But the flip down seat is definitely easier for my small almost 3 year old to climb onto than the kind that sits on top. </p> <p>@Portboston: I wouldn’t beat yourself up about using the little potty. I feel lucky I didn’t have to because my kids didn’t resist too much. Some kids do resist so you do what you have to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-from-the-little-potty-to-the-regular-toilet#post-2852369 Sat, 20 Oct 2018 16:57:57 +0000 Dahlia 2852369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We brought her little potty to school for the first few days, then phased it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-from-the-little-potty-to-the-regular-toilet#post-2852321 Sat, 20 Oct 2018 09:05:54 +0000 magnolia 2852321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was like this also. We used gummies bears, even if he would just sit on it for a few seconds. I gave him a few, and eventually he worked up to more and more tolerance. Now he uses it fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-from-the-little-potty-to-the-regular-toilet#post-2852276 Fri, 19 Oct 2018 17:05:18 +0000 Portboston 2852276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: @peaches1038:<br /> I actually just got him to sit in it while letting him play with my phone! Ah the power of electronics. I’m keeping him home from school two days next week to have a long weekend and work on it. Fingers crossed!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-from-the-little-potty-to-the-regular-toilet#post-2852273 Fri, 19 Oct 2018 17:00:46 +0000 peaches1038 2852273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use this toilet seat and DS is way more into it than one that sits on top. DS was really scared of the ones that sit on top bc it was wobbly and he thought he was going to fall in. Can you bring a small potty to school? We did that for about a month and it really helped.<br /> Mayfair NextStep Slow Close Toilet Seat with Built-in Removable Child Potty Training Insert, Round, White, 83SLOWA 000/883SLOWA 000 <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EPET9RC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_OnLYBbG7JS991" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EPET9RC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_OnLYBbG7JS991</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-from-the-little-potty-to-the-regular-toilet#post-2852272 Fri, 19 Oct 2018 16:54:30 +0000 Mrsbells 2852272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: ah ok... My son will sit on it but wont go in it lol. Have you tried bribing him with something he likes to get him to atleast sit on it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-from-the-little-potty-to-the-regular-toilet#post-2852269 Fri, 19 Oct 2018 16:46:57 +0000 Portboston 2852269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: @Mrsbells: we do have one of those and he won’t sit on it. I wish we would have never started with the little potty but he was so resistant for so long, we were desperate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-from-the-little-potty-to-the-regular-toilet#post-2852263 Fri, 19 Oct 2018 16:13:36 +0000 Mrsbells 2852263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: I agree with the seat that goes over the toilet. We start with that directly and never do a little potty. Not all the seats are the same' it's worth investing in a good brand like Babybjorn </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-from-the-little-potty-to-the-regular-toilet#post-2852260 Fri, 19 Oct 2018 15:58:26 +0000 erinbaderin 2852260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have one of those seats that goes on the regular toilet seat? That might get him used to sitting on the big toilet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-from-the-little-potty-to-the-regular-toilet#post-2852256 Fri, 19 Oct 2018 15:13:30 +0000 Portboston 2852256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in the process of potty training my 3 year old son (3 years and 3 months). Last weekend we did 2.5 mostly naked days and it went great. He only had two misses. Come Monday he had to go to school &amp; they do not have a little potty there. He refuses to go in the regular toilet so I put him back in diapers at school because I don’t want him to get traumatized. So he’s in diapers at school and underwear at home (except at night but he is waking up dry!) which is working fine but I’d like to get him using the regular toilet so he eventually wear underwear at school. Any tips to encourage it? We’re already bribing with m&amp;ms as well as toys &amp; phone time. Nothing has worked yet. </p>
