Am thinking of getting one but don't know if I'm being enticed by something that's actually a terrible idea?!
You can get a mini plastic urinal shaped thing to sit on the edge of the loo, or suction to a wall...
I am finding it attractive as I can't pick him up / move steps around so he can use the main toilet (am disabled), but I think he likes the maleness of weeing standing up.
Background:
My Ds is just turned 3 and physically ready for potty training, but in a dither about it mentally. The nursery are really pushing me to get him potty trained as he's the last in his class, but I've held off as I don't want to make things worse by pestering him to do something he doesn't want to do yet. However I do think the time is coming when we should get it done, so am preparing.
Hes very keen to wee standing up when he's at my dads visiting (once a month), but gets upset when it splashes eveywhere around the potty. He doesn't have any other 'male weeing role model', and I think it's one of the things that's confusing him about potty training. He sits on the potty (w trousers & nappy on) when I'm on the loo, & is keen to be involved in the whole toilet thing, but he's just not sure who he's supposed to be copying... Wonder if it would help to skip the weeing sitting down stage & make him feel like a big boy?
