Practical or fun – A jazzy or entertaining potty can add a sense of play and joy to the whole experience, so they’re ideal for toddlers who are nervous about this new phase or possibly scared of toilets. And your toddler’s “success” is rewarded with fun sounds and music, encouraging repeat performances! The handles help toddlers feel secure and it can be used on a regular toilet seat, complete with songs and sounds.

there are a few design flaws and it is one of the more expensive potties available but my daughter loves that it's like mummy's toilet and that it plays music. The only other thing that I dislike about the potty is the grooves in the bowl that catches the wees and poos. Other helpful training features include removable bowl for easy clean-up, flip-up splash guard for boys and handles on potty ring to help toddlers feel secure.There were 2 brands available and we asked our son which he wanted, the one with the toilet roll or the one with stickers. With 10 colourful designs to choose from, including a ladybird, cat, bee and penguin, My Carry Potty looks less like a potty and more like a cute travel bag, and our home testers report that most toddlers absolutely love carrying it about. Parent tester Andrea tried a number of potties with her daughter and commented, "Overall I’ll say the most effective one was the Baby Bjorn one. This nifty toddler training seat is modelled on an ordinary toilet seat so your toddler will know immediately how one works.

Although it's a few pounds more than Ikea's bargain Lilla potty, the extra features may be worth it, especially if you have boys. After failing miserably with my first son to train him till he was over 3 years old, I was sure I wanted something engaging (excuse the pun). Versatility – Some potties do more than just what it says on the tin: we have some potties on our list that convert into a step and have seats that can be detached from the potty and used on the toilet so you have more use out of it as your child's confidence grows.

Some mention that the music isn't too loud or annoying, it's fun and encouraging for a toddler, and it has the flushing sound when the handle is pulled down. With songs to learn and encouraging phrases and sounds to discover, My Potty Friends makes potty training fun! So this was a great choice for him as it looks like a real toilet and he loves that it has a handle he can flush and his very own toilet roll holder!
