If you have young children at home, a 'potty' is an necessary item for your child. As there are no toilets specifically designed for children, it becomes uncomfortable for them to use ones designed for adults. Also good potty training is a must for every child — to teach them basic toilet etiquette. And you can do it easily with the durable and attractive portable potties available in the market.

Variety in designs

Replacing bowl-shaped potties, attractive designs are available in the market. These plastic potties are available in varieties of shapes like Angry Bird, frog, doll, duck, swan, et cetera.

Bright colours are loved by children and potties are usually brightly coloured. However, there is colour preference based on the sex of the children as well.

“Parents usually select blue coloured potty for a male child and pink for the females,” informed Shekhar Amatya, a staffer at Peanuts, Sundhara.

And the potties also come in a range of sizes — small, medium and large according the age and height of the child.

Some potties can even be adjusted in adults’ toilet.

Portable potties

Many mothers find it difficult to carry her child while travelling as the child needs to pee and poo often. To address this problem, portable potties are available in the market.

These emergency potties are usually in round shape and can be carried anywhere as it fits in one’s bag.

“You have to put plastic in such portable potty. Once the child defecates/urinates there, you can throw the plastic away,” informed Anju Lama, a staffer at The Toy Store, Sundhara.

These potties are made of plastic and are unbreakable, easy to wash and are convenient to carry.
