Parent requesting that I use small potty for training

[Busy ECE mommy]

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!
