Baby Bjorn Potty Training Products

When my son first started potty training I looked for the best possible products to purchase and quickly found that Baby Bjorn, the name I trusted from my infant carrier, also provided potty training gear. And not just any potty training gear...products produced by a company (in Europe) that had clearly thought of everything!

Baby Bjorn potty training items look great (that's where the European connection never fails); kids are drawn to the colors while parents appreciate their modern and sophisticated angles and designs. Each product is made of PVC-free recyclable plastic and is Bisphenol-A (BPA) free. They are also all very useful...read more about each product's details below.

My first Baby Bjorn potty training item was the Potty Chair, the larger stand-alone "toilet." I thought my son would like to have his own special chair. It arrived and I quickly noticed the non-skid bottom and the easy-to-remove basin which I thought would be easy to clean. My son took to the vivid color right away and started sitting on it with his clothes on as a chair just out of the box. I thought, "Between me and Baby Bjorn, potty training should be a breeze!"

I called my mother to tell her the good news and she brought to my attention the fact that I would have to repeatedly use the aforementioned easy-to-remove basin...something I thought about for a half-second and decided against. Not to mention that I'd have another transition to get my son through from potty seat to real toilet. And I didn't see the additional step necessary...but each child is different.

So I quickly got on the computer and ordered a Baby Bjorn Toilet Trainer, the toilet seat insert. It arrived and was just what I had envisioned...it was great looking, had a handle for me to hang it next to the toilet, had a knob on the back to adjust it specifically to my toilet seat size, along with a non-skid rubber ring on it to hold it securely in place! Toilet training perfection! Well, at least the seat was perfection during the process...I can't say the same for my son and me!

For those of you in the Small Potty Camp, I suggest you also purchase the Little Potty to keep in your car, take on vacation or to keep at Grandma's house...and for only $9.99, the peace of mind that you always have a potty nearby is very comforting!

And for those of you in the Toilet Insert Camp, I suggest you also purchase the Safe Step. With it's non skid bottom and top, you don't have to worry about your child slipping when water inevitably falls on it during hand washing.

I know many of you are about to depart on the toilet training adventure this summer...and my first-hand experience recommendation is to purchase the Baby Bjorn toilet training products. And I wish you the best of luck.

Just remember, toilet training, like all other parenting milestones, despite seeming to take FOREVER, will be over in a blink of an eye. And if you're like me, you'll look back and think, "Now why was I so worked up over that?" And then you'll move on to another parenting obsession...or is that just me?
