Baby Bjorn Potty Chair

*Est. $25 Compare Prices

Potty chairs appeal to some children because they're kid-sized and often have sound effects or lights that are appealing. They also are a good alternative for toddlers that are afraid of the adult toilet. On the downside,… expandthey take up space in the bathroom and can be a hassle to keep clean. Among potty chairs, reviewers say the Baby Bjorn Potty Chair's simple design leaves few places for bacteria and debris to collect, and they say the inner bowl is easy to remove, empty and clean. This potty has a splash guard that sits low enough so it doesn't get in the way of a toddler sitting down, yet still does its job of preventing splashes from little boys. An added plus: Many parents report that their little boys were able to successfully pee standing up in this potty because of the high sides and back. It comes in six different colors. collapse

Best potty seat

Baby Bjorn Toilet Trainer

*Est. $26 Compare Prices

Potty seats are much simpler than potty chairs and fit atop a full-sized toilet seat, introducing toddlers to the toilet right from the start. Parents like them because they don't have to dispose of waste as with a potty… expandchair. The Baby Bjorn Toilet Trainer features an adjustable mount that fits securely to nearly any adult toilet seat, eliminating sliding and shifting that can make a child think they might fall in. It is available in four color combinations and has a handle to hang it up when it's not in use. The contoured, angled seat helps children sit in the correct position, which parents say seems to be quite comfortable. The smooth plastic is easy to clean and won't absorb odors like soft seats can. collapse
