We have both a portable potty and a step up toilet seat.

We originally got the potty when DS1 was about 18months old but it was a pain to set up and our toilet area us not that big so it was bulky for our toilet room. We went and stayed at a family members house and their daughter's had a step up ladder...DS1 (who was about 2.5yo at the time) used it much more successfully so we bought one when we got home. It stores in our toilet room easier and easy to put on the toilet in a hurry (even DS2....who is now 21months old can do it). We are beginning toilet training DS2 now...he keeps taking his pants off and wants to copy DS1....so I have the step up one ready to go on the toilet but the portable potty is coming in handy for out in the lounge room or to take down stairs (DS2 goes over and sits on it every few minutes....unfortunately he hasn't actually wee'd in it yet...only on the floor :shakeshead: - nevermind...I know it'll click eventually...and only a month ago he was even scared to sit on them).

Of the 2 I do find the step up toilet seat the better one...we got ours in Big W for about $30-40...there was a more expensive one with characters on it....but i couldn't justify the added cost for a couple of pictures and I'd rather keep it simple...afterall it is only for weeing and pooing!

Hope this helps, good luck.
