The main equipment needed in potty training is a potty chair that can fit an adult-sized toilet. Potty chairs will guide the child where he must go during toilet training.
Potty chairs are available in different prices ranging from $12 to $100 depending on the style and model. In selecting potty chairs, choose the one that fits your budget and choices. The potty chair should also match the child’s preferences though children are seldom interested in the colour, style, or size of the chair. Having two potty chairs in two-level houses will make the training easier. Have one potty chain permanently set up in the upstairs bathroom while the other can be a moveable potty chair which can be transported from room to room as necessary.
Commonly, potty chairs have four parts namely, the base, the bowl, the seat, and the lid, which can be broken down into components. Removable seats which can be attached to adult-size toilets are advantageous over fixed seats because it will prevent the child from falling and it is portable so it can be carried outside. Potty chairs with separable components make cleaning an easier task.
There are plenty of potty chairs available depending on styles, model, and features. The basic potty chair looks like a wooden chair with a movable toilet and two side pockets to hold things but the most commonly available potty chairs in the market are moulded plastic types which are easy to clean. There are musical potties with integrated sound devices that play music or make animal sounds. Other features of potty chairs include arms and backrest, or removable splashguards.
