Baby Bjorn Potty Chair

Best potty chair

Pros
  • Simple design
  • Removable inner potty is easy to clean
  • High back and sides
  • Made of recyclable plastic
Cons
  • Splash guard isn't removable
  • No lid

The Baby Bjorn Potty Chair is a simple, two-piece chair with a removable inner potty for easy cleaning. A high back and sides provide security and make this potty usable for training little boys standing up; it prevents splashing out over the back and sides due to poor aim. With only two pieces, reviewers say, there aren't a lot of crevices where waste can accumulate. A permanent splash guard in front works well for little boys, reviewers say, although there are some complaints that it gets in the way or causes a little girl to sit with her legs open, which isn't the most comfortable position. This potty also doesn't have a lid, which some reviewers wish it had. A plus is that it's made of recyclable plastic. If you'd rather train your little one to use the adult toilet right away, the Baby Bjorn Toilet Trainer (*Est. $26) attaches securely to the adult toilet seat and waste can simply be flushed away.

The best reviews of the Baby Bjorn Potty Chair are found on Amazon.com, where nearly 370 owners weigh in with their opinions and describe their experience using this potty under real-world conditions. More formal reviews of the Baby Bjorn Potty Chair are found on the design-oriented parenting website Ohdeedoh.com, where two separate reviews list this potty as a recommended model, although discussion of specific features is brief. A more detailed review is found on Babble.com, where Kate Bayless describes her five favorite potty chairs. Another brief review appears on BabyGizmo.com, where the Baby Bjorn is an editor's pick and is also reviewed by two parents. A full write-up of one parent's experience using the Baby Bjorn appears on The Potty Boot Camp blog, and another brief mention is found in the latest edition of the popular baby gear book "Baby Bargains."
