Toddler Potty Chairs can be an essential part of toilet training your child. The
toddler potty chairs main function is to help your child to grow accustomed to sitting on the toilet. Pediatricians and other experts in child development recommend the use of a
toddler potty chair as an aid in
toilet training. Basic models fit on top of a standard toilet seat, giving your
toddler a place to sit that is small enough for their small body. Waste products go directly into the toilet bowl for flushing.
However, if you are going to buy this type of seat then you are going to want to
buy a step stool so that your child will be able to reach the toilet
easily. At the same time, many of today’s popular models are designed to be freestanding units that rest firmly on the floor instead of on top of the toilet seat. This design provides security and stability for your child.
With these freestanding chair's your child will feel like a big kid because he
or she will not need your help when going to the restroom. Many of these freestanding
chair's include anatomical features such as splash guards that help minimize messes. And when your
child uses the potty chair for the first time you’ll be surprised at how convenience features like a removable waste receptacle will help make cleanup faster and easier.
Although cleaning up may be a hassle it will pay off in the long run because
your child will be trained and you will not have to worry about it anymore.
If you have a two or more story house it is in your best interest to buy more
than one potty chair. It is a hassle to have to run downstairs or upstairs
when your child has to go to the bathroom, especially when it is an
emergency. Every parent knows that when a child begins toilet training he
or she can not hold it for very long, therefore, it is very important to have a
chair nearby at all times. If you have a son it is also important that the
chair you purchase come with a removable splashguard. It will make cleaning
up much easier and will save you lots of frustration.
Chairs are also available in a variety of colors and styles, including themed designs that feature Dora the Explorer, Blue’s Clues, SpongeBob, and many more of your child’s favorite television and movie characters. Character themes can help make the potty more appealing to your
child and may increase their desire to use it. The characters can also remind your child of their favorite book; reading a book to your toddler while they sit on the
toilet can become a helpful pastime for both parent and child.
A couple of tips to follow while toilet training your child are first, ask
your child to let you know when their diaper is wet or soiled and second, buy a
chair that you child can practice sitting on first with their clothes on, then
with a diaper and then eventually bare-bottom. That way they will be
comfortable with it and the transition will not be as difficult.
