According to experts, most children begin using a potty between 18 and 24 months of age. If your little one is already this age, it's a good idea to start potty training. Read on to learn what to look for when choosing a potty, and check out our potty suggestions for children available at Kokosek!
Wondering which potty to choose for your child? Follow these rules!
The answer to this question isn't simple or straightforward. However, there are several important features that an ideal potty should have. What are some of the things to consider?
1. The potty must be visually attractive to the child.
It should attract their attention with its shape, color, and interesting graphics. This will significantly increase the chances of potty training success. On the other hand, remember that children love to imitate. It's possible that a child will be much more willing to use a potty that resembles a traditional toilet.
2. The potty should have a removable insert.
This will allow for quick and much easier emptying of the contents.
3. The potty should have a structure as simple as possible.
This essential gadget will definitely require frequent cleaning, so it should not have any recesses or hard-to-reach places that will make it difficult to effectively keep the potty clean.

How to potty train?
The caregiver's approach to potty training is most important—and definitely more so than the potty itself! What's worth remembering?
-
Above all, familiarize your child with the potty before beginning proper potty training. Let them play with it, touch it, and cuddle it. At the same time, explain what this "equipment" is actually for.
-
Be alert to the right moment. A child who is ready for their first potty training usually sends out certain signals. So, observe your little one carefully and potty train them when they begin to wriggle, hide, crouch, or hold their bottom.
-
It is a good idea to remove the diaper from your toddler while potty training, as teaching your child to use the potty while wearing a diaper is definitely pointless.
-
Most importantly, don't force your child. They need to feel ready to comfortably and confidently begin potty training. Don't be discouraged – after a few days of no results, you can consider taking a break and resuming potty training in a few weeks.
Potty or toilet seat cover?
A toilet seat makes it easier to train an adult to use the toilet, but it's recommended to start with a potty. The seat is higher on the seat, which can make a younger child feel a bit insecure at first, especially if they need support for their legs. The sound of the flushing itself can also be a concern. Therefore, a toilet seat is best for slightly older children who are already potty-trained.
