Aka your new bathroom decor.
Before we started any kind of potty training, we wanted a practice potty just sitting in the bathroom. No pressure, no schedule. Just available for whenever they got curious.
The Summer My Size Potty Pro was our “casual potty.” It’s toddler-sized, looks like a real toilet (which they think is hilarious), and it was cheap enough that having it sit unused for months didn’t feel like a waste. The little slot in the fake tank top is perfect to hold your potty training books. Both kids used it to get comfortable with the idea of a potty before we started any real training. We pulled it once training began and switched to the regular toilet with a seat reducer.
This is a gateway potty, not a long-term solution. Its whole job is to be there when your kid first gets curious. Once you’re actually training, you’ll probably move to the real toilet. Don’t overthink it. We liked this one. Use whatever one your friend gives you or is on sale at Target/Amazon.
