My son doesn't want to sit, he straddle the potty. Does anyone else have a straddler?

My son did the same thing for 1 day. I figured he was trying to pee like Dad by kind of standing over it. I told him we sit on this potty and that it makes messes if he does that. Later we trained him to stand at the big one like Dad since he showed interest by standing at his potty. Maybe that is what your son is trying to do? He might want to be a stander.

If you would like for your toddler to feel secure, it always helps to have a step stool that they can firmly place their feet on when sitting on the adult size potty. This will add more security than the handles on the seat reducer.

I have a 27 mo old boy, who squirms off as soon as possible..no pinching, in spite of quick movements.

I use this for my son. You have to point his weewee down, otherwise you're right, he will pee all over you. It has it's pro's and con's and I'd rather have him sit on this than sit on the nasty public toilets... which also do not aim for them either. And getting them to pee standing up is a whole other ballgame.

Yes, I think so. I was worried that it would be too high for my then 15 month old to use independently, but it is perfect. It is the best potty I have seen. I only wish that it was still one piece like it used to be. I would absolutely recommend.

A lot of that has to do with whether or not your child can sit up on their own. We used a baby tub, then transitioned over to using it in the regular tub. No problems.

It is difficult. It would be good if you could make the straddle where it would snap for small babies and unsnap as the baby gets a little larger. I think the straddle piece is the problem. I have to have a second person to help me a fish him out. He is at a weight that i don't think he need the straddle piece. He is about 28 pounds now and 18 months old. Don't see it a hazard removing the straddle at this weight and age. I don't use everyday being that I am the grandparent but it would be a hassle used everyday by myself.

i used this exact one with my first son and he loved it. only thing i didnt like was that because the seat is detachable and able to use on a regular toilet, it is always coming off and kind of a pain in the butt to keep having to adjust and fix. i dont know why it says "not for boys" when there is a built in pee guard (the green cup in the boys picture) for the boys.

Every child is different but my child really did not care to sit in this. I tried the Bumbo, the Mega Seat and did not have luck with either. The bumbo did not fit my little guy's chubby legs and the mega seat was okay but has a bump up in the front where the legs are so they are sort of elevated upwards slightly and I worried about his circulation. I finally had luck with the Summer 3-Stage SuperSeat. It has the cushiony support of the bumbo, can fit his legs just fine and he actually likes to sit in it and play with the toys! Wish I had seen this one first! You can remove the tray if you just want the seat. I really like it. I would skip the Sit-Me-Up.

Yes the child seat seemed to come off very easily. We didn't have any kind of step stool for our 3 yr old to get up on the toilet and I found that when he climbed up & scooted hit bottom back & forth to position himself that little child seat would unsnap nearly every time. Was kind of a pain. He's almost 4 now & no longer uses it. He just sits on regular seat.

It works comfortably for my daughter. It may not be the best choice if your child is one to sit on the potty for long periods of time before actually going, but then again I don't think many potty seats would be comfortable for that long. We haven't had any problems with it for lack of comfort. It's handy to have. We don't use it in the house but keep it in our vehicle for use on the go. It has saved us a few times when we were on the road and wouldn't have been able to get to a restroom in time.

Hi Stacy. Any updates on your little guy with this potty? My cat is the same way, and I'm thinking about getting one of the grass potty for her.

I have a baby trend. Its a pain in the toosh to get on when the baby is in the seat though. FYI.. I haven't used mine yet.

I'm not sure. Mine would pee and pooh, but once I got to the smallest ring he was too large to balance on the side of the toilet, so I had to quit trying. I'm still trying to figure out a way to make it work. If you find a solution, please let me know.

Hi Erin, I have not tried the other potty. This one works great. It folds up. It is sturdy even for my almost 40lb 2 yr old. The bags that go along with this are easy to hook in place and stay there while he is using it.

No. My boy would try siting and broke a clip making the glider wobble. I didn't feel confortable keeping him in it after. But he loved it!
