How to choose the right potty : Ideally, the child chooses the potty himself, so that he does not see it as an object to be afraid of. On the other hand, it is your duty as a parent to make sure that they make the right choice and we are sure that you will be able to point your child in the right direction. The first aspect to take into consideration is the stability of the potty. The child must feel comfortable in this new seat, but at the same time firm, so that he can fully relax. The height of the potty is also an important factor. Your child must be able to sit up and stand up on it independently without the help of an adult. There are various models, from the simplest basin type, to those that simulate the toilet of adults, passing through those that are equipped with real games. Ultra-equipped or minimal, it is essential that the potty is easy to clean, so if it is not basic it must have removable components. Potty refusal : It may happen that some children show a real refusal to sit on the potty. It often happens to children with a strong temperament, or more simply to those a little lazy who prefer to play rather than waste time going to the bathroom. First of all, find out the reason why the child does not want to sit on the potty, and then nothing prevents you from suspending potty training and postponing it for a few weeks. A valid solution could be to offer the child a toilet seat reducer. An integral part of the growth process is imitation. Perhaps the idea of using a toilet reducer could stimulate him more precisely because he is used to seeing his parents or older siblings use the toilet.

Hygiene even outside the home : If your child has finally learned to control his stimuli, it is good that you are equipped even when you are away from home. There are many types of travel potties on the market: foldable, inflatable or even in recyclable cardboard. Surely you will find the one that best suits your needs. If instead we talk about public places, we all know that in the bathrooms it is best to avoid direct contact with the toilet seat, where the percentage of germs and bacteria is very high. As with the potty, there is also the travel toilet reducer, which once folded you can close in a comfortable bag. A valid and even less cumbersome alternative is the disposable toilet seat.
