Summer Infant My Size Potty | Training Potty From 18 Months | Easy Clean, Realistic Flush Potty Training| White

Product Information

Before you say goodbye to diapers forever, equip your little one with a solid potty chair or seat for the journey ahead. Some kids may begin potty training as early as 18 months, but readiness is critical for a successful journey. Whether you prefer a stand-alone potty, a toilet insert, or a combination of both, we put 22 of them through multiple tests to find the best potty chairs and seats for your child. While some travel potty chairs require you to buy disposable potty bags, we like that this one has that option (they're sold separately), but also works with regular bags. And we like that you can store extra bags under the seat. We took it to the playground every weekend while testing and it made potty breaks seamless when editors weren't in the comfort of their own home. To help motivate your child to use the potty, let them participate in the selection of their potty seat. “This is a nice and easy way to engage your child in the process of taking over care of their own poop and pee to achieve ‘toilet mastery,’” explains Arthur Lavin, MD, FAAP, a pediatrician at Akron Children's Hospital in Ohio. In addition to your child’s readiness, the two most important things to consider is the type of potty training chair you need and how easy it is to clean. If your family spends much time traveling, you’ll want a portable option to take with you. Also, consider extra features like flushing sounds, music, and lights to encourage kids to use the potty seat.

Due to its larger size, it's slightly more expensive than our best overall (also from BabyBjörn), but isn't near the top of the price range for these products.Aside from that detail, the potty’s design, ease of cleaning, and overall value were home runs. We loved how the potty folded down for easy portability and the included storage pouch made a difference as well. Throughout testing, we found this potty chair great for keeping in the trunk of a car, since it's designed for potty training on-the-go and takes up very little room. Since it doesn't have any extras like a step ladder or handle bars on the side for stability, it's important to always have an adult there when your child is using this seat. Unless you also get a step stool, they'll definitely need help getting up and down from the potty and may want you to offer support to make sure they do not fall off the toilet. our tester said. We think this seat is best for larger potty users who aren't quite ready for the standard toilet seat. This potty seat is super-simple for parents and caregivers to set up and for children to use without feeling unstable. The seat features an adjustable dial and rubber edging to provide a secure and safe fit for most toilets. Throughout our tests its stability was immediately apparent—the BabyBjörn Toilet Trainer didn’t slide or move when attached to the toilet seat. We had no concerns that it would break, slide, or otherwise show wear over time. We're pretty confident we could use this potty for a long time (maybe even with future kids) without ever worrying it was showing its age.

The soft foam potty training toilet topper can be placed on round and oval style adult toilets, helping little ones transition from My Size to real size. A handy storage hook keeps the topper stowed away when not in use. Despite a tiny hiccup in design (we wish it had handles on the side for extra stability), we loved this potty chair so much for one of our editors bought several to keep in bathrooms around their home. While this is the second-highest-priced potty chair on our list, it’s an incredible value for the fun and rewarding design. In addition to the great design that won over both kids and parents, it's easy to clean since the seat goes directly on the full-sized toilet (however, that does mean it needs to be taken off the toilet and stored somewhere when adults need to use the bathroom). While the BabyBjörn Smart Potty earned our top spot, the Munchkin Arm & Hammer 3-in-1 Potty was close behind with its high performance in all testing categories. It not only functions as a potty chair, but also features a removable trainer seat to place on a full-size toilet. Plus, it doubles as a sturdy step stool to reach the big toilet seat or make washing hands easier. Despite not having anti-slip material on the bottom of the potty, we had zero issues with stability thanks to the potty chair’s wide base and easy-to-grip handle. When it comes to stability and design, we introduced our littles to the potty chairs and seats and recorded their initial reactions. We wanted to know if they were immediately interested in their chair or seat and if the chair or seat provided a comfortable fit for the kiddos. We focused on the stability of the chair/seat and if the material slid around on specific flooring. We also noted any “bells and whistles” and whether they were appealing to the child or functional for potty training and future use.We took time setting up the potty chairs following the manufacturer’s directions. While testing each potty training chair, we paid attention to the potty chair/seat size, describing whether it took up too much space or was small enough to fit in a corner. While some potty chairs and seats didn’t take up much space, others had to be placed against a wall when not in use, like the Skyroku Potty Training Seat. You can't test a potty chair without also documenting how easy it is to clean, so that's exactly what we did after our kids used the potty chairs and seats. We also made notes on the effectiveness of the splash guards and whether the potty seat was easy to empty and clean. For potty chairs and seats that required disposable bags, we paid attention to whether it was easy to remove without making a mess. Potty training can be messy business so, naturally, chairs and seats that were easy and uncomplicated to clean naturally scored higher than those that weren't. and below: We don't recommend potty chairs with this rating; you won't find any on our list. We Also Tested Our editors and their kiddos tested 22 potty chairs and seats in the comfort of their home, assessing each on several attributes, such as stability, ease of cleaning, design, and overall value. We also consulted with Arthur Lavin, MD, FAAP, a pediatrician at Akron Children's Hospital in Ohio, for guidance on toilet training for both kiddos and parents/caregivers.

