BabyBjörn Potty Chair - Blue Reviews

• The MOST SUCCESS of them all!

  
  By A3MA86XP7FF7Y5 on 2005-07-25
  We are currently training our 2nd child. With our first, we had 3 in diapers, giving us MAJOR motivation to get him potty trained, so we tried almost every seat out there. Most of them were okay, but just got nasty quckly, were hard to disinfect, or were uncomfortable for my son. The ones with the removable splash gaurd are not gentle and can scrape a child's sensitive parts. Those were awful. We were "potty training" for a full year before we finally saw the BabyBjorn potty chair in a local botique, and DS immediately sat in it. He chose blue, and we took it home. Within a week, he was trained, and began using the "big boy seat", so we saved the seat for our daughter. It was incredable! Now our 23 month old daughter is training. We bought her this white babybjorn seat for our downstairs bathroom, with the blue upstairs. She has been "training" for 6 days now, and is almost completely day trained!
  
  This seat is by far the best in our experiences. Here's why: 1. the seat has a higher back and sides, which gives the child support while sitting down, standing up, or simply sitting there. 2. It is NOT easy to tip! several of the others we tried tipped without much effort when our child was putting pressure on the sides trying to sit down or stand. 3. It is super easy to clean - there aren't a bunch of seams to gather gunk, it's easy to wipe down with a clorox wipe and be done. It's also super easy to take the little bucket out, and soak in clorox or hose down. 4. Kids can choose what color they want! This was such a big deal to my children --- also, they are solid colors that can look nice with your bathroom. The surface is also nice that your child can decorate the back with cute stickers if wanted. 5. It works for children of all different sizes! My son was 40" and 42lbs when potty training, and my daughter is 25lbs and a little shrimp, and this seat fit them both WONDERFULLY.
  
  Overall, having tried MANY seats, this one was the absolute best for both our children, and I would highly reccomend it to anyone in need of a seat for potty training success~!
  
  

• Great potty, especially for boys!

  I had a Safety 1st potty that I just hated before I bought this Baby Bjorn potty. It leaked, its round opening was WAY too small, and I had a ton of problems with my son leaking all over the front and on to the floor. Plus it came apart in many pieces and had lots of spots bacteria could hide. The Baby Bjorn takes care of all the problems I had with the Safety 1st potty!
  
  The simple construction is so sanitary and easy to clean. There are no little places for bacteria to collect.
  
  The opening is bigger than other potty chairs and oblong instead of round, so no more pooping on the seat. This alone would have sold me on this potty.
  
  The splash guard is great for boys. No more peeing off the front of the potty and no flimsy detachable splash guards that flip down into the seat.
  
  It has a nice rubber grip on the bottom to keep it in the same place on the floor.
  
  Another plus is that it's nice looking and blends in with the rest of the bathroom.
  
  I'm very happy with the quality and design of this potty and I have NO complaints!
  
  

• I like the Baby Bjorn potty seat better

  
  By AG72MWQOJJD6I on 2002-02-02
  My son is 23 months old, and I bought this product and the Baby Bjorn potty seat that goes on the big toilet, thinking I would try them both and see which he liked best. He is scared of the potty chair now because the splash guard in the front "surprises" him when he sits down sometimes, and he gets hurt. He refusus to sit on it now, and only wants to use the potty seat on the big toilet - fine with me because it is easier to clean. The potty chair is narrow, and although my son is on the very skinny side, he sees kind of wedged in there when he sits on it. It doesn't seem that comfortable for his little tushie. I bought the white model, and did not realize that the plastic potty bowl on it is black. This makes it hard to tell when it is really clean. I would give this chair some points for being compact, not taking up much space in the bathroom, and being attractive looking and sturdy. However, it just doesn't seem comfortable for my boy. In my opinion, it does not live up to the quality I expect from baby bjorn products. I do, however, love the Baby Bjorn potty seat that goes on the big toilet, as it is VERY comfortable and seems well-designed for a boy to use. Such a contrast between these two products! Maybe the potty chair would work better for a girl who does not have those "delicate parts" to get hurt by the splash guard.
  
  

• the best chair ever!!!!!

