hi - my daughter played with the potty from when she could walk - i tried serious training when she was two, but she didnt want to know about it. We used to have the potty with the tray in the front but I found her bottom got suction cupped a bit to that and it left a mark. We use a turtle shaped one now.

Tried again three months later and it worked a lot better - both poos and wees. We even had dry night times for about a three weeks, but this didnt last. She has the odd accident now deciding whether to use the big toilet or the potty. And she has been known to drop her pants in the yard and go outside.

I think you've just gotta take the plunge when it comes to wearing undies when you go out - try little trips, walks or somewhere close. I dont know how hard this is with two children though ??

My mum drove me *NUTS* always telling me how my brother and i were potty trained by 10 months. As if.

Barb.
