5 Potties for Picky Poopheads
By Honey BerkIt may seem like you're going to be changing diapers forever, but the day will come when your toddler is ready for potty training. Every child matures at his or her own rate, so don't let (not-so) well-meaning parents of precocious toddlers pressure you into starting your child on the potty too early. Instead, look for signs that your baby is eager to take that next step:
• Follows you to the bathroom
• Imitates your toileting
• Pulls off diaper when it’s dirty or tells you when it needs changing
• Can undress or pull down pants independently
• Stays dry for at least three hours
Even if your child isn’t totally ready to start, you probably want to start potty shopping so you can be ready for that momentous milestone. Potties come in a dizzying array of types, shapes and sizes, and choosing the right one for your child can be difficult. No sweat. We've done some of the research to save you time and come up with five potty picks for every type of toddler.