  
  By A2V9LP1YA7NWY1 on 2002-07-30
  I started potty training my son early (at 11 months). Since I didn't have any other kids, I had no idea which chair to try. I first bought the safety first chair and it leaked, tipped over, and the deflector pinched my son. All of the chairs that I tried were too tall and my son couldn't touch the floor with his feet. Most of the chairs were just a plain seat, with no back or sides, and nothing to hold on to. WHat a nightmare! I decided to go back to [the store] and try another chair. While in the store I let my son sit (fully clothed) on the Baby Bjorn potty chair...he loved it so much! He cried when I took him off of it! It has a good deflector that is not able to pinch, it has a wide and deep bowl which makes cleaning a breeze, and it's design with a high back and sides make it comfy. It is also low enough that my son can easily get on and off my himself. I will definately use the Bjorn products for potty training from now on!
  
  

• Simplest yet the best

  
  By on 2001-08-26
  This potty chair doesn't come with all the whistles and bells like other potties. But is the best. When i was shopping for a potty, i read the reviews and then went to the store to "explore" for myself. i wasn't convinced of any other potty. why? 'cause all the others either didn't sit sturdily on the floor (and this is w/o a child sitting on it)or were difficult to clean. This potty is simple and sturdy, gets the job done, comfy (my picky daughter never complained, she likes the teddy bear logo on it), and so easy to clean. Never had a spill too. Besides, potty training should be as simple and natural as possible, so choose a simple potty. i have 2 of this item (1 downstairs and 1 upstairs, now thinking of using 1 at home and 1 for the car).there's plenty of space to stick stickers as a reward everytime she goes potty too.
  
  
• Simply the best out there...
  By A3C7MGYLZ7REYL on 2006-04-03
  After extensive research, I finally settled on this potty chair and I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I, like many other reviewers, was intially put off by the $22 price tag.
  
  The problem I have with many baby products today is that companies try to make something a "new concept" by adding bells and whistles or attempting to make things multi-purpose. Don't get me wrong, I love technology and my daughter has tons of electronic gadgets, but potty chairs should not double as toys. Nor do I care to have my child using her potty in the future to stand on to reach the sink.
  
  This is exactly what a potty should be... a potty and nothing else. Its ergonomic design and rubber bottom makes it comfortable and stable, even on carpet. It looks remarkably similar to a real potty because if its smooth, white finish. When I got it home my 16-month-old daughter immediately knew what it was and wanted to sit on it. She now loves to sit on the potty and this one appears to be very comfortable for her.
  
  In a nutshell, it is simply made, easy to clean and perfect for potty training.
  
  
• Warning to Moms of Boys- Pee ALL over EVERY time!!!
  By AGCBCK9Q65M65 on 2002-10-19
  I am VERY disappointed with this potty chair! It got rave reviews on this site- so I rushed right out to my nearest Babies R Us store and purchased it. Now I wish I hadent! First of all, my son has used it seven times in the last two days. And, ALL seven times... we had pee all over the floor- down his legs- on us (we were in front of him). It's not even a result of 'position' on the chair. I sit him all the way back-... I'm at whitts end with this darn thing! He doesn't even like sitting on it. I have to agree with one of the other reviewers... it's is WAY too narrow for children of potty training ages. My son is 14 monts old, average size... and it's small for him... VERY disappointed. I guess the only advantage I can see to this one that the splash guard is attached so my son can't rip it off. Although, what good is it if the pee goes up and over the top?! Oh- and when my son stands up- the potty collection bucket sticks to his rear and wants to pop out with him. Then, when I safely get the collection pan back into the pot,it's a fight to keep him from taking it out (and spilling contents) all over. Never thought of those problems with this design, but something to consider when contemplating purchase of this product. So, if you have a [small child],don't mind pee all over the floor, and don't mind the pot (and it's contents)coming up with your little one, by all means... rush right out and buy it!
  
