The best seat ever - Even for boys!!!!, June 3, 2004
This review is from: TOT-Co Toilet Trainer (Baby Product)
I bought this for my son way before we had intended on potty training him, just so he would get used to having it in the bathroom and so he'd understand that it was his special potty. The minute I got it out of the box and put together he loved it and knew what it was and what it was used for (since it looks just like the one mom and dad use). He sat on it and flushed and pretended with it all day long. We put it in the bathroom and within a few months he had completely potty trained himself with very little direction from us (lots of praise tho). And I was dreading the whole potty training struggle thing!
We never used the splash guard ( a real toilet doesn't have one so why should a trainer?) we just told him to point it down. The only problem we've had, if you want to call it that, is that once our son started using it standing up, it became a real hastle to clean when his aim wasn't so good. Potty targets and bubbles fixed his aim real quick tho!
I've bought or recommended this potty to a lot of freinds and family members and all have had similar results. Yes, it works flawlessly for girls, but is still an excellent potty for boys too.
Its very sturdy (Easy to sit on, the hole is not too big or not to little, no tipping over, no wiggling parts while seated), easy to clean and since it looks like a real potty easy for the little ones to identify with. As for the splash guard issue everyone seems to have a problem with, just teach your son how to point it down, it's kinda a no-brainer. Most of the experts tell you not to use the splash guards anyway (they could injure your son and be a "bad potty training experience"). Anyway if your son can't learn to point down, he's probably not ready for potty training, just my opinion. This really is a great potty.

Looks just like the real thing!, June 25, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: TOT-Co Toilet Trainer (Baby Product)
The nice thing about this potty seat is that fact that it looks similar to a real toilet. I have seen that some toddlers have a hard time converting from potty chair to toilet because the chair is more "kiddie" and a lot less daunting than the big, boring toilet. Potty training with this is much easier because they feel like "big kids" when they use this potty chair and then can't wait to use the big real one like a grown up. It makes real flushing sounds and even hold a roll of paper, so they get used to the real toilet faster. It's also nice that it has a lid so they get used to closing the lid down, too. It's not too hard to clean either. It may not look as fun and do the same things as other potty chairs do, but it sure does help teach them easier!

Tot-Co potty really makes Tot-GO !, June 19, 2003
This review is from: TOT-Co Toilet Trainer (Baby Product)
We really had a problem toilet training my son, and were just about to give up when I saw an article in [a magazine] about an award-winning potty that looks like a real toilet. It was from Tot-co. We ordered one and my son was trained within a week. It cost a little more, but the savings in diapers was well worth it. My son was so proud that he had his own toilet, just like Momy and Daddy's, and it even makes a flushing noise. GREAT PRODUCT.
