Bjorn to Potty
BabyBjörn is known for their quality, stylish products. Most parents know them for their baby carriers, but they also make a full range of baby gear, including the BabyBjörn Potty.
June is Potty Training Awareness Month (yes, they have a month for everything) and with my daughter approaching the two year mark, toilet training has become a topic near and dear to my heart.
Potties need to be comfortable, convenient, and appealing to your little potty-er. Bonus points if they also aren’t an aesthetic nightmare.
The BabyBjörn Potty scores high on each account. First, the base has a high back and armchair style wings to make your toddler feel safe and secure, which is a prerequisite for feeling relaxed enough to use the potty. Because the Bjorn is just two simple pieces, potty-goers will quickly learn to empty the potty on their own, which is an exciting step towards independence.
The BabyBjörn potty is decorated with a simple, child-friendly teddy bear, but is still simple and stylish enough that I don’t want to hide it.
And, although I sincerely hope your child is not chewing on the potty, you should know that BabyBjörn does not use chemical additives such as cadmium, lead, phthalates, bromine or chlorine. Plus, all of their plastics are recyclable.
BabyBjörn’s children’s bathroom products also include a step stool for reaching the sink, a toilet trainer seat, and a Little Traveling Potty for when your kiddo has to go on the go.
The Little Potty is a great addition because many children get used to a particular potty and a change in bathroom accommodations can throw off their new found potty confidence. I appreciate that the Little Potty is shaped just like regular potty so that particular children will feel comfortable using their potty in unfamiliar restrooms.
Because when you gotta go, ya gotta go…

Very attractive, as far as potty chairs go! I’d love to win
1) I would choose Bright Red 2) My question is this: How can I achieve consistency? My son is struggling with this and I am becoming very discouraged. He just isn’t getting it. I have another one that needs to start training soon and I am really dreading it…
I love the purple! My tip is to have your child “sit” very often at the beginning. It’s time consuming on the parent’s part, but it ensures an early success to get excited about:-). Thanks for the giveaway!
ocean blue, don’t use a reward, let them understand potty training is its’ own reward
I love the one in Spring Green. I have a 2 year old and I’m wanting to potty train him before the year is over. My question would be, what is your best tip?
I love the green but it’s hard to beat plain white…
My big tip? Letting your kid lead. Have a potty, tell them about it, let them watch you use the bathroom. When they’re interested, they’ll let you know. Otherwise, both of you will be miserable!
Pink for my princesses, let the flushing of the potty be a reward (worked like a charm with my first not with the second)
I like the color spring green!
My question is what is a good age to try to potty train a boy?
Hey, My wife and I will be having our first child in September. With only months away, I would like to assure that we have all necessities. Including this awesome Potty. I am sure she would LOVE the (Spring Green) color because that would match the theme for our nursery. I will also post this on my blog. As far as a question, how can the father help in training?

I would choose the pink one for my daughter. Haven’t started training yet. My son did great, just work with them everyday, don’t push too hard.

i like the red. let the child know how proud you are of them when they use the potty
Thank you for this great giveaway. I would choose the bright red if I won. Someone told me that a great tip is making a big fuss (but quitely) when your child uses the potty. Also, bringing a doll or stuff animal to show your child how to use the potty and what fun his/her friend has using the potty. Thanks again and please enter me.
Great design. I prefer the Sunflower yellow. My tip is to go full throttle and commit 100%. Buy lots and lots of underwear, have plenty of sheets handy, lots of laundry detergent, some small rewards (stickers, etc) and above all, patience. I also found that using pull-ups confused my kids because they were so much like diapers. Much luck!
gkstratos @yahoo.com
I’d love the Potty in (1) Ocean Blue or (2) Spring Green.
My question is how do you know when your child is ready to potty train? We are first-time parents-to-be of a child we are adopting from Russia who may or may not be potty trained when he gets home…
heatherlbrandt (at) verizon (dot) net
I like the pink potty chair. I would suggest not pressuring your child, every child is different and will potty train when ready. Great giveaway, thanks!
I love the bright red for my twin girls. When would you say is too too early to start. I have a friend who says her just turned two year old is completely potty trained. How does that happen?
I would love to win the sunflower one. My tip is to stay consistent and have lots of patience. With my oldest daughter it was easier than with my son. My youngest daughter is only 1 at the moment but the time of potty training will come when she’s older and I’m ready for it.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Spring Green! My question is how to get my 3 year old to stop screaming when she gets near the potty chair *sigh*
i love the red one! my tip would be to potty train when you think the kid is ready. too early and it’s just battles!
