Review by Leanne Owens "Riley's Mom" : Simply the best out there...

After extensive research, I finally settled on this potty chair and I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I, like many other reviewers, was intially put off by the $22 price tag.

The problem I have with many baby products today is that companies try to make something a "new concept" by adding bells and whistles or attempting to make things multi-purpose. Don't get me wrong, I love technology and my daughter has tons of electronic gadgets, but potty chairs should not double as toys. Nor do I care to have my child using her potty in the future to stand on to reach the sink.

This is exactly what a potty should be... a potty and nothing else. Its ergonomic design and rubber bottom makes it comfortable and stable, even on carpet. It looks remarkably similar to a real potty because if its smooth, white finish. When I got it home my 16-month-old daughter immediately knew what it was and wanted to sit on it. She now loves to sit on the potty and this one appears to be very comfortable for her.

In a nutshell, it is simply made, easy to clean and perfect for potty training.

Review by Shaz "oi-you!" : Happy with our purchase

We bought this Bjiorn potty seat 3 years ago, and both our daugher and son love it. I'm particularly pleased with the splashguard feature on the front, as little boys (and come to think of it, grown men as well!) tend to have bad aim. The highback chair allows your child to relax and sit back (something you may both have to do for a while when they first start training!) The white seat comes out to empty into the toilet- which is the only downside. We also have a potty seat that fits on the big toilet, and it is nice not to have to clean the little potty out when they use that one. Still, the kids prefer their Bjiorn. In fact, the best potty training tool came to me when my 3 year old sat on the potty seat on the toilet and put his extra-large Pooh bear on the Bjiorn potty. Either way, it's getting its use!

Review by Tina : The best potty chair out there!

This is our fifth piece of potty equipment. We have two potty chairs and three potty toppers. The Bjorn ones are the best of both. Our old potty chair, a First Years one, is just too small for my 2yo son. He's just a little above average in size and just turned 2 a few months ago. He doesn't fit on it at all. Not all of his "parts" fit into the bowl and pee goes everywhere. With the Bjorn chair, he can easily sit down himself. All his parts fit inside so there is never a mess. And there is plenty of room for growth. In fact, my 4yo can sit on it also and fits fine. He's a bit on the tall and skinny side though.

Unlike our old potty, it is very easy to clean. The bowl is all one piece of smooth plastic, with no grooves or indentations to hinder cleaning. The bowl sits fully on the base, so the pee doesn't leak around the seam and onto the floor like our old potty. The bowl is contoured and comfortable. We have never found the splash guard to get in the way of anything. It performs as intended with no problems. There are also grips on the bottom which keeps the seat in place on the floor. Our other potty could easily tip over and slide across the floor. The way the front of the seat is contoured makes it comfortable to sit for my son, his legs sit comfortably on each side of the potty chair. The bowl itself is also easy for my son to carry because of the way it is shaped. I have him carry the bowl to the big toilet to dump its contents.

We also have the Bjorn potty topper which I also highly recommend. All one piece which makes it easier to clean. And nicely contoured again for comfort. The adjustable knob in back also keeps it sitting securely on the toilet and it doesn't slide around. It is much better than our old one that was actually two pieces and just awful to clean. You can imagine what got in between the two pieces. Yuck!

We have the Ocean Blue Bjorn potty seat and it's quite attractive (considering it's purpose!). The white bowl is easy to clean. Obviously, if you can get your child to go straight to the big toilet with a topper, that is ideal, but not every kid wants to do that. My first son was scared of the big toilet for 6 months! Also, our bathroom is a fair distance from the family room, so having this potty in the family room allows us to catch our son quickly when we see that he has to go. If we had to carry him all the way to the bathroom, he probably wouldn't make it. You can also use it in the car for travel quite well.

My 2yo son has only peed on the potty (little or big) a few times until we got this one. He peed on it within an hour of pulling it out of the box. And in the week since we've had it, he has started to do the big job on this potty once a day too, in addition to peeing on it several times a day. Maybe this one will learn to use the potty quicker than his brother! One can only hope.

Review by Angela Sher "Angel" : The best potty around....

We had to buy 3 potties before going for this one. We tried: Graco with soft seat, but its splashguard comed right off; the 1st years 3-in-1 potty had a hole that was located too close to the back thus making it very uncomfortable for a boy, because everything got mashed; and a musical potty by safety 1st, which leaked. This potty finally works! But I am so surprised to find that there is no perfect potty on the market! Looks like consumer reports haven't done much job; one way or the other, big brands have left out our little kid's bottoms with POOR CHOICES, of which the best(truly) here to present - baby bjorn potty chair...hope kids of my kids will do better.

Review by PRogers "Midwest Mommy" : Great potty for boys!

I recently purchased this potty for my 16 month old son. We are not actively training but I wanted to introduce him to it. The first night I got it, he went pee pee and boo boo in it. I screamed and clapped and sang a little song. He really likes it. He even brought it out of the bathroom and took it into the living room to watch The Wiggles while sitting in it. I like the color, and how it fits his size. He can sit on it and get up all by himself. Its very sturdy, it doesn't wobble or tip over like some do. One reviewer said the sprout was a little short, but I haven't had a problem. My son tends to look down at himself while he's going, so everything is pointing south anyway. I love that there are only 2 pieces to this chair. Very easy to clean. I had a safety 1st chair with the flip top lid and the detachable sprout and I absolutely hated this thing. My son would pull of the sprout and walk around the house with it. He was too concerned with the lid and turning around on the chair to pull the lid up and down instead of concentrating on trying to go potty. With the baby bjorn there are no distractions, no music, no removable pieces(except the bowl)which allows him focus on going potty. I just really like this potty chair. I would highly recommend this chair.