  
• The best potty around....
  By ANFKMBJBD3VNF on 2002-08-24
  We had to buy 3 potties before going for this one. We tried: Graco with soft seat, but its splashguard comed right off; the 1st years 3-in-1 potty had a hole that was located too close to the back thus making it very uncomfortable for a boy, because everything got mashed; and a musical potty by safety 1st, which leaked. This potty finally works! But I am so surprised to find that there is no perfect potty on the market! Looks like consumer reports haven't done much job; one way or the other, big brands have left out our little kid's bottoms with POOR CHOICES, of which the best(truly) here to present - baby bjorn potty chair...hope kids of my kids will do better.
  
  
• Not for bigger kids
  By A37F2PVS4BROAI on 2005-11-17
  I got this potty because I found it the most simple and aesthetically pleasing. While my daughter used it at first for a few days, she has since complained about the seam between the "bowl" and the "chair" (She points to the seam along the back of the chair, wiggles the bowl, says "back and forth . . . don't like. . .owwie".) As a 30 lb. 2 year old, she's on the big side and I think that this chair is just uncomfortable for her. She actually now refuses to use it and has asked me for a "new potty"
  
  
• Happy with our purchase
  By A2WMEDQT6EL5FM on 2002-05-19
  We bought this Bjiorn potty seat 3 years ago, and both our daugher and son love it. I'm particularly pleased with the splashguard feature on the front, as little boys (and come to think of it, grown men as well!) tend to have bad aim. The highback chair allows your child to relax and sit back (something you may both have to do for a while when they first start training!) The white seat comes out to empty into the toilet- which is the only downside. We also have a potty seat that fits on the big toilet, and it is nice not to have to clean the little potty out when they use that one. Still, the kids prefer their Bjiorn. In fact, the best potty training tool came to me when my 3 year old sat on the potty seat on the toilet and put his extra-large Pooh bear on the Bjiorn potty. Either way, it's getting its use!
  
  
• The best potty chair out there!
  By A2HM4AN2WEKUSU on 2006-08-01
  This is our fifth piece of potty equipment. We have two potty chairs and three potty toppers. The Bjorn ones are the best of both. Our old potty chair, a First Years one, is just too small for my 2yo son. He's just a little above average in size and just turned 2 a few months ago. He doesn't fit on it at all. Not all of his "parts" fit into the bowl and pee goes everywhere. With the Bjorn chair, he can easily sit down himself. All his parts fit inside so there is never a mess. And there is plenty of room for growth. In fact, my 4yo can sit on it also and fits fine. He's a bit on the tall and skinny side though.
  
  Unlike our old potty, it is very easy to clean. The bowl is all one piece of smooth plastic, with no grooves or indentations to hinder cleaning. The bowl sits fully on the base, so the pee doesn't leak around the seam and onto the floor like our old potty. The bowl is contoured and comfortable. We have never found the splash guard to get in the way of anything. It performs as intended with no problems. There are also grips on the bottom which keeps the seat in place on the floor. Our other potty could easily tip over and slide across the floor. The way the front of the seat is contoured makes it comfortable to sit for my son, his legs sit comfortably on each side of the potty chair. The bowl itself is also easy for my son to carry because of the way it is shaped. I have him carry the bowl to the big toilet to dump its contents.
  
  We also have the Bjorn potty topper which I also highly recommend. All one piece which makes it easier to clean. And nicely contoured again for comfort. The adjustable knob in back also keeps it sitting securely on the toilet and it doesn't slide around. It is much better than our old one that was actually two pieces and just awful to clean. You can imagine what got in between the two pieces. Yuck!
  
  We have the Ocean Blue Bjorn potty seat and it's quite attractive (considering it's purpose!). The white bowl is easy to clean. Obviously, if you can get your child to go straight to the big toilet with a topper, that is ideal, but not every kid wants to do that. My first son was scared of the big toilet for 6 months! Also, our bathroom is a fair distance from the family room, so having this potty in the family room allows us to catch our son quickly when we see that he has to go. If we had to carry him all the way to the bathroom, he probably wouldn't make it. You can also use it in the car for travel quite well.
  
  My 2yo son has only peed on the potty (little or big) a few times until we got this one. He peed on it within an hour of pulling it out of the box. And in the week since we've had it, he has started to do the big job on this potty once a day too, in addition to peeing on it several times a day. Maybe this one will learn to use the potty quicker than his brother! One can only hope.
  
