ignoranceisbliss 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2010 For those who have toddlers at home, have you considered installing a smaller potty, and a lower washing basin for the kids? I have seen them in childcare. It would also mean a separate sanitary pipe for this additional potty in the toilet right? Does it require more fees to be paid? Are there any other ways of toilet proofing the usual adult potty and make it safe for kids to use without supervsion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedRedWine2009 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 Two yrs ago, I bgt one plastic children potty for my niece from Kiddy palace. The potty like a chair. Ard $20 to $30? I can't remember d price. Got to note that sum time it will leak if did not place it nicely. I cut a small piece of velcro tape (a material that comes in two strips that stick together) n paste it at d back.

Are there any other ways of toilet proofing the usual adult potty and make it safe for kids to use without supervsion? Hi there, I have 4 kids of various ages, the youngest is 2 years old. I have never find a need for an additional child size potty cos they grow up real fast and soon you will be left with an underutilized toilet bowl (and an eyesore). They also like to act like grown ups and would prefer using mommy and daddy's potty. However, if you intend to have lots of children (at least half a dozen) or start a childcare, then it is worth the investment. I know, we just want the best for them . For potty training, I use a kid size toilet seat that can be placed over the existing toilet bowl. You can get that from places like kiddy palace, toys r us or kids section of any dept stores.Its easy to use. All toddles need help in cleaning themselves after using the potty. By the time they can clean their own bum to a satisfactory standard, they can actually be promoted to use the adult potty. As for the wash basins, i agree it would be nice to have a lower one cos they wash their hands many times a day. Are you thinking of having two wash basins? One for adults and one for kids? or just one at a lower height? As for my family, we use ikea stools for the kids to step on to wash their hands, brush their teeth etc. We are a family of dwarfs, the ikea stools were the best household investment to date.

ignoranceisbliss 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2010 Hi folks, thanks for your replies... haha, I have no intention of opening a childcare of my own (to have half a dozen kids). I may just buy an anti slip stool for now and see how it works out. I have checked around a little and it seems that ikea stools are the answers to the kids' days in bathrooms...

Amy Choon 1 Report post Posted July 26, 2010 it's cheaper to buy a kid's potty and two step stools, than to dismantle everything when the kids grow up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
