If you opt for a potty chair, you will probably choose a miniature version of an adult toilet, a molded one-piece style that a child straddles or a plastic molded stool-type chair. Many potty chairs today convert to adult toilet seat adapters as well.

• Before purchasing a potty chair, check to see how the pot is removed. If the pot is hard to get out or it has to be tipped, don’t buy it.

• If you want a urine deflector, look for a removable one made of flexible plastic. Potties with deflectors seem to be easier to find than those without them. If your child is hurt by one when trying to seat himself, he may refuse to use the seat.

• Buy a floor model that won’t slide around and is stable.

• Consider buying more than one potty chair, especially if you have more than one bathroom or a two story house. The extra one can always be used for car travel or left at grandma’s.

• Be aware that if you get a potty chair with a tray, lifting it up will be one more step your child will have to master.

• Look into the possibility of buying an adult camping portable potty for a child who is unusually large.