I love the ocean blue color. Thanks for the giveaway!
1.) I like the color ‘Spring Green’ 2.) As for a tip-I potty trained my daughter a month ago by letting her run around without a diaper and leaving a potty chair in the living room, so she could go when she needed to-worked great for her-she was in her big girl panties the 2nd day! (You can’t be afraid of a few accidents, though.)
I love the Spring Green color.
My son is enthusiastic about potty training but more often than not, by the time he tells me he has to go, he’s already done it. How do I get him to say it before the deed and not after?
1. Spring Green 2. My tip, don’t push it! It’s all about when the child is ready to train. I “thought” my 2 yr old was ready, but as he torn off the new underwear I bought him screaming for his diaper, I knew I better back off for a few more months. :)
I love the Spring Green! That is my favorite color these days! We are working on potty training right now! With both my kids, the key is keeping them naked (at home– when possible) because for some reason, they will go in their pants (or diaper) but they will NOT go when bare. I don’t know why! :) So when home, we try to keep them “bare” as much as possible to get them used to using the potty. Then we just gradually work into the rest of the day (when out and about.)
I like the ocean blue color – matches my bathroom. I haven’t started potty training but I wonder what the best way to clean the training potty is – and how often a deep clean needs to happen.
color = ocean blue
Potty training scares me. My baby boy just turned one and just realizing we obviously have to train him sitting down. How do we teach him control of urine direction? Obviously daddy needs to be involved but I am the one home with him all day. Petrified I tell ya!
My color choice would be bright red. My question is: how do you know when your child is ready? Is it really that obvious?
I’d love the spring green. My question is…My son gets constipated a lot, and then refuses to go….how can we ease the constipation and encourage a bm??
wow how cool a potty now i could realy use this for my little one any color will do she’s now 15 mo’s old my little one and well she realy in to starting or wanting to start useing the potty right ow inorder to keep her from trying to take off her dipper i have to put panties on over her dippers or put her in a onesie and well one of the songs she like here on line is the potty song so if i was to win this it would just make my day thanks
1) I’d love it in purple and 2) how do you know your toddler is ready to be potty-trained?
Ocean blue is my pick for color and as for advise. Each of my kids were different and so I had to potty train based on their style and what worked for them. Hopefully with this one it will be that he likes to pee in a blue potty. Thanks.
1) The spring green would be the best choice for my family. I have two babies under the age of two and am using cloth diapers. My question 2) is there a transitional solution like a “pull up” for those cloth diaper users out there?
I would love the red one! My question is – when is too early to start potty training?
Red would be my choice! We have to give rewards at our house!! It made potty training the first one a breeze! Sometimes we have to do different things with the second one! The best advice I have to offer is to do what works best with your child and don’t rush it. They will learn in their own time.
Wow! Great timing! I’d love the red potty for my little girl who just turned 19 months old today! Potty training is just around the corner! :)
I have just one question… WHERE IN THE WORLD do I find Girl’s Spongebob undies??? My daughter loves Spongebob so I’d love to find her some girls’ Spongebob unders for potty training!
I’d love to win a pink one! My 2 year old is ready to potty train I think (warns me when she needs to be changed, wants to be without a diaper, etc) but we are going on vacation soon and I’m not sure if I should start now or after we get back. Does a break in routine ruin things?
I like the pink one. My question is when should you start? What age is the average for when kids are ready?
I like the Pink color…and my potty tip, send them to my brother!! Ha! He came home on his college spring break and potty trained my now 8 year old. What an uncle!
Hopefully I’ll be able to potty train my little girl by myself!
seeryusfam@msn.com
We’d love the Ocean Blue potty for our daughter!
My question: What is your favorite potty related book for kids and what is your favorite potty related book for parents?
I’d love the Sunflower one; bright and cheery.
Keep asking the child if they have to go potty and then take them and sit them on the chair and say ‘good girl/boy’ you go peepie.
I like the spring green.
My question – is it horrible to potty train kids for daytime but still let them wear a diaper at night? No way can my 2 year old son get himself to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
I love the green one!!!
My question is this.. We are in the beginning of potty training our 29 month old whom goes to daycare during the week. He seems to really be using the potty every time at daycare, but at home, he rarely seems interested in it.. What can we do to encourage more at home usage of the “potty”?
My son isn’t at the potty stage, but when he is do you teach little boys to stand or sit?
Spring Green
Ocean Blue
My tip is to throw cheerio’s in the toliet for the little boys to aim at, rather then buying those expensive ones at the baby store!