The Summer Infant My Travel Potty Deluxe works in two ways: Potty chair and potty ring (a.k.a. toilet insert or trainer). We find the the potty is stable when used on a flat surface as a potty chair. The legs of the potty extend out and snap into place, so you know it's ready to go, but It is less stable when placed on top of an existing toilet seat. We'd be wary of using it for that purpose without careful adult supervision. Fun flush sounds reward a job well done. Simply push the handle to hear a short flush sound followed by a child giggling. This realistic detail encourages good bathroom practices and helps to make potty training more rewarding for your big kid. Cleaning the potty chair was a breeze thanks to the removable inner potty. Simply lift it out, empty it, and wipe or rinse clean. The overall value of the BabyBjörn Smart Potty earned another ideal score because it isn’t too costly for families on a budget, and you don’t have to sacrifice its small size, sturdy stability, and adorable bear design. Above all, it holds up well to daily use by a toddler and is a solid choice for anyone starting the potty training transition. We like that the removable bowl makes for easy cleaning, and the contoured design of the bowl prevents any dirt or other germs from hiding in unwanted places. Once you’ve washed it with soap and water, liquid simply pours out of the side spout for mess-free cleaning. Not only is this a versatile potty chair by its own design, but we also think it's versatile for both potty training beginners and advanced kiddos.Summer Infant My Size Potty: While this potty resembles a real toilet, it slid on tile flooring easily, and the realistic flusher was a distraction for our tester. While the potty seat was easy to clean, it required additional steps, like cleaning the bowl. According to our tester, cleaning both pieces was difficult with a potty full of pee, and the button to release the seat wasn’t easy to press.

If you’re looking for an option for beginners, the Beaba training potty is a great place to start. It passed with flying colors in the stability and ease-of-cleaning tests. We like that the potty sits flush with the ground and feels stable thanks to anti-slip material on the bottom. It's also lightweight, so you can move it around easily if you want to, but it stays in place otherwise. The ergonomic design of the potty provides a comfy spot for tiny behinds to sit down on, while rounded corners and edges make cleanup simple. The center of the potty is removable, so it's easy to clean without carrying the entire potty to the sink or toilet.The Summer My Size Potty Train & Transition is a 2-in-1 system for fast and effective potty training. This potty looks and feels just like an adult toilet, helping little ones feel more confident when they’re ready for potty training. The removable toilet topper can be placed on an adult toilet to help little ones ditch the diapers. The inward-facing splash guard prevents spills outside the toilet, which is handy for potty-training boys. The lip [splash guard] also isn't as invasive as other potty seats we've tried, which either get in the way or cause my son to have to spread his legs too far apart to sit comfortably. Despite its few flaws, we think the SkipHop 3-in-1 Potty Training Seat is worth it. Between its versatile and travel-friendly design, the convenience of the potty makes it an excellent option for busy families. A removable bowl makes it easy to clean the Summer My Size Potty Train & Transition. This potty training essential is perfectly sized for tots, with an integrated splash guard for boys.
