Best potties for boys?

[sanity girl]

I am starting to think about potty training my 22 month old, but he is very reluctant to sit on the potty we already have at home (even dressed) I think because he finds it uncomfortable. Does anyone know of any particular makes of potty that are better for boys - he is big for his age and has very chunky thighs! Cheers

My son is very big for his age and the baby Bjorn one has been great. Nice and solid, not too short.

Will check that one out, thanks!

My son had same issues and wouldn't sit on an uncomfortable potty!

We've got this dino one he loves it and we call it Rex, it seems really comfy ( I tried it out myself in Bromley boots much to my husbands major embarrassment!)

Just checking, having had a look online, do you mean the Baby Bjorn potty chair or just the potty?

We used the Bjorn potty chair as our boy also found the regular pottys uncomfortable

We didn't use a potty with either of our boys. I just got them a step so they could stand and wee straight into the toilet. Apparently boys aren't supposed to be able to manage weeing standing hence them being trained sitting on a potty but I didn't know that so assumed the easiest way to do it was to get them a step! I also didn't actually train either of them; they both said they didn't want to wear nappies anymore and were both dry (in the day time) within about three days. My older son was 2yrs 8mths and my younder son 2yrs 10mths.

We have the potty and a toilet seat.

Chair style ones are great - I got Thomas and he loved it the minute he got it - far more comfy than traditional potties, if a bit more pricey.

Esme - do you mean a THomas the tank engine potty chair? That sounds like it would be very appealing to my little one! Whereabouts did you get it?

Oh, I also need to know about the Thomas the tank potty... please

We have this one and it has been great: http://www.vupbaby.co.uk/content/beaba-potty-3-colours

I've been staring at it in my house for over a year now and appreciate that it is not hideous!
