The Baby Bjorn Potty Chair has arrived!
(and the crowds go wild!)
Or at least… this mommy goes wild!
A potty chair might not seem like a big thing to most of you, but it really is awesome to anyone who ECs their baby.
We currently EC Damian by holding him over the toilet:
Which truly wrecks havoc on your back, arms and knees. Damian is also getting a bit to wiggly to like that position too. The potty chair can be moved around to where ever I want it so these problems no longer exists. It also alleviates our other problem of ECing in public.
Our main problem with ECing Damian is that he now HATES going in his diaper and will try to hold it as long as possible. This is great in its own way of course, it saves us a lot of diapers, however it is not so great when we are out. I refuse to kneel on the floor of a public restroom. (Gross!) So he has to go in his diaper, of course this makes for a rather cranky baby at times. Now that we have the potty chair, we can just bring it with us and EC him in the van. I’ll probably eventually make a bag for it so when we go over to friends I can carry it in with us.
Based on first impressions I like the potty. It seems to support him well with some help (he is not old enough to sit on his own yet) and seems to be the right size for his little tushy with room to grow. It also doesn’t get as cold as a toilet seat either which he appreciates. The white bowl pops out super easily and seems easy to clean. All the seams are smooth so I am not worried about him getting pinched. Damian wasn’t sure what to think at first since he is use to the toilet, but he did end up peeing in it and I am pleased to say the splash guard did its job.
The day has come, my son has a throne of his own!
Now to get him some reading material…
