Advantages: really works

Disadvantages: quite expensive

When potty training our youngest daughter we first went out and bought a small traditional potty from Mothercare for around £5. After trying to train her I began to realise that she found the potty uncomfortable as it was hard and also she looked really uncomfortable when she was crouching down to go. We also tried her with a seat on the toilet which she didn't like, due to the fact it would move easily when she sat on it. We decided to go potty hunting to see what we could get.

We decided on the fisher price royal potty, we paid £25 for it on the high street but you can get it cheaper on the internet. It is Royal blue and green so unisex and is basically a chair with a back and a removable pot - this also has a raised front so if you have boys is really useful. It is also really sturdy so there is no chance of it toppling - it also has rubber feet for added grip.

It basically works by rewarding the child with music when they sit down and then an elaborate Royal tune when they go (you need 3 AA batteries for the music) my daughter she enjoyed the music, however I do think the fact that the chair was comfortable and that she could sit on there, while she was getting used to it all helped. When they are ready to progress to the normal toilet the legs can be removed and it fits to the seat - still playing the music if necessary.

£25 seems a lot to pay for a potty but we wished that we had bought this one first, the more you speak to parents the more you realise that they have had the same problems and bought a similar potty to this. £25 will soon be saved on nappies not being bought.

Summary: worth the cost , it'll save you in the long run
