5.0 out of 5 stars This is our Third Potty, November 2, 2003

This review is from: Once Upon A Potty Potty Gift Box & Mini Book For Boys (Baby Product)

When my son was 20 months he started showing an interest in bathroom habits. I was convinced that he would prefer a potty with a lid to simulate the real toilet so I chose the "3-in-1 Potty Trainer Step Stool" by Especially for Baby that at the time of this review had 3.5 stars and was $12.99. "Not a bad price," I thought. I read the reviews and people had mentioned that there was no deflector. I didn't see this as an issue because I thought it wouldn't take him long to figure out how to point down. As I soon discovered, this DID become an issue. He enjoyed sitting on the potty and he knew when he had to go but he is very independent so he wouldn't let me help him. After 5 days of constant spills and discouragement he gave up on the potty.

I was still gung-ho so I decided to pick him up another potty. Still convinced we needed a lid, I got the `Potty 'n Step Stool' by Safety 1st. It had 2.5 stars and was $15.99. Again this one had a lid but it also had a deflector. But this removable deflector never stayed up and always fell into the potty. Also, the potty was too tall for my average sized son. It wasn't easy to empty or clean. I had to jiggle the lid to make it fit right but even then, urine found it's way down inside of the base where it collected for 2 days until I discovered it.

To avoid him becoming more discouraged and give up potty training altogether, I gave it one more shot and bought the `Once Upon A Potty' by Child Matters. 5 stars and $24.99. I wish I had paid attention to the reviews and bought this one sooner. He sits in it comfortably. Once he's sitting he can't miss. While he's sitting in it he scoots along the floor to get to a toy or to see the video he's been watching. He loves the story about Joshua and it's the first story he wants to read every day. It is very sturdy, lightweight and easy to clean. The only draw back to this potty is that it's a little awkward to empty because of it's shape. It's fine when I empty it but my independent little guy who insists on doing things his way might have a hard time with it when he starts trying. Still - even with this little problem I'm giving it 5 stars because it surpasses the other two by far!

I hope this helps!

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST POTTY EVER - THIRD TRY SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIRST, January 25, 2004

This is the best potty ever made. After trying two others, I finally read the reviews and bought the best one! The first one I purchased was the Musical Potty & Step Stool. My son loved it but peed straight over the top of the guard. What little liquid made it into the potty leaked all over the floor! My second purchase was the Training Rewards Soft Seat Potty & Stepstool. This one had a slightly higher guard but it folds down out of the way. This was just too fasicinating for my son and all he wanted to do was play with the guard. Back to the store AGAIN for the best potty ever made. Straight out of the box and my son was asking to go "pee-pee." He has used it three times in less than 24 hours. He sits on his new potty reading the enclosed book and we are all happy. Save yourself the trouble of buying the "fancy" potties and just buy the best! I did like the other potties feature of a step stool but I just bought a separate step stool and now all is perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Potty Ever, October 6, 2003

This review is from: Once Upon A Potty Potty Gift Box & Mini Book For Boys (Baby Product)

I was struggling to get my 2 1/2 year old boy to learn to use his potty. He would sit on his old potty all the time, but would never use it for anything other than a chair. He loved Joshua in the "Once Upon a Potty" book so I took a chance and bought the Joshua Potty (our 3rd potty). He loves it!!! He uses it all the time. He carries it with him everywhere. He literally potty trained himself as soon as I gave him the potty. I babysat another 2 1/2 year old boy and he started using it, and he was not potty trained either. I wish I had bought this potty a long time ago. It's more expensive than the usual potty, but it is well worth the extra money. Don't even bother with any others.