I like the snow white potty. the best tip I have is be consistant. Kids will let you know whent hey are ready.
i would love to win i am going on my second child but trying new things is always worth it to me!!
I’d love the red one. Although my little one is only 3 months, I am not looking forward to potty training, especially nighttime training. My question is: Does using cloth diapers really make it easier to potty train your child?
We’d have to go for Spring Green. My tip: Bribes are OK during potty training time.
Would love the red one for my future granddaughter. Most little ones start getting an interest in potty training after 18 months. When they want there diaper changed, can stay dry at least two hours, and can follow simple instructions, they will get the idea.
My daughter caught on much earlier and easier than my son. Just have patience—-lots and lots of patience and you will eventually succeed!
I love the spring green. I get my daughter excited when I trained her i gave her a hersey kiss after she would go. Next I will have to train my son.
I like the red. and I need this!
Perfect timing, my son is also approaching his 2nd birthday. I’ve heard great things about the Baby Bjorn potty. Spring green would be my color choice.
Question: best way to plant the potty training concept to a barely verbal toddler (he’s got maybe 50 words?) – baby step 1 in potty training?
Bright red is my pick, and my question is: how exactly do you start? I mean, when do I bring her to sit down on the potty if I have no idea when she’s going to go?
We would definitely pick the PINK, we are trying to potty train our daughter (another girl on the way to use it in a few years too)and got the tiny baby bjorn seat but this one is much bigger and nicer looking! My tip: be patient!
I like teh ocean blue. My tip: dont rush potty training;make potty training fun; reward with candy/toys. Oh and be patient. And expect lots of “accidents”.
I like the spring green!
I’m only at the beginning of potty training and my tip is to ask if your child wants to use the potty often. And don’t make a big deal if they have an accident!
I like the Spring green.
I haven’t started to potty train my son yet, but I’ve heard that boys are harder to train than girls…I hope thats not true!
I like the Green one.
My question is, how do you when your child is ready to start potty training?
I love the blue or bright red one. My question is should I train my son (he is 2) standing up or sitting down?
We are boring and like the plain white one! Although the yellow is tempting…
I suggest you try to not think of it as training but as starting a new routine. Just sit on the potty after meals and first thing when they wake up and soon it will be part of the day – no rewards required.
We started this with my daughter at just 11 months and rarely have any resistance.
I’m partial to the red and green potties.
Love the green one!! I have yet to attempt potty training with my two year, but I could sure USE some tips!!
I like the pink but at what age should you thing about potty training?
Love the sunflower color…very bright and colorful.
My tip for you is this; When potty training your little one dispose of all diapers (even the bedtime kiddie ones). If you have a few “wet bed” nights…that’s okay. What you will be teaching your children is the feeling they will not like. It only takes (at the most) 2 weeks to fully train your little one to wake in the middle of the night and through out the day. It worked for me three times over!!!
I would love to win the Ocean Blue Bjorn potty chair! I’ve just started thinking about potty training my 2yo and I’m thinking about getting the “Potty Watch” that has been floating around the internet. It looks like it would help to remind us to take bathroom breaks.
i like the snow white potty. i have a potty training question for you… we are having problems with night time potty training. any suggestions? thanks.
Pink, of course. And my tip – Never force it. It will just make them afraid to go, and they will try to hold it in. Be patient, and good natured about it, and eventually they will want to do it. Going around with a wet and or messy butt is not fun. lol.
I’m partial to the pink potty and my tip would be just to have the potty with you at all times. Let the little one get on it as often as you can and praise, praise, praise, when something happens!
I like spring green, bright and cheery.
Dont waste your money on pull ups…they really dont replace underpants and actually leak! in fact I feel like they prolong the process if the child likes them too much and think they are just like underpants.
I like Ocean Blue. My favorite tip is to be patient and no pressure and guilt. Plan on nit taking til age 3.
Even though I have a girl, I like the baby blue. My question is… What are signs that a baby is ready to be potty trained?
I like the Sunflower potty seat.
Tip: Boys in general are less interested in/take longer to potty train than girls.
Ocean Blue for us. My best advice is don’t push your child.
I would love to have a Spring Green Potty.
My tip would be patience and perseverance. As with all teaching experiences with kids. Forcing kids to go potty doesn’t work. Make it a fun, teaching opportunity. Read to them on the potty, talk, sing while they are on the potty. Make it a part of your daily routine.
kenzkween at hotmail dot com
I would choose the white one.
How do you know when your little one is ready to be toilet trained?
Spring green.
