Potty Training Seats
Deciding what potty training equipment to use is one of the big decisions parents face when it comes to potty training. Opinions vary on the usefulness of potty training seats.
More Like Normal Toilet Seats
A potty seat attaches to the regular seat of the toilet to give a child a more steady place to sit. This can be helpful with a child who is afraid he will fall into the toilet (or already has). They are not as obtrusive as potty chairs and easier to carry along when you take your child out.
Attractive to Kids
Potty seats are usually cushioned and come in an variety of colors and characters. If you let your child pick out her favorite potty seat, she will be more likely to want to use it.
Easy To Clean
Unlike a potty chair that has to be emptied and washed each time it's used, a potty seat can be easily cleaned and set beside the toilet for the next use. It doesn't take up much space at all.
A Few Disadvantages
First of all, the potty seat makes the toilet a little higher and harder for your child to access by himself. If your child is using a potty seat, she must have someone supervising her at all times.
Second, it's a little inconvenient for other family members. The potty seat snaps securely onto the regular seat, it can take a little effort to remove and replace it.
If your child likes her potty seat and is doing well with it, it's worth the little bit of inconvenience to help her succeed.
Potty training seats can be a very helpful tool to use as your child makes the transition from baby to childhood.
