Looster Booster Review & Giveaway

Don’t rush them!  Kids will train when they are ready.

My biggest fear is my daughter won’t catch on. I have a friend who has a son who’s 3 and he’s not potty trained at all and I do not want that to happen to us!!!

just go ahead and put real underwear on them!

After having potty trained 3 and working on the 4th now, my best piece of advice is to wait until the child shows an interest before starting. If they are willing, it goes so much easier.

Ugh, potty training!  My biggest fear? That after being “potty trained” my child will “relapse” for some unknown reason, as I’ve seen with other kids.

From what I’ve learned, girls generally seems to potty train earlier than boys.

I believe the key to sucessful potty training is frequent reminders to use the potty and change soiled diapers quickly.  And give lots of praise!  :)

A little bribe never hurt a child … little girls LOVE those cute little panties!  “Well, when you go poo poo in the potty you can wear those panties”

if you have twins or two children, like i do, try to train them at the same time.

With my first child, we hung up a calander on the wall next to the toilet. She could put a sticker on everytime she went through a day with no accidents. She loved watching her days fill up. At the end of the week she got to pick an “activity” out of a hat. It was exciting for her to see what fun thing we would do on Sunday!! I put in activities like baking cookies, make a special craft, or movie day (her choice with popcorn and all in our livingroom) :)

Potty training…Fears? You better believe I have a tons of things going through my mind and I can only imagine my little guy has just as many thoughts of his own about the subject. The one thing that keeps coming back, “Does he REALLY understand the concept here or am I just wasting my breath? “

Dalton is 3 and still will not do #2 in the potty. Any tips appreciated! Maybe a Little Looster is tha answer…like you said, no holding on for dear life.

Don’t plan anything else for the first few days you start to potty train your child.  It’s so much better if you are home and can focus on the task at hand!

I think a little bribe never hurts. :)

Fear- that frustration will get the best of me.

Big fears, lol. Our youngest little girl is VERY independent and doesnt like help to do anything. Her older sister were all very easy going and were easy to potty train but I think Sophie is going to be a challange! :)

My grandson is a happy go lucky boy that right now does not show any interest in potty training.  Hopefully, he will soon. 

This will definitely be a blessing as we plan to train our 1st child this year!  Our biggest potting training fear is how long it will take our son to get it, so I guess we need to ask for patience!

I’m in the throws of it with my daughter and I’m starting to think my tombstone will say “death by potty training”. My daughter is scared of the big potty – maybe this will help?

I am currently fighting this battle with my twin boys. Lots of ups and downs. Just try to remember to be positive and lots of rewards, (candy and stickers works well with mine) when they do good. :)

My children have never been easy to potty train, and even my 5 year old can’t reach the floor with her feet yet, and she complains about her foot falling asleep. This is a wonderful solution! 

I have one year old twins so I will need something like this in a year or so!!!

My little one is potty training on the big potty, but I have to put her up and down each time. It would be great for her to be able to get up there on her own! Stickers have been really helpful so far!

Potty training fear: 2 in diapers.  My son is 31 months and not really interested in potty training.  He was about 3 weeks ago and we thought “ok…now it’s going to take off”.  It’s so frustrating, especially, when my mother in law tell me “I had no trouble”.  Lady, that was 30 yrs ago!  Now, we find out we are due to have another in September.

This would be great as we are in the middle of potty training right now. Always make a big deal when they do use the potty and do a sticker chart.

My biggest fear is my son will not be potty trained by this summer when he turns 3. He can’t participate in our church’s VBS and this would really upset him.

My biggest fear is that my 2 yr old girl will be stubborn like her brother and not potty train until 3.5 yrs old. I’m so over the diapers! This product may be just what will entice her. :)

stickers are helping me!!!!

I haven’t even started potty training my 19mth old daugher, but I am already nervous about going out and about while potting training.  Accidents away from the home can’t be fun!

We went straight to underwear and made a show of throwing away the diapers. It was a messy and stressful week or so, but to me one terrible week is sooo much better than months and months of “taking it slow”. Throwing away the diapers also meant day and night training at the same time, and surprisingly the night training didn’t take much longer than day training.