Okay. I’ve trained 2 and have 1 who should soon be ready. My tip: wait and be patient. Have the potty available and encourage them to try, read books, let them see you/siblings doing it. Praise any efforts, be matter-of-fact about failures. No pressure, no issues. This is one thing you really have no control over, and I do believe that pushing only makes parents frustrated–it doesn’t hurry the process at all.
Wait until the child is ready..trying to be the first on your block just confuses and frustrates. I started with my child, and after a couple of days, I realized this was’nt a real positive, fun experience..I waited one more month, he got it right away, and everybody was full of smiley faces! I would choose the Pink for Lily. Thanks!
I like the green – good for a boy or a girl.
My tip is simple – wait until your child is ready. You will know when that is!
I want to start Potty training but I have heard how hard it is. I am wondering what are your best tips? I want this to be a positive experience.
By the way I borrowed the BABYBJÖRN carrier from a friend when I had my first and I would love to own my own for the next. Its all everyone is talking about!
I think I would want the white or the blue. Pink is pretty but what if I have a boy!
What a cool potty chair! The ocean blue would be my choice for my first grandchild. Thank you for such a neat product, my oh my potty chairs have come a long way……..yippeee
My tip is: M&M’s. It’s amazing what a child will to for an M&M or two!
Fun colors, tough decision. I suppose I’d choose red ’cause it’d match Little Man’s Coca-Cola bathroom (’cause you know matching is the most important thing in potty training).
I like the bright red potty.
I haven’t done traditional potty training. Instead I am currently, and have done, elimination communication. Basically try to learn when your baby needs to eliminate by being in tune with them. It’s a great way to bond with your child. The best advice I have is to do your best and not to get upset when you miss taking your baby to pee.
I am loving the Spring Green potty! I saw this on tv and I wanted one for my toddy. I have been putting him the toilet every hour to see if he goes and he does! I know that some mothers use timers to help remind them.
I like the spring green, and I love bjorn products!!
I like the spring green! My question on potty training is how do you know when your child is ready?
I like the blue. I’ve heard boys are harder to train than girls. Has that been your experience too?
I love the Ocean Blue.
My suggestion would be to nothing but real underwear.
ocean blue is nice.just be patient.
I love the green. I am new at this so have no points or questions. I guess the place to start is what age?
My suggestion would be is to let the older children help the “trainee”. My youngest son followed his older brother around so much that he basically trained himself. I like the Sunflower.
My son picked out the blue one and decorated his with MANY stickers. I would love to win the pink one for when my pink-loving daughter starts training. My tip: When it is time to go don’t let “no” be an option!
I like the red one! I have an older son and with him I used to walk him through it step by step
blue
I would like to have the ocean blue. I think it is imporatant that both parents encourage the baby by trying to imitate the potty position. Vicarious learning is effective.
The pink potty of course. My tip is to make sure they are ready. I waited until both of mine were two and they were trained in one day and no accidents.
I like the snow white one. And my tip is be patient! They’ll probably have a few accidents while learning!
Spring Green. Potty training is easier when you use cloth diapers.
1. Green
2. When my mother was potty training my brother and I, every time she changed our diapers she would set us on the toilet, run the warm water, get a cup full of it, and pour it over our penis as we sat on the toilet. This, of course, made us urinate, and got us used to the idea of doing that “activity” regularly on the toilet!
I like the red one. I think Naked time during the summer, combined with lots of Bjorn potties placed around the house would be perfect for potty training.
I like the yellow or blue. Don’t pressure the child. When they are ready – they’re ready. We used M & M’s for bribery when he was. If successful, he got 1 m & m. Thought it was great and was easy to train. Also, watched Elmo’s Potty time, helped, too.
Pink for us.
I started PTing my 27m daughter 2 weeks ago. I give her a small piece of chocolate to motivate her to actually use the potty. It has been working good….ah maybe too good….the past two days she tells me needs to go potty about every 1/2 an hour. And yes she actually goes. Today she told me “Mommy I pee in potty” so I go to see what she has done and she actually took off her pull up, went pee, wiped and then put on a pair of shorts. Amazing what a little chocolate will do for someone. LOL!
Green is Great! We had a very relaxed approach our first. No pressure, and treats when she did go on the potty. It worked great, and we will do it again!
I would choose Spring Green, and since I’ve never potty trained before I probably shouldn’t be giving tips. ;-) I’m wondering how long it usually takes to potty train, though.
Thank you!
Lindsey
Love the Spring Green!
Tip: Let them run around without any bottoms on. The first time they go and have pee running down their leg will be quite uncomfortable for them. Then explain how they can avoid that feeling. Worked for my daughter.