  
• What a dissappointment!
  By A29ARL4OYE7ND5 on 2005-08-15
  I bought this potty based on the review of others. I purchased it for my son who will be turning three and was very hesitant about training on the normal toilet. This potty does have a larger seat, however, it's urine deflector is not tall enough and the urine leaks through the bottom. It is very easy to clean but I would recommend this potty for girls only.
  
  
• Very uncomfortable
  By A2WMWA36MUBB1Z on 2006-03-13
  My 19mo daughter was SO excited to receive her very own potty and her and I were both very disappointed with the potty the very first time she sat on it. The built in guard made it difficult for her to sit on the potty w/o assistance. She needed handles to hold on to while she sat down and this potty doesn't really have handles. The arm rests are too far back for her to hold on to while sitting on or getting off of this potty. The collection bowl is very narrow which isn't an issue however the molded plastic is very rough on that sensitive little tooshie. She only needs to sit on it for 30 seconds and she has a bright red ring around her bottom. Getting off of the potty is difficult as well as I stated before she likes her handles. Before the potty arrived she was asking to sit on the big potty several times a day and now that she has her own to sit on she is not asking nearly as much. It is obvious that she is very uncomfortable. I tried turning the collection bowl around so that the guard is in the back but the potty is not made to be in this position. It does not fit correctly and she is not able to sit back against the back rest. It is however slightly more comfortable for her legs. My daughter likes to pick the potty up and carry it around (silly girl) and I do like how it doesn't fall apart when she does this. I think if she were to do this with any other potty on the market they would fall apart. I must say I am not at all impressed with this potty and am very disappointed with baby bjorn.
  
  
• Great potty for boys!
  By A1UP7JF0DVNFQG on 2007-02-09
  I recently purchased this potty for my 16 month old son. We are not actively training but I wanted to introduce him to it. The first night I got it, he went pee pee and boo boo in it. I screamed and clapped and sang a little song. He really likes it. He even brought it out of the bathroom and took it into the living room to watch The Wiggles while sitting in it. I like the color, and how it fits his size. He can sit on it and get up all by himself. Its very sturdy, it doesn't wobble or tip over like some do. One reviewer said the sprout was a little short, but I haven't had a problem. My son tends to look down at himself while he's going, so everything is pointing south anyway. I love that there are only 2 pieces to this chair. Very easy to clean. I had a safety 1st chair with the flip top lid and the detachable sprout and I absolutely hated this thing. My son would pull of the sprout and walk around the house with it. He was too concerned with the lid and turning around on the chair to pull the lid up and down instead of concentrating on trying to go potty. With the baby bjorn there are no distractions, no music, no removable pieces(except the bowl)which allows him focus on going potty. I just really like this potty chair. I would highly recommend this chair.
  
  
• Very comfortable
  By A2IAKZ4YK389UQ on 2005-09-30
  It is one of the most stable, comfortable and "consistant" seat I have found. My 18 month old daughter can get on and off by her self and hits the target every time. The hole is larger than any other I've seen.
  
  
• Easy to clean, but disappointed
  By A1K5BJVWW3WM0P on 2006-02-06
  I bought this potty for my 26 month old son. I agree with the other reviewers that this potty is a breeze to empty and clean, with no hidden cracks or crevices to collect bacteria. However, this potty just doesn't work for little boys. The pee guard isn't high enough and, even though he aims down, every time my son pees it runs down the front and all over the floor. The guard needs to be higher for little boys!
  
  
• Great potty chair
  By A1MNQF4ZNK2L6W on 2006-01-23
  I just got this potty chair for my almost 10 month old son. Like another reviewer said, I don't intend to potty train him now but just let him get used to sitting on a potty chair. He loves to sit on it and look at a book. It is the perfect size and shape for little ones just learning to sit on a potty. I like how my son can sort of straddle it and sit securely with the high back to support him. Other chairs seem like they would be awkward and hard for toddlers to keep their balance when getting off. Not this one-my son can stand right up without scraping himself on the splash guard. The design is great. It is easy to pick up the bowl part to empty it and then rinse it right out. My son looked really comfortable sitting on it and to my surprise he's even pottied on it 3 times already since I got it, about 3 days ago. I highly recommend this potty chair over the other ones, even though they might look nicer and cost less.
  
