One training potty that both What to Expect staff and community members rave about is the Summer My Size Potty Pro. Because this training seat looks so much like a real toilet, parents say their tots actually got excited to use it. It makes potty training convenient for your child by providing a comfortable seat that’s their size and even a realistic flushing sound as a reward for using the potty.
“My daughter is the type of kid who wants to do everything mommy does, so it really helped for her to have her own little potty that looked so similar to the regular-size toilet,” says Christine Mattheis, What’s to Expect’s VP, Content. “It was very easy to use and to clean.”
And, once your child is ready to graduate to the next stage of potty training, it comes with a removable topper that can be placed right inside a regular-sized toilet. It also has a built-in compartment up top for wipes and storing other toileting accessories your kiddo might need, like books.
“It's easy to clean, has a book holder which was helpful in getting my daughter excited about the potty,” says Olivia DeLong, Senior Editor with What to Expect. “She loved filling it up with new books each day.”
One thing to note about this style of potty seat is that you’ll have to empty it after each use. That being said, many say it’s easy to clean because of the removable bowl that you dump and wipe clean or place a disposable potty bags inside.
