:14 +0000 tororojo 829786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes! Bad idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829777 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:59:20 +0000 Andrea 829777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, that product is ridiculous but I have potty trained and yes, I did let her watch iPad videos during training. Lots of kids have phobias about pooping in the toilet (pee might be fine). So in order to have her feel more comfortable, she watched the iPad until she felt at ease pooping on the potty. This lasted a few weeks. So maybe you would be surprised at what you would let your kid do in order to avoid constipation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829434 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:56:27 +0000 Alivoo01 829434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. No comment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829399 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:47:14 +0000 mediagirl 829399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's ridiculous. First, I'm not a fan of the iPad so that's not helping here. Second, I'm not a fan of a lot of screen time. Doesn't this just scream "Watch as much as you want, kid!" to anyone else? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829326 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:30:45 +0000 Mrsbells 829326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tricycle: I dont like it! we are kind of potty training and LO sits on the toilet and I just give her a toy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829318 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:29:17 +0000 MamaMoose 829318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Hahahaha, fine fine, you win on that point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829302 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:24:34 +0000 MsLipGloss 829302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Lol, yeah, I hear ya . . . but imagine if they said the same thing about calculators . . .Einstein didn't need one, and we still have the theory of relativity. ;) ( An extreme example, fo sho!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829275 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:18:37 +0000 swurlygurl 829275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha, I find it hilarious. I don't think I would use it, but I also haven't gone through potty training, so I don't have the slightest idea what parents have to put up with yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829261 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:15:24 +0000 MamaMoose 829261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously?! Who comes up with this stuff?</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: I agree in theory on the never say never. I've certainly done things I never thought I would. But, with something like this where I can say that pretty much every child in the world who was born before this invention was successfully potty trained without it I just can't get on board. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829254 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:13:40 +0000 stargal 829254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>crazy! they would want to be on the potty all the time just to play. my kid is not getting an ipad or ipotty. guess im a mean mom ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829246 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:11:17 +0000 MsLipGloss 829246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tricycle: My first reaction is very similar . . . *huh?* BUT, in my nine months as a parent, I have learned at this point to never say never . . . whatever works! So, if this were the only option left to try I would consider it . . . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829238 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:09:42 +0000 MrsTiz 829238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate this and I hate that people consider this to be okay, ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829230 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:06:56 +0000 aprk 829230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's awful in more ways than one </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really#post-829168 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 09:54:02 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 829168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not at this stage yet, but really? Am I the only one that thinks it's overkill? (it's called the "iPotty")</p> <p>[attach=2158/13/mnviq3.600x590.81tFR7ktW9L._SL1500_.jpg] </p>
