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 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!)

Good luck!

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.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