PINK!!!! Naturally, we have a girl I love their products and anything that will help us to continue to potty train my little one is appreciated.
Ocean blue for my boys, thanks
I would pick Ocean Blue for my little one who’s about to jump on the potty train himself anytime now!
In our house, if you successfully potty in the toilet, you get a treat! Like M&M’s!
[...] Where: Mamanista [...]
i love the spring green. i have so many questions, how can i pick just one?! i guess i’d want to know the best time to start potty training my daughter.
I would like the girl potty chair for my daughter. Question: Where do I start? This is my first child. She is almost 18 months and I have heard that girls often can be potty trained early but I don’t even know what signs to look for.
Love the style of it. I would like one for my son.
I like the green.
Q: They won’t go off to college wearing diapers, will they?
We’re trying the “pants off + lots of sunscreen” over the next two weeks. Woo-hoo preschool, here we come!
I like bright red. I guess my tip would be to not give up if there’s a backslide/accident. They’ll take interest again soon!
Pink! for my granddaughter.
Be patient and don’t worry about how old anyone else’s kid is or was when they were trained. Each child moves at their own pace.
I think snow white. My little guy is only 7 months, so I’m not sure…. consistency?
blue color-the reward system of getting a prize worked for us.
Oh this is great. I like the ocean blue color or sunflower. Paitence is the only tip I can give you, I hear girls are easier to train than boys, and I have a boy and another one on the way! haha
(1) Your choice of color: Ocean Blue is really pretty!
(2) A Potty Training Tip or Question:
I have a Question: When is a good time to start? My son is 16 months old and we are moving in December (he’ll be 22 months then) should we wait until after the move? Plus we are also having a new baby in September, I didn’t want to start him then he get jealous or out of whack will all the commotion!
I love the pink! My question- when you are first starting, do you only practice at home? The big store toilets are so scary for little ones!
ocean blue is my choice. i always say go slow- let your child lead the way, even if it seems like he is going backward.
I like the ocean blue. I think each child is different. when they are ready, be patient and consistent in the training
Our 15 month old is already starting to show signs she wants to use the potty. This would be great to get her accustomed to using the big girl toilet!
I like Spring Green. My question is: Does the potty training in one day book really work?
I’d love the red one!! And my potty training tip is: START EARLY!!!
We want the pink one! We start early with our kids, as SOON as they show interest – around 18 months An open potty policy is the BEST way to teach them how to use the potty – they are used to seeing you go, and learn best by imitation.
TO POOP OR NOT TO POOP
I like the Bright Red and my tip is don’t be pressured by other (older)family members into starting before your little one is ready!
belinda_streak(at)hotmail(dot)com
I’ve been told that you’ll just know when your child is ready to potty train. My question is: how do you know? I’d choose the Spring Green for my daughter, who will hopefully be ready before the end of the year. (fingers crossed)
My best potty training tip? Start from the beginning with cloth diapers!
We love red in our house, but blue would be nice too!
Let them be around the older same gender sibling or just comment out loud about what a good job they do.
Spring Green would be my choice.
I would like a blue one for my little boy – my question is, what is the right age to start training and what are some tell-tale signs to look for that they are ready for it?
I would love the red one, then anyone can use it, my two girls, or my best friend son! Totally cute.
My tip? Praise and patience, it’s the only thing getting me by.
The snow white potty is adorable. Just praise them when they do it,it’ll come after time.
I’d like to choose pink — my daughter will begin training this fall.
With our son, we basically rewarded him for staying dry, not for going potty–took some of the performance pressure off!
Thanks

My favorite color is ocean blue (no girls here). My best potty training tip: DO NOT FORCE A CHILD TO POTTY TRAIN!!! So many parents think that their child must train, even if they are not ready!! If they are not ready, wait a week or so and try again. It is terrible for the child to be forced to potty train. For a boy, the 3rd birthday is the time when you really try!!
I love the color choices! We’d choose Sunflower.
I agree with tangie c, you’ll know when you’re child is ready. I wouldn’t push it on them but I also wouldn’t wait until they’re 4 either.
With my daughter we had to bribe her with a Barbie Jeep lol Candy and stickers just didn’t work for her. Of course I would not recommend that to someone else! :)
Where in the world do you even start with a boy?! My daughter was fairly easy but I’m already stressing about how to go about potty training my son.
I’m an aunt, but boy do I remember the potty chairs of yesterday — flimsy and probably uncomfortable. My great-nephew would do well, I believe, with the Baby Bjorn Potty and I like the fact it is a small version of the bathroom toilet so the transition can be easier.