  
• Not impressed!
  By AM5R8VVYLCUK9 on 2006-03-13
  I bought this potty after reading the reviews thinking this sounded like a great potty chair. I am not happy with it at all. My son is 30 lbs and almost 3 feet tall at not quite 2 years old. The potty seat is too small, it leaves a red ring on his bottom and when he stands up, it sticks to him. However, that's not the worst part. My son is afraid to sit on it by himself because he's accidentally sat on the splash guard and poked himself more than once. Also when he pees it goes up the splash guard and right out of the potty. There's more pee on the floor than in the potty. My son freaked out the first time it happened because he had pee all over him. I would not buy this potty seat for boys especially larger ones.
  
  
• The best potty chair
  By on 2002-03-13
  I have boy/girl twins and we tried 2 or 3 different potty chairs before I found the Baby Bjorn. It is the only one I tried that does not leak. The built in splash guard at the front is great. The other chairs had a splash guard that was removable my kids immediately removed it and lost it. The Baby Bjorn chair is sturdy and all edges are smooth. The insert goes in from the top and is easily removed. The other potty chairs with the inserts underneath were very difficult to get postitioned correctly and remove without spilling.
  
  
• great chair
  By A3CV194DO0MDA1 on 2006-03-02
  This is a great potty chair. I had a Safety 1st potty chair/step stool combo chair that didn't work out because my son likes to dump the potty by himself and in order to do that he had to lift the chair apart and then pull out the bowl. It was always messy. This chair is wonderful in that the bowl fits nicely on top of the seat so he just lifts it straight up and out and is able to dump it easily. With the Safety 1st model and others, there are lots of spots and crevices under the bowl where the spills get caught. This Bjorn potty chair is simply constructed so it is easy to clean.
  
  
• DID THE TRICK!!!
  By A1RTG5OKSGC4AO on 2007-03-11
  I DECIDED TO POTTY TRAIN MY SON USING JUST A POTTY TOPPER AND A STOOL. HE REALLY LOVES TO DO THINGS ALL BY HIMSELF JUST LIKE MOMMY AND DADDY SO I FIGURED THAT WOULD WORK BEST FOR HIM. NO MATTER WHAT I DID HE CONTINUED TO HAVE ACCIDENT AFTER ACCIDENT. WE WOULD SIT IN THE BATHROOM FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AND HE WOULD ALWAYS PEE AFTER I TOOK HIM OFF THE POTTY. I DECIDED THAT GETTING HIM HIS OWN POTTY SEAT WOULD ENABLE HIM TO SIT ON THE POTTY FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME, INFRONT OF THE TV OR IN THE LIVING ROOM, WITH THE FAMILY, OR IN HIS ROOM. I THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT BE JUST THE THING TO MAKE HIM UNDERSTAND SO I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO PICK ONE OUT. I PICKED THE BABYBJORN POTTY CHAIR BECAUSE OF THE SIMPLICITY OF THE DESIGN, EASY CLEAN UP AND THE DEFLECTOR. MOST SEATS HAVE VERY SMALL DEFLECTORS OR NONE AT ALL. SOME HAVE DEFLECTORS THAT DON'T STAY PUT. I ALSO LIKED THAT IS WAS DESIGNED TO STAY ON THE FLOOR AND NOT SLIP, SLIDE, OR GET STUCK TO THE CHILD.
  
