Noodad: noodad » What’s better for bathroom training: potty or toilet?

    We tried both with my daughter and even though the plastic potty made a regal trumpet sound when something fell in (a royal flush?) it was more a distraction than a help.

    Eventually, we just went with the toilet. It made it easier to explain, \"Honey, daddy takes a dump in here, you should too.\"

    The only thing to remember is you should put one of those kids seats on it first. The toilet bowl can be a very dangerous place, especially for little butts. One minute they can be sitting there, and the next thing you know, they are snorkeling in their own piss.

    I agree! Why go through all the extra steps of cleaning and disinfecting a little plastic pot of poop and pee when you could have just flushed it in the first place?

    There\'s nothing cooler to little kids than being able to use the \"Big Girl\" or \"Big Boy\" potty-add the toilet seat and step of their choice, some Baby/Kandoo wipes, and call it a day!
