This day I love.......

I have written a few posts on potty training, top tips, night time and my essentials list and with both my girls now potty trained we have tried a number of different potties.  I have never seen one quite like the Tomy Princess potty before.  For my girls who are Disney Princess obsessed this was the gold standard of potties.

Opening the potty

The Tomy Princess Potty does not look like any ordinary potty.  In fact that is the whole idea, as when closed it can be used as a step.  My youngest daughter likes to carry her Princess step to help her reach the fruit bowl or the biscuit tin, yes it is usually food related, or even to reach the sink to wash her hands.

The Tomy Princess Potty is a 3 in 1 system.  The first, the step, I have mentioned above and the other two are a potty and a toilet seat.  You can transform the potty into a toilet seat which is a really clever idea.  This means children are familiar with the seat and can make the transition form potty to toilet easier.  You do need to be aware of this fact though when you come to clean the potty, else the rubber seat will fall out.  It is designed to do this for cleaning, but it can take you by surprise if you forget.

As it is a complete training system it is also great to take in the car, especially if holiday in the UK.  You have everything you need, step, potty and toilet seat all in one.  This meant we did not need to take these three items individually for the girls, they could simply share the one. 

What my youngest really loves is that there is a button at the side of the potty which makes a magical noise when pressed.  This is a lovely way of rewarding a child for sitting on the potty when they are potty training.  The Tomy Disney Princess 3 in 1 potty is perfect for any little Princess.

Most parents will have heard of Pourty, it's the potty which pours out the back. The potty is great for wee as it easily pours from the back thanks to the handy spout and can be wiped clean with ease. The potty itself doesn't feel heavy and can be easily lifted thanks to the conveniently located handle. This also aids with pouring. 



My daughter says the handle looks like a smile and this is something she really likes. The potty is sturdy when sat on, I have seen some others flex at the base and this has given me concerns about the stability, this was not the case with Pourty. It is light enough for my youngest to pick up too and she had no issues with sitting on it.

Pourty have grown and expanded their range, they now also do a step and a toilet seat.

Pourty seat and step

The Pourty toilet seat has the same shape as the potty this means a child is used to sitting on it. Transitioning from potty to toilet can be a huge step for some children, they can find the whole thing a bit daunting. Some just find it uncomfortable as they are not used to the seat on the toilet, it feels different to them than their potty that they are used to. The Pourty seat therefore helps with this transition. They are used to the seat already and the shape is kept the same. I must admit when I first saw the seat I was a little worried how stable it would be, given the back is missing but we have had no issues. The toilet seat is unique in that is can be altered to fit any sized toilet.

Toilets are often different shape and sizes. Finding a toilet seat that fits a range of toilets can be tricky. Whilst the majority of toilet training seats can be used, they often don't fit correctly. By this I mean they have a wobble when the child sits in them. This can often lead to a knock in the child's confidence of the toilet. The Pourty toilet seat can be adjusted to fit any toilet seat. This stops that wobble and the child feels more confident when sat on the toilet. We took the Pourty seat with us on our holidays as it meant that we knew the seat would fit and it would be a seat they were familiar with. We have found that with rectangular toilets the fit isn't great but it is still better than other seats we have used. Pourty do specify this on the instructions.

Pourty range

When a child is transitioning from potty to toilet it is great to encourage their independence. The Pourty step allows child to get on and off the toilet themselves. It can also then be easily moved so they can reach the sink to wash their hands. The step has a non slip top and is light enough that my youngest at 2 can easily pick the step up and move to where she needs it. The Pourty step often gets picked up and moved around the house for her to stand on as she feels fit. The Pourty step has also made a great place for my eldest to do some colouring on and I often find her using it as a desk.

The great thing about the Pourty range is that it is all light weight so that children can carry it and it is all easily cleaned. My youngest likes the Pourty logo of the cat and I really like that it creates a sense of familiarity so that the child's confidence can grow with potty training.

We were sent the Pourty range for the purpose of this review.  All words and opinions are my own.  The video is from Youtube and not my own video.

My girls love outside.  If they cant go outside then they love to watch outside.  My eldest in particular loves watching the birds in the garden.  The big Oak tree comes right past her window and we have such a good view into the tree to watch the birds and wildlife its amazing.  I imagine its similar to having a tree house, only warmer. 

We had spent some of the evening watching the birds outside.  Whilst getting my youngest ready for bed I noticed my eldest wander past the door carrying her step.  In my curious I wonder what she is up to mode I followed her into her room.  She carefully placed the step by the window and proceeded to attempt to climb up onto the windowsill.  She put her foot onto the radiator and tried to pull herself up.  She the turned looked at me and said 'Radiator not big enough Mummy' Which I think means she was not quite high enough to get up.

I can see I am going to be having a lot of fun watching what she gets up to from now on.  Luckily the girls are never upstairs unattended and the windows are locked.  I did explain it was dangerous and she must wait for Mummy or Daddy to look out the window.  We did then have a look outside.  Where we saw a squirrel and a pigeon on the roof of the play house.  [Please excuse the poor quality photo, zoom on phone and light shinning in has made it go a bit weird and I cannot work out how to edit it to make it better]


They proceeded to do a bit of strange dancing round each other, I would guess in a back off the foods mine kind of way.  In the end one of them got fed up and went away, Can you guess which?

This day I love the squirrel vs the Pigeon
