BabyBjörn Potty Chair

When my son was two years and a few-months-old he still did not want to use his little potty. One evening my husband went to the local John Lewis and bought him a very nice Baby Bjorn potty chair. It was also much more expensive than our old potty. I was not happy about it and wanted to bring it back to the store. However, our son started to use it immediately. There was one problem at the beginning; he could not get used to to seeing what was in ...
...the bathroom, wash the potty, bring it back and then repeat the process two or three times more. Then I found a solution. Every time he jumped of the potty I put a toilet paper on the top. It worked very well and he started to do it himself. It continued for a month or so and then he simply got used to to the surprises in the potty.

When my son was two years and a few-months-old he still did not want to use his little potty. One evening my husband went to the local John Lewis and bought him a very nice Baby Bjorn potty chair. It was also much more expensive than our old potty. I was not happy about it and wanted to bring it back to the store. However, our son started to use it immediately. There was one problem at the beginning; he could not get used to to seeing what was in the potty jumping halfway through. I had to run to the bathroom, wash the potty, bring it back and then repeat the process two or three times more. Then I found a solution. Every time he jumped of the potty I put a toilet paper on the top. It worked very well and he started to do it himself. It continued for a month or so and then he simply got used to to the surprises in the potty. He is now a four-year-old boy and he still likes using it. It is so comfortable that he prefers it to the toilet seat (well, we have to get him a comfortable seat). When he is on the potty chair I often find him playing with his mega blocks or other construction toys. I have heard that very good ideas might come when you are on the loo :)

In my opinion the advantages of this potty chair are:
- high backrest (good for the spine)
- comfortable seat and the inner potty is long with a higher front preventing spillages on the carpet which is very useful for boys
- the height of the chair is just right for the little kids
- lots of legroom
- non slip base, very sturdy
- the inner potty is deep

Looking back I do not think we have wasted money on this potty chair because we would have wasted more on the nappies.
It is pity you cannot buy a spare inner potty. Good to have a spare one if you have more than one child.

I really recommend this potty chair because it works very well and although it is expensive in the long run you will save because it is cheaper than a few packs of nappies. Every two months we spend £18.00 on nappies and that is a price of this potty. However, while I do recommend this potty chair it is not something that you have to buy, a "must have". I believe, there are families out there who are happy with their first choice of potties.

Good luck!
