I could use some potty advice. DD is 18 months and I would like for her to have a potty in the bathroom. I have no intention of this becoming a pressure thing for her, but I would like it to be available for her if she is interested in being out of diapers. Besides she seems to give me the "why am I stuck in diapers when you use the toilet thingy" look whenever she sees me go to the bathroom.
Any suggestions of potties that you guys liked I would greatly appreciate.

Blessings,
Divo

It is nice and small for little bums. There are no pieces to come apart so parts of the potty aren't dragged off all over the house. It is really easy to clean, store, move, take with you. There is no chance of the potty pinching little bums or of it falling over (yes this happened with my first one). I thought it was great for taking it with us wherever we went in the beginning stages of potty learning too. I loved it!

I hated my first potty that had the potty middle come out for cleaning (or leaking) and turned into a foot stool. It wouldn't stay together and all of the parts were never together.

Hi! I just let dd tell me that she wanted to use it! When she was just turning 2,she told me she wanted to try and I helped her up,but she was scared(she refused to try the little potty).So I went out and bought her the Blues Clues potty that goes on top of the seat.SHe used it right away and has never turned back! I now have the Flip and Flush,which i like alotr better.But I think to start,the Blues Clues really helped!Also,I had her in traing pants about a week and we treated them like regular underwear.As soon as she wet,we changed them,and we talked about how we "don't push in panties". Then I bought her Dora underwear and she was so excited and told me "don't push on Dora!" I think that helped alot too! Good luck!
