I have previously read some customer reviews yet decided after a short cooling-off period for the purchase of this mini toilet. Thought that if it did not, then I have spent unnecessarily already for more senseless things money. My son is 4 years this summer and at first I thought that I did not begin with the potty with him, but immediately start with proper toilet. At first he has only even dressed with pants set on it. Then my 16 months old daughter has successfully done this a few times in the mini-toilet, so I thought, then the investment was just for them. Up by one day to the next, the desire came from his side, no diaper in the morning (in the nursery) to attract. (Must be that I have also heeded the advice of a friend who advised me that I should leave him at home walking around without pants just say, so he gets a feel for when to ...) I agreed and thought, well, if he does not want a diaper, then a good thing. So with spare clothes we went to kindergarten. In Kiga he goes since then (except for the first 2-3 days) independently to the toilet (also are smaller in the equipment), home that has initially also worked with my support, but the big toilet is it still not so sympathetic. He goes for a few days but at home independently on this mini toilet. And for me that is fully ok. I am glad that his home is this potty (mini toilet) enough security and he goes autonomously it. I'm sure he will go from one day to the next automatically to the big toilet. I can absolutely recommend this product. I suspect there are "bigger" kids just not going to feel on a potty, but on a mini-toilet (potty has yet possibly more this association to "infant"). It is therefore ideal as a transition (to a large WC) for the home.
