Potties

Consumer Editor says...

Lara Thomas and Finn, Consumer Editor and Product Tester!

Are you daydreaming of the day when you can say goodbye to a change bag stuffed with nappy changing clobber? We're here to get you started by helping you choose that all-important potty that will help you turn the corner to a nappy-free life! The market is bombarded with all sorts of weird and wonderful potty designs. The basic style of potty with a round shaped edge is still widely available and is the fuss-free option for parents who want to train their child steadily without any fancy frills or distractions. On the other hand, a few rewarding elements can help to preserve your child's interest and add an extra dose of fun. It really depends on how you envisage toilet training and what you feel is important for your child.

Our panel gave the Best Buy award to the Baby Bjorn potty because of its 'simple design that really helped the potty training process'. The Best Value award went to the Extra Comfortable Potty: 'a nifty little potty at a great price that's especially comfortable for baby'. The parent panel reviews will give you further information on each design, but if you want to see how the potties compared under different criteria, make sure you read the Test Overview.