I recall a baby doll that wetted in the potty was the thing that seemed to help education the young trainee.  She understood accidents and the proper desired outcome.  The doll was the perfect illustration and training tool.  This Looster Booster I can see being a very useful thing in the coming months with my 2  youngest nephews.

You would think now that it is time to train my 6th child that I would be a pro at it.  Nope!!  My 2.5 year old son has a mind of his own.  He is not interested in the potty.  My biggest fear is that he will still wear diapers when he starts K-5.  LOL!!

My fear of potty training is losing the final thing that makes her a “baby.”

Well, after the first 2, I finally got it right with the 3rd.  We went straight to panties…no pull-ups, and no easing into it.  It only took about a week of constant cleaning, but then she was good to go.  She is small though, and the booster would be great for her.  She likes to do everything herself, so it would help establish some independence!!

Be consistent, and don’t bother with pull ups- explain it to the child, deal with messes for a day or two, and they will get it quickly. I teach toddlers at school, as well as have my own kids, and this seems to be by far the most effective method. Still use at nap/night as needed, of course.

I’d love one of these things; my 2 yr old is fine on her own, but she is 22lbs, tiny, and pretty much nearly falls in the big potty when I try her on that one. She’s not scared, but sheesh, LOL. She could sit in it and not touch the seat!

It’s been 11 years since I needed to potty train.  For the love, Jenny, this is something I need for my 23 mo. old!  Heeelllp!!!!

I have a daughter with special needs who we have tried to potty train but failed, so we are open to anything!  Maybe a new potty seat will give her the boost that she needs!

Don’t force it! I learned with my first that patience is key. One day she just decided to use the potty and has done so (night and day) ever since! I’m hoping my 2nd isn’t so stubborn!

My little one is 14 months old so we haven’t started training yet but I hear that using a reward system works well and documenting it on a reward chart helps too.

I don’t  have any fears for my son.. I am just ready to start the process because diapers can be costly week after week….

 Mini M&M’s! Promise that each time your kid goes potty, she gets two or three, but if she wipes herself then she gets four or five.

Patience, rewards, not pushing them too fast. And boys are harder than girls (usually)!

I am nervous that my son will not easily potty train before three and our daycare won’t accept them until they are completely potty trained.

My little one keeps going back and forth with training. I don’t want to force the issue so much with him but he knows when he needs to go he just isn’t connecting the two.
 

My biggest fear is that he will fall in and then refuse to every use the potty again!

Spend the entire day in the kitchen having snacks and drinks all day and reward them with M&M’s when they do go.

We have a speech delay, so although we are ready to take the plunge into toilet training, I’m afraid that a communication method won’t readily sink at potty time.

Communication is a problem right now.  Our son has a speech delay and relaying his needs is not something he does well.

I am struggling right now with potty training my daughter.  She knows after she goes potty, but is scared of sitting on the big potties in the house and her potty is always in the wrong part of the house when she has to go!

Great product! My tip is to be as stress-free as possible about the whole process. Clothing, floors, beds will get soiled and it’s best not to create anxiety for the child. And besides, I don’t think that I know of any child attending college in diapers. :)

I hate the thought of pee being everywhere but in the toilet and we have a little boy so…

I’m afraid if trying to potty train my 23mth old too early.

A little peer pressure was just the thing in my granddaughter’s case. She had a play date with a little older girl who was potty trained. That was enough to make her decide that she could too. Of course Elmo panties were great motivators too! 

 Sometimes it helps little ones to sit backwards on the toilet.  They
feel more secure and little boys don’t have to worry about their aim so
much!  And that sure helps Mama! :)

My fear is that I will be potty-training my daughter by myself and she will run to Daddy when she doesn’t want to go.  My husband is intimidated by girl bodily function issues.  He will change her #2 diapers if he has her by himself, but if I’m home he wants me to do it.  So when we start potty-training, he won’t want to deal with the extra mess, reminding, explaining, etc..  And certainly not if he takes her out somewhere.