Bjorn items are always so chic and useful!
So cute!
Agh, I feel so overwhelmed! I am due with my first and keep finding all these things that I forgot I would need.
1) I would select the Ocean blue color.
2) I do not have a tip yet since our first is not quite here yet but how do I know when to start potty training?
ocean blue and reward reward reward!
I love the white potty! This is one thing I have to buy a new one of for my second child, our first one is trashed! Best potty tip…..If you try it and they are not ready after a week or so put the potty away and try again in a month, so it’s exciting for them again. Otherwisw they get use to the potty being there and they aren’t as excited to try again.
My favorite is the bright red. My question would be what are the readiness signs? When do I start trying to potty train? I am completely clueless.
Color: purple it is for the royal princes and princesses.
Tip: Keep it simple and stress free. Make sure it’s fun for you and little jr.

i like the snow white. it looks so classic.
snow white is may favorite
this is a must have for me, ready to start potty training soon!
I would choose the sunflower color. The best advice I can give for potty training is to wait until the child shows some positive interest in it ,or you will be fighting a losing battle!
I would love to have the green potty for my son :)
Once you start potty training…don’t stop! It only makes it harder.
ocean blue. don’t get angry at accidents – explain that accidents happen, and reinforce the potty routine right away.
Patience and floor cleaner. White please!
I like the red potty… I haven’t started training yet… but a friend of mine kept a basket of children’s books in the bathroom to encourage them to sit awhile. Thanks.
i’d love an ocean blue one, thanks!
best tip i heard was from our daycare — not to make TOO big a deal about it, both in terms of stressing about when it happens or rewarding it when it does.
My son would love the red potty seat! My tip is to be as calm as possible. That’s what I’m trying to be…
color:
tip: Make sure the potty is available when someone else is using the bathroom (showers, etc) We only have one bathroom so if we know someone is going to be in there for awhile we pull it out to be used.
I forgot to leave my color choice. Sorry about the double post.
color: white.
green
sit them backwards on the big toilet seat.
ocean blue How do you get a child that is scared of the potty to sit on it?
I like the red. My tip – start early on, as soon as my son wakes up I sit him on the potty and do this after each nap. Also need to be calm and patient!
The white one since it goes with everything. Patience is key! Celebrate the ‘accomplishment’ with lots of praise. Keep the potty available to the child; we actually had 2 potties since we had a 2-story house.
my daughter isn’t quite old enough tp potty trin yet so no tip from me! i’ve been reading the tips!
i like the green potty.
Keep trying new prizes, stickers, etc… at some point you will find the bribe that works for your child!
I love the pink!
this would be great for our expecting baby. Dec 06, 2008.
I like the color blue!
My question is what is a good age to try to potty train a boy?
I like the spring green color.
My girls were so easy to potty train, they trained by age 2. Now my son is 3 1/2 and still wont use the potty. We try about every 6 months but he does not care if he is wet, so I am still waiting.
spring green is my favorite! We’ve found that making up lyrics about going potty and singing them to familiar tunes really helped get our girls excited to potty train. I’m hoping it will work just as well when it comes time (which is very soon ) to train our sons
I like the pink.
When do you know your child is ready?
Blue for a boy
My potty training tip that seems to get my boy excited making a run to the potty is to get a sales paper. Look through the toy section with your little one. When you find a toy that he/she is excited about cut it out and put it on the wall in front of the potty. Remind your toddler that this is the reward for going to the potty when they have accomplished going in the potty for a week. Our tiny reward for every trip of trying is a sticker and for accomplishment is a m&m. Happy Potty Training mama’s and Daddy’s. This is a exciting time for everyone.
Ocean Blue
Question: Is it okay to introduce my son to his potty once he starts walking?
Snow White please! The book “Toilet Training in Less Than a Day” by Nathan Azrin was a lifesaver for us!
Spring Green is my fav color choice.
My question, will my 3 year old son EVER be potty trained?!
Love the Ocean Blue. My tip is to switch straight to undies, and bypass pullups. Unless it is nighttime or you are going somewhere.
I like Spring Green and My question is how do you know when the time is right to start training?
Bright Red!
I remind my child about potty learning by telling her ‘your body will tell you when you need to use the potty’. I let her tell me when she has to go (or has gone) and leave a potty chair or two out and available.
Pink for my baby girl
always give a hug and reward
Pink is the color I choose for little Jaylee.
Take the portable potty with you everywhere when training for consistency – grandma’s, play dates, etc.
