How it works
There is no right or wrong age to start potty training, but most experts agree that parents should introduce a potty chair when they get the feeling that their child is ready for that. Thus, making the big switch from diaper use to potty chair is usually preceded by potty training which normally includes long periods of sitting on a potty chair. The BabyBjorn potty chair, which we are reviewing today, has proven to be comfortable for children because it is made of child-friendly material shaped into ergonomic “chair” with high backrest that supports the back of the child and armrests styled with an ergonomic design with round and soft lines so children can sit comfortably on it. In addition, toddlers can sit down and stand up by themselves easily due to a spacious room for the legs of the child without the risk of sliding because of the rubber edges at the bottom of the potty chair that sticks firmly on the floor. This also seems to be a very popular product among the majority of the parents because of its small size that can fit almost everywhere so you do not need big storage space for it and its lift-out inner potty which can easily be lifted, emptied and cleaned. Furthermore, the spills are prevented by a splash guard which is especially useful when potty training a boy. If you want to move the potty from one room to another, this can be simply done by holding the handle on the back of the potty chair. Parents all over the world claim that this product has been a really handy tool in their children’s potty training and that alone makes it worth reviewing.
Comfort
All BabyBjorn products are well-known for their quality, safety, and ergonomic design. This particular product is especially valued by parents because of its comfort for a toddler who can sit longer time periods on it. The design itself contributes to the maximum comfort of use with its round forms and smooth edges. One of the main features of this potty chair is the high backrest that provides solid but comfortable support for the back of the child with a wide seat so the toddler’s bottom fits comfortably on the seat. In addition to the sturdy construction of the potty chair, there are comfy armrests, which mean that the children can sit, lay back and relax. The three features: high back, armrests, and ergonomic rounded contours make the use of this potty chair very practical for toddlers of various sizes –from small to large toddlers and we can declare this product as kid-friendly size. The comfort is enhanced with sufficient legroom for the children so they can put their legs on the floor and can easily stand up or sit down by themselves.
Maintenance
The BabyBjorn Potty Chair consists of two parts. There is one removable inner potty that can be easily removed by holding and lifting out the practical handle placed underneath the splash guard. It is extremely convenient because this inner potty can be wipe-cleaned or risen underwater. When you remove the bowl one has access to the area underneath for more detailed cleaning. The potty chair itself is contoured with smooth design with no corners or sharp edges so this also prevents dirt to be collected. The plastic of the potty chair is durable and very practical for cleaning. This product is much loved and parents’ favorite especially because of this characteristic –a comfortable wide seat for the children to sit on, nice splash guard that prevents spilling and guarantees no making of a huge mess accompanied with the ease of cleaning. Just lift up, empty and wash out.
Ease of Use
The inner potty is of a good size meaning that the bowl is large and deep enough and can hold a lot of urine. Lots of parents also say that their children like to help out in emptying the inner potty and this can be done by simply lifting up the practical handle and thus removing the inner potty to empty the content into the toilet. The inner potty is also light for a child to lift up, damp the waste and wash out.
Although there is no such thing as a guarantee for mess-proof in such cases the majority of the parents claim that not much mess is made since there is the non-slip handle fit into the inner potty and this, in a great amount, reduces the risk of spills. It is definitely easier to clean this BabyBjorn two-piece Potty Chair than the single piece potty chairs because in that case, you will have to carry the entire potty chair to the toilet in order to empty it, unlike this two-piece potty where you just take the inner plastic bowl, remove it and clean it.

Capacity
Parents are always afraid that the potty chair can overturn when the child leans on one or the other side or maybe moves around or even jumps up from the seat and spill the content all over the place. This potty chair although is light to carry around still it is hard to topple over because of the rubber edges that are lined along the base of the potty chair that makes it stable and much harder to overturn. The rubber bottom sticks to the floor, and especially if you have a wooden floor or tiles it will be much appreciated, and keeps the potty chair firmly on the ground that also prevents sliding when the children are trying to sit down or stand up. The stability is also ensured with the proper legs space on the left and right side of the splash guard and the height of the chair which is not too low for the content to spill but not too high for the child to sit down.
Height
Babybjorn Potty Chair has a good height which makes it practical and usable for toddlers of many sizes. The proper height and the spacious leg room for the children make it easy for the child to place his/her legs on the floor and the armrests help the children sit down or stand up independently, without the help of the parents, which gives them a boost of the feeling that they are growing and can take care of their needs by themselves.
Portability
It is a lightweight product that is portable and easy to move around. You do not need to have a large place for storage and can easily fit in any room. It is especially convenient if you are travelling and because of its super-size it can easily be put behind a passenger seat. It does not take up a lot of space in your bathroom but it is a simple yet stylish addition to it.
The inner potty is oval so it provides a good area for the child to sit on and the splash guard comes up at proper height and does not make the sitting of the child uncomfortable. This BabyBjorn Potty Chair has a handle on the back that helps you move it from one place or room to another which means that it can always be in close proximity when the child needs to go potty. It is a product that can have long term of use in the family because it can be used for smaller as well as bigger children.
