Modern moms and dads begin to teach their child to the toilet before a year. Quite often, this experience does not give results, and the little one begins to "get acquainted" with the pot at the age of one and a half years.

A baby potty with music or signal buttons can resemble a real transformer. Some add decorations, stickers, prints, and on some you can even notice the steering wheel. Modern models are gradually turning into a full-fledged toy that teaches babies to properly relieve themselves.

When choosing, be sure to look at the assembly material and its resistance to ultraviolet rays. Reviews of baby pots are mostly positive. But there are also those parents who believe that at the initial stage of toilet training, it is better to use the classic "no frills" pot. There are also excitable, fearful kids who can be intimidated by a loud melody. When choosing a specific model, you also need to take into account the characteristics and character of the baby, as well as whether a pot with music will be suitable for him.

For boys

The main element that distinguishes the boy version from the girl version is a special splash damper. Due to the characteristics of the child's body, certain requirements are imposed on the shape of the pots. For boys, the ideal potty is a ledge design. When buying, be sure to take into account the anatomical features of the body, the age of the baby and the additional functions of the accessory. Pediatricians welcome the presence of a small back that will prevent posture curvature in the future. The leg stands also play an important role.

Among the wide assortment, look at the models of the brands Baby Born, Bertoni, Chicco, Geoby, Okt Kids, Qc Baby and others. They are presented in a classic oval or round shape, in pastel or bright colors.

Mainly in showcases with pots for boys, you can find the following shades of accessories:

light or dark blue, light blue;
gray, graphite;
light green, light green;
yellow, orange, lemon;
bright red;
rich purple;
white;
two- or three-color products.

The appearance of a pot for a baby in the house is the first step to independence. Make sure you have such an item before your son turns 2. The design of the model necessarily has a protrusion in the front, which prevents the legs from collapsing and splashing. In the future, it will be possible to buy additional plastic urinals, with the help of which it is easier for boys to train to stand up to pee.

Musical models are most often made of heat-absorbing plastic, because such material is very convenient to wash. Sometimes manufacturers add antiseptic substances to its composition. This is done so that the disinfection of such an object is carried out exclusively with running water, and not with additional detergents.

You should choose a pot of a simple and understandable shape for your son. If the choice has settled on models with the image of animals, let it be cute stickers and prints. If the baby is unable to concentrate on the actual bowel movement, it is recommended to turn off all music and lights. In this case, you can play with the pot just like that. Color, blinking, pleasant melody will surely interest your baby, who does not want to part with a diaper.

The most popular models for boys turned out to be pots in the form of a car with a steering wheel, animals, fairy-tale and cartoon characters, transforming robots. Manufacturers also create unique designs of such accessories, for example, in the form of a spaceship, rocket, octopus, boats and others. The classic form is characterized by prints and patterns in the form of familiar cartoon characters.

For girls

For little ladies, doctors advise to look after models of a round shape and medium hardness. You can sit comfortably on them even with the legs brought together. Be sure to pay attention to the following features when choosing a model:

the main purpose of the pot, without being distracted by additional functions;
the quality of luminous and musical elements;
the size of the hole in the pot (the optimal diameter is about 40 cm so that the sides do not dig into the legs);
product stability;
the presence of footrests or rubber anti-slip lining.

A plastic pot is considered more acceptable both in price and in functionality than an enamel pot. In addition, musical models are not made of enamel. As for high-quality plastic, it is easier to disinfect, rinse. They are also significantly lighter in weight, making it easier to carry the pots. When buying a transforming model, make sure that all its components are easily disassembled and cleaned. The baby pot should not become a breeding ground for bacteria and germs.

It is important for children to choose such a product that, with all its "chips", would not distract him from an important matter. Many psychologists are of the opinion that it is not worthwhile to entertain babies while coping.

Children should understand why they sit on the potty. In the future, they will simply develop a reflex: as soon as the music sounds, they will run to the toilet. When choosing a musical model, try to choose one whose melody can be controlled, turned on and off at will.

The first attempts to go to the potty can be demonstrated in a playful way, to make it clear to the baby that it is not scary and exciting. In the future, it is better to turn off signals and sounds, or turn them on less often. A musical pot for a girl can be presented in the form of a miniature castle, a cute dog or a cat. The model itself looks like a "doll" and evokes only pleasant emotions in the baby. Buy products in the form of a convertible, a funny frog, an airplane, a penguin or a duck. The best manufacturers of such items are Babyhood, Maltex, Weina, Pilsan and others.

Recommendations

It is worth adhering to several recommendations from specialists.

Never insist on planting your baby in a potty. This can scare off a little baby, and then even a colorful musical toy accessory will not save the situation.
Always position a curious object like a toy pot. Explain, even at the age of one, why you need it. As an example, first put a doll or a teddy bear on a pot, "introduce" your little one to such an accessory more closely.
The choice should be stopped on models with an affordable cost and never chase the number of functions. By the age of two, the child will not yet understand why he needs an additional urinal or a back that imitates a barrel. He will touch, listen and consider. And this is the most effective way to train him to the toilet.
