I used to find those little inserts gross to clean. Now I have an awesome toilet seat that has a second smaller seat that flips down for little ones. It was only $30 at canadian tire. I love it!

Superfun, I'm glad you mentioned you had one!! I was looking into those seats a couple weeks ago. Canadian Tire's $30 was the cheapest one I could find but it got horrible reviews about it slipping when sat on. Do you find this is an issue? Also, from what I could see there was no magnet so people said you had to hold both seats up if an adult male were to use it. Is that correct?
I looked at Target and didn't see any with magnetic lids either but I think Home Depot has one. I just haven't gotten around to getting there.
I have the Safety 1st One Step Training Seat and I like it, you don't need a magnet to make it stay up. And it costs way less than $30.Quote:

I use the hard plastic one piece seat from walmart(about $6). I used to use the foam/plastic Dora seat for my own daughter, and the plastic around the edge of the foam would collect pee in between. That was gross. I tossed that one even for my own needs, and bought the plastic one. We used the hard plastic ones in a licensed centre in the toddler/preschool rooms. Even with our toddler room of only 5 kids, we were not allowed by the health department to use little potties for sanitary reasons, so I follow the same guidelines. We used gloves/disinfecant/paper towels to wipe after each use. At home I use gloves and a Lysol wipe after every use, and a proper cleaning each night. It just takes seconds to wipe as you go. The little girl is progressing better after a few days on my plastic seat, so I'm sticking with it!
Amanda...thanks! Do you know if any stores sell this one? I'll look online but thought maybe you might know?
BusyECE...one of the centres I worked in had a little potty. It wouldn't surprise me if they weren't supposed to have it though...that would have been the least of their worries!!
It's been great so far. We haven't had any issues with it sliding or needing a magnet. Right now i only have my own daughter interested in potty training, but maybe if I had really squirmy kids it might slide? You could come by and see it someday. Lol
I use a Bemis next step potty seat. I have them in both bathrooms in our house. I got ours at Home Depot. The potty seat fits into the lid (magnetically) so you don't have to worry about it falling down.
I got it at either Babies R Us or Walmart, I don't remember for sure as it was a few years ago.Quote:
