Baby Products Reviews of BABYBJÖRN Potty Chair, BlueCustomer Review: Clean, stable, and user-friendly for toddlers Summary: 5 Stars
My twin three-year-old boys both easily use the Baby Bjorn potty chair. I love it for its easy to clean surface, stable construction, and how user-friendly it is for my children. We own two: one red and one blue.
The potty is made of hard plastic that is smooth and well fitted. There are no crevices or hard to reach areas that make the potty difficult to keep clean. A simple rinse in the sink clears most waste and a swipe with a baby wipe is the most it ever requires. The surface dries quickly and easily; I use a paper towel to dry it instantly. I occasionally just want to really clean it and even a full all-over rinse and wipe down takes less than two minutes and leaves me feeling like it's truly clean---something I never thought of my cushioned potty seats.
The seat is well proportioned for my boys who are 36-38" tall and 32-34 lbs. I can't see that they will outgrow it soon. The base has a rubber seal that holds the potty firmly in place on the tile floor; even when they plop down it doesn't slide under them. The back is high and supports them well when they sit for an extended time. The bowl fits snugly into the base; neither one has ever been pinched in literally hundreds of uses. The pee guard in the front works well for my son who prefers to sit while the oblong shape allows my son who prefers to stand to get close enough to the bowl. We have no issues with them missing other than when the stander turns around to talk to me...not sure what I can do about that.
My boys both empty their own bowls into the toilet and then rinse the bowl in the sink (standing on our Babybjorn Safe Step). They then replace the bowls into their potties and are done. All I have to do is dry the seat with a paper towel if we're going to be using them again soon. From the first time they used the potties, they completely understood what it was for, how to remove the bowl, and how to replace it. I would never have thought my kids would clean their own potties, but with this material and design, they figured it out after watching me do the rinsing over just a couple of days.
I highly recommend this product.
Customer Review: Ready to potty train child + the right potty chair = Success Summary: 5 Stars
My son started showing potty training ready signs at 16 or 17 months. I didn't know much about potty chairs so I just went out bought a "simple" cheap chair. The cheap chair was a great introduction for my son but when the time came that he was truly ready he needed a real potty chair and for him it was the BabyBjorn potty chair. After we received this chair (after doing much research on potty chairs)I spent two days potty training my son with much success. My son was just under 23 months when he was potty trained and although I give the trophy to my son for being ready, the right potty chair only made my son's job that much easier. This chair is perfect for boys with the rounded edges of the potty guard so their delicate bits are protected. The high backing provides support and offers comfort for the child. The tub of the chair is just the perfect size for little bums. My son always fell into his other potty chair which made him leary but this just fit perfectly. And as a plus for the parents-there are only two pieces to this chair which makes for easy cleaning. My son has been potty trained for a month and even when taking a bath he will get out of the nice warm tub to do his business in his favorite blue chair. I have already recommended this chair to 3 of my friends who have boys and although I recognize that every child is different and you have to find what works for your child, I would highly recommend this chair to anyone in the potty training stages whether you have boys or girls.
Customer Review: Warning to Moms of Boys- Pee ALL over EVERY time!!! Summary: 1 Stars
I am VERY disappointed with this potty chair! It got rave reviews on this site- so I rushed right out to my nearest Babies R Us store and purchased it. Now I wish I hadent! First of all, my son has used it seven times in the last two days. And, ALL seven times... we had pee all over the floor- down his legs- on us (we were in front of him). It's not even a result of 'position' on the chair. I sit him all the way back-... I'm at whitts end with this darn thing! He doesn't even like sitting on it. I have to agree with one of the other reviewers... it's is WAY too narrow for children of potty training ages. My son is 14 monts old, average size... and it's small for him... VERY disappointed. I guess the only advantage I can see to this one that the splash guard is attached so my son can't rip it off. Although, what good is it if the pee goes up and over the top?! Oh- and when my son stands up- the potty collection bucket sticks to his rear and wants to pop out with him. Then, when I safely get the collection pan back into the pot,it's a fight to keep him from taking it out (and spilling contents) all over. Never thought of those problems with this design, but something to consider when contemplating purchase of this product. So, if you have a [small child],don't mind pee all over the floor, and don't mind the pot (and it's contents)coming up with your little one, by all means... rush right out and buy it!
Customer Review: I like the Baby Bjorn potty seat better Summary: 2 Stars
My son is 23 months old, and I bought this product and the Baby Bjorn potty seat that goes on the big toilet, thinking I would try them both and see which he liked best. He is scared of the potty chair now because the splash guard in the front "surprises" him when he sits down sometimes, and he gets hurt. He refusus to sit on it now, and only wants to use the potty seat on the big toilet - fine with me because it is easier to clean. The potty chair is narrow, and although my son is on the very skinny side, he sees kind of wedged in there when he sits on it. It doesn't seem that comfortable for his little tushie. I bought the white model, and did not realize that the plastic potty bowl on it is black. This makes it hard to tell when it is really clean. I would give this chair some points for being compact, not taking up much space in the bathroom, and being attractive looking and sturdy. However, it just doesn't seem comfortable for my boy. In my opinion, it does not live up to the quality I expect from baby bjorn products. I do, however, love the Baby Bjorn potty seat that goes on the big toilet, as it is VERY comfortable and seems well-designed for a boy to use. Such a contrast between these two products! Maybe the potty chair would work better for a girl who does not have those "delicate parts" to get hurt by the splash guard.
Customer Review: Best potty chair so far! Summary: 5 Stars
We have tried four different potty chairs for our sons and this potty seat far surpasses them all!The seat has been a perfect size for our two year old,but it is also big enough for our taller three year old to use.The actual opening is great because instead of being small and round like many potty's, it has a much larger oval opening which seems to catch everything much better. Also has a nice urine guard on the front(although it is not as tall as I thought it would be) that they have NEVER urinated over the top or side of, which is pretty amazing!All the other potty's we had a problem with b/c they had the guard that can detach and it always ended up down inside and I would have to dig it out,gross!I also like the removable pot to dump,makes it very easy to use/clean.The bottom has grippers so the chair doesn't move around,which makes them feel more stable.Has a high back and sides for feeling more comfortable as they can rest their backs and hold on the sides.My 2 year old didn't like other potty's b/c they pinch or were uncomfortable, but this seat he said is "comfy". Overall a great chair,although I wouldn't mind the "pee guard" being a little higher just to be safe,wasn't as high as expected based on reviews!