For boys…. I was told Cheerios in the toilet and make it a game – get them to aim for them? :)

Rewards didn’t work for my son. He would tinkle a little to get his treat then leave a puddle a couple minutes later. He also wasn’t comfortable on the little potty seats. We had to put him in underwear and take him to the bathroom every 20 minutes for the first few days and we’re currently increasing the time between trips. We sit him on the seat facing the back of the toilet and he seems much more comfortable. I also make a fool of myself when he potties and always tell him how proud I am when he stays dry.

Potty training itself is a huge fear. We have 4 children under 4 and so potty training is an everyday reality. Just when we think we have one done another one is ready to start.

My tip would be to ditch the pull-ups (despite the miserable mess) and teach them from the very beginning to pull their own pants up and down (huge time saver).

I’ve only potty trained boys before.  I’m hoping that this baby girl of mine will be easier like I’ve been hearing.

It’s alot of work and very messy but the best tecnique I’ve seen is to allow the little one, as early as they can walk, wear underwear with rubber pants around the house.  The result is quick training because they don’t like to feel wet or messy, which they dont feel too much when they are wearing pull-ups or diapers.  It makes them more aware.  Ive seen two people use this tecnique and both children were trained by the time they were 18m old.

Cloth diapers…at least regular cotton training pants are so so much better than Pull-ups…Much more incentive for parents and toddlers.

Jelly beans as an incentive!!

I’m afraid of potty training as it is….but I’m more afraid of training a BOY!!! Hoping we will have success when the time comes!

My son was so easy to potty train, but my two year old little girl is a whole another story. Hopefully she will get the hang of it soon.  Love to win!!!

I am just starting to potty train our second child and she is terrified that she is going to fall in the toilet.  She holds on to me for dear life and cries the whole time.  She just wants to play in the childrens potty seats.  I think she would like this product because her feet would touch.

Wow…..we need this!!  Just started our second full week of “underwear only”….no tips yet, but would love to read others tips.

M & M’s :-)

My 16 month old wants to sit on the potty… nothing has “happened” yet but she is so excited to be just like her big brother & sister! I could sure use one of these! My potty training tip is not to try until your little one is ready. Otherwise, you will both be miserable. Good luck!

My son had wanted to stand at the toilet for a couple of months, but had never peed. I took him outside and told him to pee on a bush like he was watering it and he tried, but didn’t actually need to pee at that moment. The very next day when he stood at the toilet he finally peed in it! He was so excited that we stood there for 5 or 10 minutes and he kept trying as hard as he could until more pee came out. The Looster Booster sounds awesome because he has to stand on something to be able to stand and pee, and he refuses to sit down. Getting him to poop in the toilet may be difficult, but we are doing good on peeing like a big boy!

We tried everything with my daughter. It was aweful.
My son is 1 and not looking foward to it.
Maybe this would work

We are on week 2 of potty training my 2 year old. He will be 3 in April. So far, he has done good. He has only had one mistake, but that was mostly my fault. I forgot to make him go before we left the house to run errands. He takes his naps in undies and no accidents! Diapers/ pull ups at night though.

This is my first child, and I tke her to the bathroom when I have to go, to show her how it is done….I hope this works when she is ready to go…..she is only 8 mths and she was a premie….i have lots of fear having never done it before of poop or pee all over my bathroom floor since here favorite pass time at the moment is throwing things

I am nervous my daughter will have an accident in the middle of a supermarket :)

We are going to start potty training in another month or two. I am so afraid of all the accidents…especially the public ones!

I have been trying to potty train my 3 1/2 year old boy for some time now. He is more intrested in trying to flush the toilet paper down the toilet. I tried to bribe him with an extra bath because he loves water so much. No such luck yet, hopefully this would help him to be able to sit by himself.

Wait until they are ready.  I pushed my oldest daughter too soon and she resisted.  It turned into a battle.  Live and learn….hopefully daughter #2 will be a better experience!

