Ok.. it's time to start thinking about this. C's beginning to tell me when he needs a diaper!!!
What do you have and what do you like it/don't like about it?
I think I want one that sits on top of the regular toilet seat, rather than a stand-alone. That way, when we're out and about, he won't balk at going on a "big toilet."
TIA
Re: Potty seat reqs
bjorn. It was very stable and easy to put on and take off (it takes a few tries to fit it to your toilet). Down side is it is big so it doesn't travel well (we got the folding sesame street one - cause nothing says lovable and furry like a toilet seat - but it moves around a lot).
Good luck....just remember every child has a currency, you just need to figure out what yours is (if you are lucky just being a big boy will be reward enough)
I got two of these, so we can have one upstairs and one downstairs.

I wanted the cute character ones, but they didn't have two that matched in the store, and I did not want to risk possible "but I want the Elmo seat!" drama.
They are very easy to drop into place and take out, and seem very stable. DD has taken to reading a book while she sits there, so it has to be somewhat comfortable.

Bjorn all the way.
One of my twins will NOT sit on the regular potty at home- but when we are out he has no problem with it (have no idea why!).
Bjorn is the best - so easy to clean, no parts to get all gross that you can't clean well, etc.
they make little portable potty seats, too, in case you have a kid who won't sit on a toilet when you are out.
I thought a stand-alone would be easier to get used to at the beginning. Adrian is still not even remotely close to being potty-trained (I haven't been putting him on it much) so we'll see how that goes. So far he treats his potty like a toy (it's a frog shape, so he calls it "froggy") but pees in it when I put him naked on it. I also have to sit on the regular toilet and pee with him. He thinks it a riot but at least he pees. #2 is a different story, no success with that so far.
But he recently switched over to a toddler bed and we're still dealing with that transition, so potty training can wait.
