I've been in complete denial for a long time about the need to toilet train Sam, and I'm just now starting to get out and about to look for a potty.

But all that I've seen so far have virtually nothing in terms of a guard at the front - and this is something that I'd imagine would be fairly essential for a boy's potty! Or am I just way off base?

Is it worth getting the ones that can be a potty but then later convert to a toilet seat + step stool kind of thing. They look to me that they'd be a bit more comfortable to sit on, but I don't really know for sure.

Advice?
