Bottom Line
Reviewers say the Baby Bjorn Toilet Trainer is an ideal "next step" in the potty-training process for kids who are too big for potty chairs and too small for adult toilets. The seat adjusts to fit most toilets, and parents say it's stable and easy to clean, too. Some say the splashguard doesn't do a good job of containing boys' messes, though. A few parents report that their boys required stitches after getting caught on the splashguard when they tried to get off the seat too quickly.
Ease Of Use
Not ideal for boys. Reviewers say the Baby Bjorn Toilet Trainer is easy to adjust using a dial on the bottom of the seat. The hard plastic is easy to clean, but urine sometimes still gets caught under the seat, parents say. The seat has an integrated splashguard, but some note that it's too low to contain boys' messes. Most owners say their children were able to place and use the seat on their own with the aid of a stepstool and a bit of practice. However, a few say their boys were injured when they got caught on the splashguard while trying to get off the seat, requiring stitches.
Lifestyle Features
Space-saving design. The Baby Bjorn Toilet Trainer has an integrated handle that reviewers say makes it a snap to carry or hang, saving space. A rubber ring keeps the seat stable once it's properly adjusted -- important for kids to feel comfortable, parents note. The seat is available in white with a red, blue or black rim. It is made from recyclable plastic that also has no PVC, BPA, phthalates, cadmium, lead, bromine or chlorine, according to Baby Bjorn.