  THE DAY THIS ARRIVED MY SON HAD HAD THREE CONSECUTIVE ACCIDENTS TO SPITE THAT FACT THAT WE HAD SPEND MOST OF THE DAY IN THE BATHROOM. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GIVE UP AND PUT HIM BACK IN PULL UPS WHEN IT FINALLY ARRIVED. HE WAS SCARED AT FIRST BUT I TOLD HIM THAT THIS WAS HIS VERY OWN NEW POTTY CHAIR AND THE SECOND HE SAT DOWN HE PEED IN IT!!! I LET HIM TAKE THE POT TO THE BIG POTTY AND DUMP IT WITH ME AND THAT WAS IT! HE WAS HOOKED. I DIDN'T EVEN NEED TO ENCOURAGE HIM ANYMORE OR HARASS HIM TO SIT DOWN. HE WOULD JUST RUN RIGHT OVER AND PEE AND THEN DECLARE "I DID IT!!!! MOMMY HELP ME DUMP IT." HE ONLY USED THIS POTTY CHAIR FOR ONLY ONE DAY BUT IT WAS DEFINETLY WHAT HE NEEDED TO GET THE IDEA. THE VERY NEXT MORNING HE SAID THAT HE WANTED TO USE THE BIG POTTY NOW AND HAS NEVER LOOKED BACK. WE USE THE POTTY CHAIR NOW FOR OUTINGS. IT IS GREAT! EASY TO CLEAN AND EASY TO BRING ALONG IN THE CAR!!! I WOULD HAVE GIVEN 5 STARS IF NOT FOR THE FACT THAT THE DEFLECTOR IS JUST A BIT LOW. IF MY SON WASN'T LEANING FORWARD TO WATCH HIMSELF PEE IT WOULD BE A CLOSE CALL.
  
  THERE WERE A FEW REVIEWS THAT STATED THAT THEIR CHILD'S LEGS WERE BEING SQUISHED BECAUSE OF THE DEFLECTOR BEING SO WIDE...MY SON WILL BE 3 IN 2 MONTHS AND HE IS A BIG BOY IN THE TOP 75 PERCENT FOR HEIGHT AND WEIGHT AND HE FIT FINE WITH LOTS OF ROOM TO SPARE!!! THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT CONCERNED ME WHEN I READ THE REVIEWS.
  
  
• a wonderful seat for potty training!
  By A33KV3JIX2C10P on 2002-07-21
  My 26-month-old daughter started sitting on this potty seat when she was 18 months old, and she loves it. She finds it comfortable and will sit on it for a long time. The removeable white seat makes cleaning very easy. This is a wonderful seat for potty training and definitely worth the money!
  
  
• Great Potty !!!
  By A3FRBA0GACED99 on 2005-10-01
  I had purchased at first just a regular potty from a local store and didnt think it would be a big deal a potty is a potty.. well i was wrong after buying the first one my daughter would turn herself around on it and it had nooks and cranies where germs would stay since it was hard to clean... i then read the reviews for the baby bjorn potty and knew this was the one my daughter is small and it fits her like a glove and she doesnt do the spins anymore and it is so easy to clean with everything a smooth surface... i would highly recommend this one to anyone who is looking for a good potty
  
  
• Fantastic & SIMPLE!
  By A1T4WFH42P87Z0 on 2006-01-16
  We bought another potty with a detachable soft seat which can be used on a regular toilet and the potty can convert to a step. Fisher Price maybe? We thought it was great and put up with the pee leaking out and the guard that didnt work untill one day no matter how much I cleaned it, it smelled like pee. We found out the cushion detaches from the handles and was a nice little pocket for pee to dry in. After reading recomendations from Toddler Bargains (the best book!) we decided on the little Bjorn potty. Mainly due to the one piece construction. Once it arrived we were a bit surprised to see how small it was and my sons knees were nearly up to his chest. Oddly enough, he LOVES it. It goes to show you, they know what they like better than us. The straddle design is so much smarter than the stupid splash guards. We rarely have flyaway pee to deal with now (though thats normally due to sticking issues... boy stuff I dont understand cause Im a girl). The entire potty is nearly the same size as the removable bucket from our other one, so carrying the whole thing to dump isnt an issue. I really just love how there is no cracks or anything to clean. Its a simple swipe with a lysol cloth and were all done! Leave it to Baby Bjorn, they always know what works best. (oh, by the way, we often forget that its easier to push things out when our knees are up, but think child birth, and the stomach flu...) We have decided to buy three, one for the car, one upstairs and one downstairs. It works wonderfully in the car too!
  
