The Summer My Size Potty Train & Transition is a 2-in-1 system for fast and effective potty training. This potty looks and feels just like an adult toilet, helping little ones feel more confident when they’re ready for potty training. The removable toilet topper can be placed on an adult toilet to help little ones ditch the diapers.

To help motivate your child to use the potty, let them participate in the selection of their potty seat. “This is a nice and easy way to engage your child in the process of taking over care of their own poop and pee to achieve ‘toilet mastery,’” explains Arthur Lavin, MD, FAAP, a pediatrician at Akron Children's Hospital in Ohio. In addition to your child’s readiness, the two most important things to consider is the type of potty training chair you need and how easy it is to clean. If your family spends much time traveling, you’ll want a portable option to take with you. Also, consider extra features like flushing sounds, music, and lights to encourage kids to use the potty seat.Despite its few flaws, we think the SkipHop 3-in-1 Potty Training Seat is worth it. Between its versatile and travel-friendly design, the convenience of the potty makes it an excellent option for busy families. Cleaning the potty chair was a breeze thanks to the removable inner potty. Simply lift it out, empty it, and wipe or rinse clean. The overall value of the BabyBjörn Smart Potty earned another ideal score because it isn’t too costly for families on a budget, and you don’t have to sacrifice its small size, sturdy stability, and adorable bear design. Above all, it holds up well to daily use by a toddler and is a solid choice for anyone starting the potty training transition. Our editors and their kiddos tested 22 potty chairs and seats in the comfort of their home, assessing each on several attributes, such as stability, ease of cleaning, design, and overall value. We also consulted with Arthur Lavin, MD, FAAP, a pediatrician at Akron Children's Hospital in Ohio, for guidance on toilet training for both kiddos and parents/caregivers.

If you’re looking for an option for beginners, the Beaba training potty is a great place to start. It passed with flying colors in the stability and ease-of-cleaning tests. We like that the potty sits flush with the ground and feels stable thanks to anti-slip material on the bottom. It's also lightweight, so you can move it around easily if you want to, but it stays in place otherwise. The ergonomic design of the potty provides a comfy spot for tiny behinds to sit down on, while rounded corners and edges make cleanup simple. The center of the potty is removable, so it's easy to clean without carrying the entire potty to the sink or toilet. to 4.7 stars: These potty chairs are excellent—they might have minor flaws, but we still recommend them. The Summer Infant My Travel Potty Deluxe works in two ways: Potty chair and potty ring (a.k.a. toilet insert or trainer). We find the the potty is stable when used on a flat surface as a potty chair. The legs of the potty extend out and snap into place, so you know it's ready to go, but It is less stable when placed on top of an existing toilet seat. We'd be wary of using it for that purpose without careful adult supervision. For a budget-friendly potty that doesn’t sacrifice functionality and convenience, the Skip Hop Multi-Stage Potty Seat is an ideal choice. Throughout testing, we like how Its low-profile design allows little ones to sit unassisted without tipping over. The small, lightweight potty chair is great for travel or as a space-saving option at home, mainly thanks to the nesting design for ultimate portability.Fun flush sounds reward a job well done. Simply push the handle to hear a short flush sound followed by a child giggling. This realistic detail encourages good bathroom practices and helps to make potty training more rewarding for your big kid. Since it doesn't have any extras like a step ladder or handle bars on the side for stability, it's important to always have an adult there when your child is using this seat. Unless you also get a step stool, they'll definitely need help getting up and down from the potty and may want you to offer support to make sure they do not fall off the toilet. our tester said. We think this seat is best for larger potty users who aren't quite ready for the standard toilet seat. While the BabyBjörn Smart Potty earned our top spot, the Munchkin Arm & Hammer 3-in-1 Potty was close behind with its high performance in all testing categories. It not only functions as a potty chair, but also features a removable trainer seat to place on a full-size toilet. Plus, it doubles as a sturdy step stool to reach the big toilet seat or make washing hands easier. Despite not having anti-slip material on the bottom of the potty, we had zero issues with stability thanks to the potty chair’s wide base and easy-to-grip handle. We like that the removable bowl makes for easy cleaning, and the contoured design of the bowl prevents any dirt or other germs from hiding in unwanted places. Once you’ve washed it with soap and water, liquid simply pours out of the side spout for mess-free cleaning. Not only is this a versatile potty chair by its own design, but we also think it's versatile for both potty training beginners and advanced kiddos. When it comes to stability and design, we introduced our littles to the potty chairs and seats and recorded their initial reactions. We wanted to know if they were immediately interested in their chair or seat and if the chair or seat provided a comfortable fit for the kiddos. We focused on the stability of the chair/seat and if the material slid around on specific flooring. We also noted any “bells and whistles” and whether they were appealing to the child or functional for potty training and future use.

All in all it is a well-thought-out piece of gear. You technically get two potties for the price of one, thanks to the 2-in-1 design, and it’s super portable for families who are always on the go.

The toilet insert is lightweight, so children can put it on or take it off the toilet without any help, thanks to the seat’s built-in handle that doubles as a storage hook. Another design plus? The sleek, white insert blends well with bathroom decor. You (or your potty training toddler) needs to remember to remove the toilet insert for an adult to use the toilet, which can be a bit of an inconvenience. Otherwise, the toilet trainer felt comfortable for our tiny testers to sit on. In addition to the great design that won over both kids and parents, it's easy to clean since the seat goes directly on the full-sized toilet (however, that does mean it needs to be taken off the toilet and stored somewhere when adults need to use the bathroom). You can't test a potty chair without also documenting how easy it is to clean, so that's exactly what we did after our kids used the potty chairs and seats. We also made notes on the effectiveness of the splash guards and whether the potty seat was easy to empty and clean. For potty chairs and seats that required disposable bags, we paid attention to whether it was easy to remove without making a mess. Potty training can be messy business so, naturally, chairs and seats that were easy and uncomplicated to clean naturally scored higher than those that weren't.
