Types Of Baby Potties
One of the most anticipated and at the same time most complicated stages of children is when they leave their diapers, or at least they are trying. For the little one to learn to relieve themselves in the bathroom is a challenge, but the good news is that there are different types of baby potties that can help us.
When to use the potty?
Between the ages of two and three, children are physically and developmentally able to put down diapers. This stage is usually quite conflictive and important because, ultimately, it is a clear sign of its development. Nobody says that it is easy and accidents will be the order of the day, but if we go through this stage in the best possible way, it will be less traumatic and complicated for everyone.
The urinal will be a great ally at this time, and it is necessary that we choose one based on its practicality and comfort, not so much on its price or striking colors. Basically, it has to fulfill its objective and allow the child to feel safe and comfortable when he has to spend several minutes sitting in the same position.
Urinal or toilet adapter?
First of all, we should decide which ‘side’ we are on : if the parents who prefer their children to use a potty or those who buy a toilet adapter or reducer. There are even those who have both options, depending on the occasion.
The advantages of the potty are that, at first, children feel more comfortable and safe because they touch the floor with their feet. Also, if they go to nursery school, it is the object they use and it is better that they get used to only one option. Do not forget that routine in children is essential.
Although the potty has the disadvantage that it must be unloaded and cleaned every time the child relieves himself, the good thing is that the little one will feel more confident and will have something that is just for him. Later, we can buy a regulator and move on to the next stage.
This will, of course, involve double learning and more patience on the part of the parents. However, the good thing is that the ‘basic’ process will already be learned and it will be just a matter of changing the scene, to call it somehow.
What types of baby urinals are there
Today, we have endless possibilities to buy an arsenal of products and objects for the baby. The potty is no exception: they come in every color, size and shape you can imagine! We could divide them into four groups:
1. Potty with music
In this first team, there are those models of urinals that, in addition to having a fun design, offer different fun music. Since not all children sit for long periods of time, hearing songs makes them stay on the potty for at least a few more minutes.
2. Types of urinals: urinal without music
These ‘basic’ urinals, so to speak, do not have as much technology as the previous ones; of course they are much more affordable. This is not to say that they are not comfortable or colorful, but they may require a little more inventiveness on the part of the parents for the children to stay put. For example, a story can be read to them.
3. Types of urinals: 3-in-1 urinal
This option is one of the most interesting, due to its adaptability according to the situation. It is formed, as its name indicates, in three parts. One is the urinal itself, with a container that can be easily removed for emptying; another is the adapter for the toilet; while the third is the structure that contains everything and that becomes a seat or bench. It is a perfect potty for the little one to stand up and reach the sink.
4. Travel potty
If we just go on vacation when we are in full ‘mission to leave the diaper’, we can use this type of potty. It comes with an adapter for the toilet, it is foldable, compact, easy to wash and transport. We can also take it if we visit a house, if we do not want our child to have to ‘go back’ to diapers.
Of course, there are more types of baby potties, although these four are the best known and most popular. Do not hesitate to visit the markets and check options and prices; You will see that effort and patience will pay off! In addition, your child will be very happy to use his new potty and will also learn how to use it much faster if he likes it. The diaper operation will be like a breeze! You will all be delighted at home with the choice you have made!
