I am looking for a potty seat for my son who is a 40lb 2.5 year old. The potty seats that are commonly available ar too small for him, but he is not yet big enough to use an adult toilet seat. Any ideas?
We always used the toilet seat rings to train our kids. I'm not sure why more people don't use them. It fits right over the toilet seat, and you don't have to deal w/ cleaning out a potty chair.
If he is too short to get onto the toilet, we always used a stool.
Good luck!
I would try an insert on the big potty with a step stool. L.
They have potty seats that fit right on top of the "adult" seats - they're just seat rings - more hygienic than potty chairs too because everything goes right into the toilet! You can get one at Walmart or a store like that. They're the equivalent of a booster seat rather than a car seat! Hope this helps!

Nevermind the potty seat even though your child is to big for it. My son, who is now six, started out on the potty and then stopped using it and went back to pull-ups until he was four. I then got him to use the regular toilet that he was deathly afraid of so maybe it's good that you can't use a potty. I suggest you get a ring that fits into your toilet seat. You can get it at any Toys R Us, Target, Wal-Mart, etc.. You'll find that he'll be comfortable when it comes time to poop on the big potty better using this. My six year old is still afraid and is still using the ring. I feel like I traumatized him during the potty training and am paying for it now. I suggest also putting cheerios or other types of cereal in the toilet, not a lot maybe three or four and play a game of having him try to sink them by peeing on them. Don't have him start peeing sitting down. Teach by standing and if he isn't tall enough use a stool. This worked for me it was just the pooping and I'm still having problem! I hope this helps! L.
