Random Potty Question!

[TheEleventhHour]

DS has a Baby Bjorn potty chair. He went through a phase where he would always ask to go pee and used it with no issue. Then he started FREAKING OUT about using it but I just chalked it up to him not being ready to PT. However, this morning he woke up with a totally dry diaper so I asked him if he would sit on his potty chair. He requested to use the "big potty" instead so I held him on the toilet and sure enough he went! This is the first time he has peed outside his diaper in weeks!

My question is does anyone use the type of chairs that attach to the big toilet and which do you use? Obviously I am not going to hold him anytime he wants to pee but I just don't know where to start looking. I just assumed he would prefer the smaller potty chair because his feet touch the floor so I have no idea what to get! Thank you!

DD has never liked her little potty. She has been climbing up on the big toilet for months now. Might be because she started preschool in January and they go potty on "real" toilets that are just shorter/smaller than normal ones.

She needs a little help getting up, but can sit there herself and get off easily. We have this one and the matching stool:

We also have a flat foldable seat for use outside the house, but we're not quite there yet.

DD was okay with her Elmo floor potty but then we tried the 3 day method with total failure and it was then banished (by DD). After a potty hiatus, we read the Elmo potty book where Elmo uses the big potty and his cousin who does not know how to use the potty is learning on the little potty. So the big potty has been the only cool potty ever since. We got something like "mommy's helper" that has a ladder so she can climb up. She doesn't really--I still lift her and her feet don't quite reach the step. Probably a regular seat like the Bubble Guppies one and tall stool would be as good. People really recommend a whole new toilet seat that has an additional part that is just a fold-down ring that you can then fold up when you go, and they can fold down when they go. Might have done that if I didn't already have the one I have.

She never wants to go potty when we are out and just goes in her diaper unless she's not having fun, and then she has to go. I just lift her onto the big seat and she does fine and goes just sort of perched there. I bought a pointette, which my friend recommended, but DD took one look at it and was like, "no." Maybe once she is more trained she'll decide it is necessary, but since she still likes wearing diapers, she just doesn't worry about what to do when there is no potty on the scene.

The picture won't post here because I am bad at proboards but:

We have this one and I love it. It doesn't take up any extra space, blends in with the rest of the bathroom, and is easy to clean. It is magnetized so his seat is stuck up on the lid, and he pulls it down when he needs it.