Pink is great! What is the earliest age to start training?
OH! The Spring Green is great! What a fun color! My 20 month old son is SO into the potty right now… I’ve been potty shopping so we can get training! This would be so perfect!
My tip – don’t let other parents’ horror stories or negitive attitudes discourage you. When your kids are ready, they will let you know!
I like the Sunflower yellow. My tip is to let your child be the guide to potty training. Let them help in picking out undies to make it more fun instead of such a chore.
My pick would be Ocean Blue. My tip is to wait to potty train until your child shows interst and is ready. If you try to force it, it can cause more problems and make you both miserable not to mention it will take forever.
I think Brooke would love the pink one. We are just starting with her now. She is showing interest as we are changing her diapers more often now as soon as she wets she tells us. So we think she will be ready soon.
My choice is pink. Plus the potty is the perfect size for my daughter’s teddy bear to sit on and potty train simultaneously.
My choice would be the blue. And about the only tip I would give anyone is dont push them to hard make it seem fun. If you push them too hard they wont think of it as a good experience. How we potty trained my son was to make it a game he loved to go outside and pee on the tree LOL. I know hhehehehe but it worked and we were having a hard time training him. Doing this he learned to potty standing up and he just didnt like the idea that daddy got to go potty standing he should.
I like the bright red! The potty advice my sis gave me was to have a potty book handy. Have a special little pop up book that he can read just when he goes to the potty.
The spring green is cute. Let your child potty train on their own good time. They will learn
I like the bright red. This has worked with my two older boys- let them take target practice in the potty using cheerios:)
1) Ocean blue
2) Get the child excited about potty training before you even start. Pick out big kid underwear (or pull ups) together. Watch videos regarding potty training, buy a special potty training book, and if your child has a big kid friend, encourage your child to strive to go in the potty like johnny or sally.
i like the white since it goes with all decor. i use candy bribes for successful attempts at the potty.
I like it in Sunflower. Patience is the best tip. Let them go when their ready.
I love the pink potty! My tip is having a reward chart for whenever they do go in the potty they get a sticker on a chart towards a reward!
I would love the green one to match the frogs in his bathroom. I am wondering if I can try training soon. He is 18 months old and loves to tell me I am going potty when I go…
Pink is super!!!!!
My pick would be green and my question is where oh where do you start with a boy after having three girls?! I’m going to pull my hair out I think!
Love your site desing btw…
This is a nice potty, I am currently trying to get my son trained and he wont wear his underwear!! he just wants to run around naked.. I can’t have that, so I don’t know what to do!! I am having a baby in August so winning this would definitely be good, I would get twice the use out of it!!
make toilet training a bit fun, and allow your child the freedom to enjoy it.
I like the blue one. My question is, how does Mommy help potty train her Son when Daddy is either not around all day or has an issue with Son seeing this private parts?
I love the sunflower potty!
Totally cute, my tip. Praise, lots of yelling, screaming and jumping around from Mommy, Daddy, siblings, heck, even the birds :)
I’d love to have this in pink. My tip is not to chastise them when they don’t quite make it. They’re just learning and mistakes still happen.
I’d love the potty in Snow White…
My tip would be just to let your child help to let you know when they are ready… Some kids can be trained early but some need more time! Don’t ignore signals from your little one!
The spring green is awesome. The best tip is to let THEM guide YOU as to when they are ready and just be patient!
I love the spring green color. My advice would be to wait until they are ready.
I like the Snow White one. Good for a girl or boy. Tip: Make a lot of to do when they go successfully (clap hands, praise..)
I like the spring green color
Purple. Tip: when my dd watches her potty videos and they get to the wiping part, she used to run and unroll the toilet paper in the bathroom, usually trashing the roll. I started saving rolls when they were almost used up so when she “trains” I give her the almost used up roll and she is happy and leaves the stuff in the bathroom alone. I need another potty chair so I don’t have to move hers up and down the stairs anymore!!!
I would love to win this for my son. He is just about ready to start potty training and the blue one would really help the training process.
I’d love to win the blue one.
My potty training tip is to have patience, and if you have the patience and the time, START EARLY.
Spring green. Put a Cheerio in the water and let them try to pee on it.
I would choose the pink. My tip is to use undies as much as possible, one day I ran out of pull ups for my daughter and I just told her that was it I wasn’t buying any more and she was going to have to wear her undies. She only had two accidents since then and both times she was outside playing and didn’t want to stop to pee.
I love the Green one.
My son is starting to show interest but how do you know if they are ready? Is it ever too early to try?
