Is A Potty Seat Essential For Toilet Training?
By Jill Brennan
Deciding when and how to potty train your child can be an arduous task for
parents. Especially if this is your first child. You need to work out how to go
about it, how to do it, and how to deal with any problems that might arise. As
you will soon find there are many tools that can make the potty training process
a lot smoother and one of them is a potty chair or seat.
What Is The Difference Between Using a Potty Chair vs Potty Seat?
Potty seats look and feel a lot more like the regular toilet than a potty chair.
This may be a plus in your toddler's mind, since he is using the big guy's
toilet and not a baby one. When deciding how you want to potty train, keep in
mind your toddler's personality and motivation.
Potty seats are portable, often padded, and sit on top of a normal toilet seat.
There are lots of styles to choose from and you can let your toddler choose the
design so that you know it will be something that they want to use.
Potty seats, over potty chairs, also take up much less room. If you buy a potty
chair, it will need its own spot in the bathroom. With a potty seat, the only
thing you will need is a small area to store it when it's not in use. Usually
you can fit the potty seat in your bathroom cabinet or even just on the floor
beside the toilet.
While it is more manageable for a child to handle a potty seat themselves, if
they need help with their clothing then you are probably going to need to be
near by anyway. A potty seat on top of a regular toilet also gets them used to
the idea of sitting up off the ground and can be more helpful at transitioning
your child onto using a normal toilet seat. This can be especially helpful if
you are often out in public with your child and they have to then use a regular
toilet.
Regardless of how you choose to potty train your toddler, they will - believe it
or not - be successfully trained. It may still be a while before they are
completely able to use the toilet on their own, but at least you are on your way
to one of the major goals in life.