  
• Best potty chair out there for a boy
  By A1KP8VZQHMZJQW on 2006-03-15
  I can't say enough good about this potty chair. It's inexpensive (but very well made), SUPER easy to clean, has a very comfortable splash guard for boys and is comfortable (I'm assuming). I originally bought the Safety 1st Potty Chair/stool. Don't like it at all. Tough to clean (lots of spaces for urine to get) and I don't think it's very comfortable as my son refused to sit on it. Within 20 seconds of sitting on the Baby Bjorn he peed. Refused for weeks to do that with the Safety 1st. Great product. Can't say enough good about it.
  From a parent's stand point, it's the best b/c it's soooo easy to clean. I'm not clean freak, but this is a huge benefit with anything in the bathroom.
  Kudos to Baby Bjorn for a simple product.

  By A36JV6ET1HUYKI on 2006-05-08
  If you are looking for a smaller sized potty LOOK NO FURTHER! My girls are consider very small for their ages. My 21 month old daughter (She is the one the seat is for) weights about 19lbs and wears a size 3 diaper with room to grow.
  
  this seat is PERFECT for her. she doesn't fall in. I love Graco and i have the training rewards potty from my other daughter but the little one slides through the seat w/ a diaper.
  
  I find it easy to clean too. She has only went #1 once so far but that's another story LOL.
  
  I give it a 4 only because I don't think it would be good for older kids or babies big for their age trying to train. I'm thinking from the looks of it, it can hold a child up to 25 lbs give or take. Nor can i say how good or bad it is for boys.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Best potty chair-mom x 3
  By ANQS3YQRNARBU on 2006-01-15
  This is by far the best potty chair. I bought the BabyBjorn because I wanted something no-nonsense (no music, flushing sounds etc). This potty chair is sturdy, has a large splash guard, and very sanitary---only 2 pieces. It has never leaked, unlike some others I had when my older children were potty training. It must be comfortable, because my son sits on it in his clothes to read books. I would definitely recommend this potty chair. Great purchase!

I screamed and clapped and sang a little song. He really likes it. He even brought it out of the bathroom and took it into the living room to watch The Wiggles while sitting in it. I like the color, and how it fits his size(He's 27lbs and 32 inches tall). He can sit on it and get up all by himself. Its very sturdy, it doesn't wobble or tip over like some do. My son has even held onto one of the sides (while sitting on it) and leaned over to pick up one of his books and the potty didn't tip at all. One reviewer said the splashguard was a little short, but I haven't had a problem. My son tends to look down at himself while he's going, so everything is pointing south anyway. I love that there are only 2 pieces to this chair. Very easy to clean. I had a safety 1st chair with the flip top lid and the detachable splashguard and I absolutely hated this thing. My son would pull off the splashguard and walk around the house with it. He was too concerned with the lid and turning around on the chair to pull the lid up and down instead of concentrating on trying to go potty. With the baby bjorn there are no distractions, no music, no removable pieces(except the bowl)which allows him to focus on going potty. I just really like this potty chair. I would highly recommend this chair.

  There's no need for buttons that play music or a 'play' flusher that makes sounds. My son was very distracted by all the bells and whistles of another brand, that he didn't even want to try it. He absolutely loves his Baby Bjorn potty chair! We got one in white and a stool to match. It took him one week to learn how to use it! He's only 19 mos. now and only uses it before and after the bath (which is a great start!) It's a simple design and he looks pretty comfy in it. The part you take out and clean doesn't lift up when he stands up (like other chairs I've heard of). I just throw out the waste in the toilet, rinse it out in the sink, then wipe clean and dry with a Clorox disinfecting wipe. So easy... buy one now!
  
  
• The Perfect Potty Chair
  By A38EMZGWWB69YU on 2006-07-20
  I am so grateful that I found this potty for my son. It is really the perfect potty chair. It is so well designed. It is sturdy and does not tip at all, even if he leans on just one of the arms or kicks it, etc. It has a nice high back to give him support and is the perfect height. It has a deflector that is part of the bowl, so that it is all one piece, which is very important for little boys. (Due to this design feature we have not had any problem with the pee going anywhere but in the bowl) It is also super easy to clean. Just remove the bowl, dump in the big toliet, wipe with tissue and a Lysol wipe and you are done. Simple, simple, simple. Best of all, my son actually uses this potty and is very successful with it. Once again, Baby Bjorn lives up to its reputation.
  
  We had also tried the "Once Upon a Potty" potty chair, but it was too hard to clean out (no removeable bowl).