I love the sunflower one! Nice that they are offering more colors than just pink and blue… I’ve been reading about EC – which seems like way too much work for me, but I do like the idea of helping your kid realize when they are ready to pee/etc by pointing it out to them (when you notice “that” look on their face), so they don’t learn to ignore it before potty training time.
I would choose blue! My potty training tip is to skip the pull-ups. My daughter just uses them as regular diapers.
I would love to get the bright red one for my daughter (not going with Pink incase the next child is a boy)! No tips from me, I’ve been working with my daughter for almost a year, she’s 2 1/2 now and we still deal with at least 1 accident a day. We’ve read not to get upset with them when they don’t tell you they need to go potty. We’ve also started giving stickers everytime she goes in the potpot and putting them on a big piece of construction paper that is taped to her door.
I would like one in Sunflower. My question is: What do I do if my son doesn’t want to go in the potty, and doesn’t even want to go in his diaper because he knows I’ll interrupt his playing to change him? !?!?
Very cute chair! How do you get a stubborn little girl to go on the potty!?????
Pink of course for the princess in our home.
With my other kids, I have just let the potty training happen when they were ready, but the youngest is fighting it so hard. I think I will wait until she is 3 before completely losing it.
Patience and persistence. Ocean blue
Pink for me… What is the best age or development stage to start potty training? I think we will start as soon as she starts walking.
We love everything pink… And my best tip would be to let the child’s curiosity decide the time to start training b/c you might set yourself up for failure if you start too soon when they have no interest in going by themselves.
1) The red would match my boys’ bathroom nicely.
2) My question is: How do you get a boy who is potty trained during the day to wake up and use the potty at night? He potty trained VERY late and just doesn’t seem to care if he is sleeping in his own pee. YUCK!
The red is my favorite color and my question is really a request for someone else’s tips – as a single mother what are the best tricks for training a little boy??
Nice prize! purple potty please!
The white is my favorite. I’ve read that it’s best to wait until your child is aware enough of ‘down there’ that they can kinda give you a signal that they’re about to go. But ours is only 10 weeks old so what do I know?
Spring Green… How do you juggle potty training a kid who doesn’t want to (2.5 yr old), a baby sister (1 yr) and a busy schedule?!
I would choose the pink for the little girl that is on the way. My question is, which is harder to get trained, boys or girls????
1. I love the red one. 2. My best potty training suggestion is to be consistent. You cannot switch them from diapers to underwear. This confuses the child and could delay potty training
Ocean Blue. Introduce the child to the potty chair but then let them take charge. They will train when they are ready.
1. I would like blue
2. And I have a question. When is the proper time to start trying to potty train boys?
Ocean Blue would be great. My potty training tip would be for little boys, wait until the summer of their third birthday and let them go bottomless outside. They will enventually pee and start to slowly put together the concept of how their body works.
My son would love Ocean Blue and I would like to know when…when should I start. How should I start? What about Elimination Communication…
Great giveaway ,cute potty chair. I would like it in pink. My tip is , don’t rush a child to potty because they do not have control of their blatter before the age of 2 and we all know how different our bodies are,so don;t worry and allow them to learn without stress.
Love the giveaway! I would like pink!
My tip is to create a “potty chart” with their favorite character on it. Once a certain number of boxes is filled they get a surprise. After countless other ideas this worked on the FIRST row of the chart!
I like the Snow White chair. My hint is an old one: when potty training boys, throw a few Cheerios (or similar cereal) into the toilet and let them “sink the Cheerios”. It’s a fun way for them to develop their aim.
Bjorn never comes up short with any of their wonderful products. My favorite is the Spring Green.
Blue thanks!
I have to GO!
I LOVE Spring Green! My training tip is to let go yourself!!! It’s okay if your kid is the last of all his/her friends to use the potty. In fact, the less stress you put on it, the less problems you have with it.
Love the bright red followed by the ocean blues; we used the reward sticker program followed by the musical potty chair and it worked for the twins; many thanks; Happy 4th to ALL!!!!!!!!
i like the pink and my tip is you have to be consistent with putting kids on the potty :)
I would love to have a pink one. Calling nana and letting her know that my little one went potty seems to encourage my daughter to use it.
I prefer the snow white potty chair. Reward the child for going.
I’d love the BabyBjorn Potty chair in Sunflower — (all the colors are great actually). My potty training question is pretty basic: how do you know your child is ready?
Have to go with the pink. :) My tip is not to push the child. Introduce them to the idea and encourage them, but don’t force them.
