Would you use the same potty chair for more than one child?

With DD, we didn't use the potty chair just used it as a stool. She used the rings for the toliet much better.  

DS1 needed some incentive to poop on the potty, so we let him try the potty chair and it worked for a while however we don't need it anymore.  I could make it back a stool however I wonder if him seeing it will lead back him wanting to use it.  Currently its stored in the garage.

I will eventually have another PTer...countdown to "no more diapers ever" is on.  

Should I keep or toss the chair ? ...something sounds icky about it but also seems wasteful to get rid of.

Well, I have 2 potty chairs, and they have both used each of them.   If they were old and dirty looking, I'd toss them, but both look brand new so my 3rd will be using the same chairs.

Yep, DD used the same chair that DS had. The one he had sounds like what you're describing; you can use it as a little potty or it turn into a potty ring and the base makes a stool. We mostly used it as the latter with DS and when DD PTd, we did the same and used it as a potty ring upstairs. We bought another potty ring for downstairs.

I guess I didn't see any reason not to re-use it. There was nothing wrong with it and DS didn't use it for very long anyway.

I would. Wash it really well now and wrap it in a small trashbag or something if you store it where it may get dirty. I dont like to get rid of anything though

I would. I have to share my potty with DH, haha. But seriously, I clean the potty every night with wipes, so it's probably cleaner than our toilet.
