Baby Products Reviews of BABYBJÖRN Toilet Trainer - White/Black
Customer Review: The Perfect Toilet Trainer
Summary: 5 Stars
My 2 year old son and I love this potty seat! It is EASY to clean, fits securely on all toilets, even elongated, and my son can put it on and take it off by himself. We use it in conjunction with the Baby Bjorn step stool, which I also love. We have had other potties and this is the best, except for the Baby Bjorn Little Potty. The potty trainer plastic is hard but contoured to fit a small or large person - my 15 month old daughter fits on it, and so do I!! Hard plastic is more sanitary because it won't crack and gather germs like the padded kind. The urine splash guard does the trick with little boys until they learn to aim, but is not cumbersome for females, either. It actually helps provide some stability to the child. It is very nice not having to empty and clean a separate potty for him. The design is clean and nice, which is important to us because my kids' bathroom is also the guest bathroom, decorated to look like a spa in cool blues and white. The white seat doesn't stick out like a sore thumb or look overly cutesy or childish in a nice bathroom. We take the trainer seat on vacation with us and visiting relatives. A word of caution - be sure to use with a sturdy stepstool, because for most kids, getting off and on the adult toilet without assistance is hard without a stool and can be dangerous. However, if your child is scared of sitting up so high, go with the Little Potty. My daughter is scared of the adult toilet and likes the Little Potty, but my son wants to be "BIG" like us and use the adult one. If you end up needing a floor potty, go with either a one piece design or a design in which the 'collection bowl' can't be removed by the child while sitting on the potty. We had a 'royal' potty -TRASH! My son was scared of the red light that sensed urination or bowel movement, and freaked out when it made noise. The splash guard was bothersome to him, causing him to hurt himself more than once, and he frequently pulled it off in midstream, making a mess. He also pulled the collection bowl out from the front in midstream, and ended up peeing directly on the floor. Love the Baby Bjorn toilet trainer, stepstool combination!Customer Review: Toilet Trainer Seat

We purchased the Babybjorn potty chair and loved it when we introduced the potty training process to our then 16 month old son. When he began to prefer to be placed on the toilet we decided to purchase the BabyBjorn training seat and matching stool. I like how the training seat clicks into place on the seat and doesn't move unless pulled up. The attachment mechanism also does NOT break when my son pulls the handle in the back. It is a little irritating that the seat can be so easily removed though and the toilet seat cover cannot be closed because of the handle in the back. The other thing I don't like about it is the urine splash guard. It makes it a little difficult for him to climb on and off the toilet b/c he is so short. While I can see the splash guard as being helpful, it would be nice to be able to remove it so 1) little boys can learn to stand and pee when they are ready and not when they are of a certain height, 2) when the child has mastered the skill (like our now 21 month old) of pointing his penis toward the toilet bowl and it is no longer of use. The splash guard just gets in the way in my opinion. I also think handles would have made this product more useful for my son to be able to climb on and off of. If your child is short (or son is 34") and ready to transition to the toilet I wouldn't recommend this product, it just makes it too difficult for them to be able to be independent on the toilet seat. It might work well with a very tall stepping stool (we are currently looking into this option since the BabyBjorn stool is also too short and of no use at this time).Customer Review: Ultimate Potty Trainer

BabyCatalog.com has this white with black "trim" color combination for sale ($ cheaper!) - which I purchased for my baby boy. We are bypassing the usual potty and just using this trainer.
Even though Jason is barely almost 3-months old, we have introduced the trainer to him. We place him on the trainer and support him while he sits on it to poop straight into the toilet, once a day. It can get tiring if you squat in front of the porcelain bowl to support your baby, so get the step stool at the same time for you to sit on it now and face the baby.
Your baby will enjoy looking at you front and center. The splash guard on the front is great - you won't get pee'd by your baby boy. And it also serves as a privacy guard.
We put a regular suction hook on the side of the toilet tank and it holds the Baby Bjorn trainer well. My mom toilet-trained my older sister and I before we were 1 year old by a similar style trainer (Baby Bjorn wasn't around in the late 1960-70s.) My mom also potty-trained my sister's three sons by the time they were 1 using just the trainer and no actual potty "bucket". My sister purchased an extra trainer to take along trips and to use in public restrooms.
You will use this trainer for as long as your child's bottom is much smaller than the regular toilet seat. So it is truly worth the $ price tag and hence my 5-stars.
Customer Review: Worth the money!

After buying a couple of potty seats that were much less expensive and a potty chair that played music for my 27mo. old son, I finally gave up and bought this one. I am very happy with it, and my son takes great pleasure in the fact that he can easily put it on and take it off all by himself. It doesn't slip around, and the built in splash guard is perfect. He can't take it off and lose it somewhere in the house like he did with his potty seat's splash guard, and the edges are smooth so he doesn't scratch himself on it when trying to sit down. Also, the potty seat was too small for him by the time he was 2. (He is a bit big for his age, but not chubby or anything.) Since it doesn't have any cracks for the mess to settle into, it's easy to wipe clean when needed.
I also like the fact that it's just plain white with black trim since I am using it in the guest bathroom. I bought a little hook that you stick on with adhesive tape and put it on the side of the toilet tank to hang the seat on. It works perfectly, the seat is out of the way when it's not in use, and my son can easily reach it when he needs to use it!
I am glad I spent the extra $$, I should have listened to the reviews I read and saved myself the trouble of buying and returning the others!
Customer Review: worked for us!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had first bought a cheaper character potty seat to lay over our adult toilets, thinking that seeing the beloved characters would inspire my daughter to sit on the potty when beginning to train. She did sit on it, but it was VERY unstable. It would slide around our toilet, and often "stick" to her when she tried to get up. I always had to be near her to make sure she didn't fall. After reading other parent reviews, we ended up buying this toilet trainer and the babybjorn potty chair, and am very happy with the results. My daughter sat in the potty chair in the beginning and was trained within a week. After about 2 weeks of using the chair, my daughter wanted to sit on the "big" potty like her parents and switched to this trainer without any problems. She's 2 1/2 and on the taller side (38in), and fit both the chair and trainer just fine. The trainer stays put on the toilet when my daughter is getting on and off, but is easily removed when adults need it. It's lightweight and easily transportable (to grandma's, etc.). the high splashguard keeps pee from spraying out and the whole thing is easy to clean. Very happy with the purchase and wish I had just bought this in the beginning instead of wasting money on the cheaper ones.
