My son’s Royal Throne
I bought my son a royal potty from Argos after visiting a friend when he was one year old and Although I considered him to be to young to consider potty training I did want him to have a potty around so that it was a familiar item.

My son’s Royal Throne
I bought my son a royal potty from Argos after visiting a friend when he was one year old and Although I considered him to be to young to consider potty training I did want him to have a potty around so that it was a familiar item.
What is the Royal Potty?
It is a potty that appears to be more comfortable than a normal potty as it is shaped liked a throne with arms and a back. It also has a splash protector at the front designed for little boys more than girls. It also has an additional function that is a fanfare sound when the child passes urine that is activated by the sensor. It is made with plastic that is easy to wipe. It also came with a sticker reward chart
My experience
First experience
When I first bought the potty we were living in temporary accommodation so I had to keep it in our room. This was where he was changed. I decided to sit him on it each time and ask him if he had a wee in his tinky. He astonished me that despite been only one year old, the majority of times he did wee. I did find that the batteries did seem to run down quite quickly and I had to remove them as it kept going off intermittently and this was not helpful in the room I was sharing with my son. It takes 3 AA batteries which are not included when you purchase.
One of the really positive aspects of this potty is that there is a pan that slides out of the bottom so is easier to empty than the average potty
This continued for a few weeks until we moved to our house then he did regress as little and stopped using the potty. For this reason I left the potty around but didn't bother until he was a little older.
Second Experience
As he continued to show no interest at all I bought a car potty that he desperately wanted from a charity shop
This sparked his interest again so we now have the car potty downstairs and the Royal potty upstairs. He is happy to use either potty and each time he has a wee or bowel movement he tips it in the toilet and we flush the toile and wave bye bye. He does find the royal potty as easy to empty but does empty both with equal enthusiasm if not accuracy.
I have found as my son is older that the fanfare is not necessarily a rewards as he has figured that if he puts his hands in then he can activate it without weeing so no longer replace the battery. He also continually removes the guard on the front but I figure that it is inbred that any male has no desire to his the target anyway.
The other difficulty that I am aware of with this potty is that is quite bulky when you reach the point that you need to carry a potty with you.
My son is now dry at home when he has no nappy on but he next needs to learn to manage to remember to use the potty when he is wearing pants .He will happily use either potty so did I need to spend this much money probably not however he likes it so that is that the most important aspect.
Additional options
The legs are also removable so that it can be used as a toilet seat as well but have not attempted this.
Summary
Overall this is a comfortable potty that can be an extra encouragement but it would not be my first choice of potty if I was in the same position but there are some advantages over traditional potties. I would certainly suggest that anyone who has a child who hasn't taken to a traditional potty give this one a try.
Availability
This potty is currently available at Amazon for £17.97 with free delivery.
Advantages: well put together, easily cleaned, lightweight, converts to a big toilet Disadvantages: Not that sturdy, splash guard too high, sounds too easily, book is poor
Potty training is possibly the thing I had dreaded most in bringing up my two boys. I saw this Royal 'all singing and dancing' Potty and thought that this would encourage my little lad to pee where he should and adding a little fun to the occassion. How could I have been more wrong!
You have to assemble it yourself and you also need 3 double A batteries which are not supplied (make sure you get them first or you child will be most disapointed that ... ...the child grows, the legs remove easily so you can place the seat on the 'big' toilet. Easy to clean and light. It seems fairly stable on the floor with arm rests so looks like a proper throne. I think this is where it started to go wrong, the actual sitting down on it moment! My little boy is fairly tall and had to squat down little further than normal in the first instance, it wasn't that sturdy after all and started to move when he tried to get ...

Advantages: Encourages use of potty with musical reward Disadvantages: Bit pricey
Having found no problems at all in toilet training my first child, I niavely thought it would be the same for daughter number 2 - how wrong could I be!!! There is never a truer saying than, 'no two children are the same'.
I have bought your everyday, run of the mill potty which she did not like and refused to sit on and have tried the trainer seat which goes on top of the toilet seat which was a no go also.
I began a search of potties which my little one may like to do her business on instead and came across this one which is fab!
Named the RoyalPotty by FisherPrice, its a little throne chair with a removable bowl which slides in and out from under the seat. It also comes with a detachable shield so its suitable for little boys too.
The potty, sorry 'throne' has a little movement sensor on it which makes a little tune ...

Advantages: its big enough for my little giant Disadvantages: no rubber feet.
This potty is brilliant, my son is 2.5 and the size of a 4 year old. We have struggled with conventional potties as they where to low and he ended up with his knees around his ears and tipping off of it to try and get off. We then tried the fisherpriceroyal one, which had a useless splash guard that flapped down when he sat. This potty is great it is big, higher off the ground than a normal potty and fun. It has a huge splash guard i dont think there is any way of it escaping, (only when he tries to stand up) its big enough to fit his bum in comfortably and has a removable centre to make it easy to was out. it is a tad expensive but you could spend so much more finding the right pot for your little one. It has handles on the side they can hold to help them sit and stand. the only thing i will say is it fdoes not have rubber ...
