    Thank you all so much!
    So far potty is in the bathroom next to the toilet. every time we ask her if she wants to use it, we get a very cheeky nooooo! I actually think she thinks we're a little crazy for asking her to go to the loo on the potty or toilet at the moment! :P

    When my kids first started toilet training we had the potty in the lounge room for easy access. Once they got the hang of it I moved it into the toilet.

    Does she like to read? DD will spend ages on the loo with a basket of books and that was effective for us when we first TTed and wanted to get her used to a potty. Maybe even a special one she could only read while sitting? (sparkly pictures etc)

    Ours was originally in the lounge area, but she TTed very quickly and I changed to the toilet seat insert fairly early on. I wanted the potty to be close to where she would most likely be (playroom/lounge) in the early stages.

    Good luck

    Thanks CB- Unfortunately the only time DD1 is still is when she is asleep! She did sit on it in the beginning but once she found out what it is for, she hasnt gone back

    Tinks- nice idea, Im still trying to toss it up whether I should bring it out of the bathroom and into the living area!
