Potty Training in the Loo {Joovy Review}

Potty Train­ing. I can’t believe I’m even utter­ing those words. My potty train­ing track record isn’t a good one. There was a time with Big Brother that I called potty train­ing the bane of my par­ent­ing exis­tence. And, we’re now approach­ing that time with Lit­tle Brother.

With the birth of Baby Brother just a few short weeks ago, we are by no means actively potty train­ing right now. But, we’re intro­duc­ing it. And, hope­fully, with this new piece of potty train­ing equip­ment (with such a clever “Queen’s Eng­lish” name), potty train­ing will be a lit­tle eas­ier this time around.

The Loo Potty Chair is one of the newest prod­ucts from Joovy (Joovy is an Amer­i­can com­pany that prides itself on design­ing and man­u­fac­tur­ing fam­ily gear prod­ucts that are extremely use­ful, prac­ti­cal, good-looking and FUN)! And, it’s a great prod­uct for intro­duc­ing potty training.

There are a few fea­tures about it that I love. First off, it’s sleek with an ultra-smooth fin­ish. This is fab­u­lous as it makes for MUCH eas­ier clean up (which is a must when potty train­ing). Plus, the bowl is also eas­ily remov­able (com­plete with a no-touch grab han­dle & high splash guard) to help keep things clean!

For the kid­dos, the bowl is a great size with a low pro­file (mak­ing it easy for them to sit on) and there is a non-slip base. In addi­tion to all of that, I love the way it looks (well, as much as one can love the appear­ance of a potty seat!).

It fits right in with the look of our down­stairs bath­room. Noth­ing loud & obtru­sive and no cutesy char­ac­ters. It’s white & gray, just like every­thing else in the bath­room. So, I’m com­fort­able with it sit­ting out all the time in hopes that it will invite Lit­tle Brother to come sit on it! Unfor­tu­nately though, Lit­tle Brother seems to have  no inter­est in it yet. In fact, this is the only time he’s been on it and notice Daddy hold­ing him there.

Ugh! Clearly, we’ve got a looong way to go. So I’m espe­cially glad that I like this lit­tle Loo potty as it will prob­a­bly be a pres­ence for some time to come! Now we need to get to the point where he is putting it to good use!

Have any good potty train­ing tips to share?!
