Potty Chairs to Fit your Needs

Let's just start with the basics. This wooden model is probably the same "Old School" version where many of today's parents learned to tinkle and poo. It has a removable bowl and... well — that's about it. Two side pockets update it a bit and can hold books, toilet paper or small toys. It looks like a chair, so it's great for children who might have a fear of sitting on the big porcelain toilet.

If you or your child are the MacGyver types, then you'll want a chair with some versatility. This potty can be used on its own, but then the lid can be removed and placed on the big toilet when your child is ready. After it has run its course for potty training, it can be used as a step stool. It comes with a training guide, but come on now — MacGyver didn't needed no stinkin' training guide, right?

If minimalist describes you, your child or your decor, this seat will fit your needs. It's sleek, simple and white, plus it's soft for your child's comfort. It fits on the big toilet and can be adjusted to fit a variety of toilet sizes and shapes so there's no scary slipping and sliding.

If your child is a realist, give this seat a whirl. When the handle is used it makes a real flushing sound and it has a dispenser that holds a full-sized roll of toilet paper. The toilet lid and seat function just like the adult version.

The Boon Potty Bench is the perfect combination of utility and aesthetics. It's white and bright green with a low profile. It's equipped with a soft removable shield for boys and has two compartments that store wipes, toilet paper, books and anything else your child might need during potty time. it has non-slip grips on the bottom and can be used as a bench (for parents during bathtime for example) or a step stool for kids.

This chair is great for parents and children who are fans of personalization and technology. There are stickers your child can use to decorate and the lid is actually a frame that can hold pictures or artwork. In addition, you can record your own or your child's voice message to be played with every flush.

This potty chair is fit for a king — or the toddler that acts like one. It looks like a real throne, with dark tones and crown decoration on the back. There's even a spot for a picture so that no one will be confused about who rules this potty kingdom.

The counterpart to the previously mentioned chair, it's done in royal pink and purple tones and also has space for a picture of your pampered princess or queen.

For the potty trainee who is always on the go, this seat will allow him to be "on the pot" whenever necessary. It's small, inflatable and portable and uses disposable inserts to keep sanitary. If you don't want to buy the inserts, you can use regular eight-gallon trash bags. It's also inexpensive enough to keep one in each car you might own.