I have a fear that when we are out we are going to be in the bathroom every hour and that we have to go to the nasty bathrooms at places!! Thats why we are not a hurry to potty train! And plus my little girl just turned 2 so no hurry!

no pullups – use underwear. Also, try to stay home for a week to devote yourself hardcore to training.

I am currently trying to potty train my son.  Potty training has tested my patience in soooo many ways.  My best tip for a parent: While running the bath, put your child on the potty. The running water always helps! This product would be awesome for my son. Maybe he would like potty’ing in the ‘big’ potty and would help his progress a little more. :)

I’d love this.  My biggest fear about potty training is trying to start it with a newborn in the house.

I have yet to potty train my daughter and I am afraid that it will be a struggle if she is as stubborn as I was.

every child is different, my first was motivated by any type of prize but refused to use tinkle targets…my second has no interest in bribery but loves to shoot the targets.  my second and I are still in the daily battles….

I am going to start potty training my daughter in April.  I am trying to talk about it with her a lot right now.  I do not want to use a child’s potty, but I am fearful that she will be afraid of getting up on to the adult toilet and am not sure how to make this “fun” for her. 

I have a potty training storybook to help and I let my daughter come with me and we make it fun!

I have a 4year old who uses the potty but my 2 year old will not even try. I have been trying to use pull ups and he thinks they are also diapers because they don’k look like his brothers underware.

My son is 22 mos old and has no interest in the potty.  he’ll sit on it with clothes on, that’s about it! We had it in the garage, but took it back out as soon as he started saying, “Mommy, change diaper.”  I know that when they tell you about their dirty diaper, its the first sign of readiness for the potty.  However he still has no interest!

I really would love to win this, my daughter is 2 yrs old and she is kinda interested in it but thinks her potty chair is a toy to just sit on, maybe with the Looster Booster she will want to actually go..please pick me I need help..Thanks Jenny for the awesome chance to win a great gift!

I’m afraid, like so many of my friend’s experiences, that my little boy won’t potty train until 3…in which case I would have 2 in diapers for over a year :-(

Potty training my 19 month old now, and repetition is the key! I take him to the potty first thing in the morning, after every meal, and right before bed – and also every time I visit the restroom. We try to make it a fun game so he will want to continue! I will check out their website because I would love to eliminate the training potty seat and go straight for the big potty :)

Throw a cheerio or fuit loop into the water for little bows- and have them practice hitting it

 We did underwear or naked around the house while potty training. It both motivated me to remember to take him potty more often, and it made it VERY clear to each of my boys when they did go- oopsy! We have hardwood floors, so the frequent clean-ups (for a while) were easy.

We haven’t entered the potty training stage yet. My biggest fear is knowing when it’s the right time to start with our little one.

My daughter would love this. She is on the smaller size for a 3 year old, and I’ve actually looked into having one of those conversion seats put on the toilet when we move. 
My biggest potty training tip is to not dwell. Any worries or frustrations will be a thing of the past. My daughter stopped wearing diapers a little over a year ago, and she has been fully potty trained since October, doesn’t even have bed time accidents.One thing I found that was really helpful was to not promise big prizes or rewards. When I initially did that, it just seemed like she was going on the potty to get the reward, then having accidents since she wasn’t associating her need to go. I feel like she was getting frustrated. Consistency will give you more success, and there are times your kid will retrogress after sudden changes. 
Every kid is different, some will take longer. If there is a long concern, you should definitely talk to your pediatrician about any sort of bladder issues. 

I think that being consistant even when its inconvenient and positive reinforcement are the most important part of potty training.

I agree, don’t push it. They’ll do it when they’re ready. Bribing, I mean rewarding, with stickers or small treats can help. And when you think they’ve got it accidents can happen at the worst times and places. Don’t worry, it’s happened to me. I lived through two.

We haven’t reached this stage yet, but I am definitely going to try the cheerios!

We just used lots of positive reinforcement and didn’t push either.  When they were ready, they let us know.  What an exciting (and money saving) time!

I think it’s tough no matter what tips or tricks you use so my best advice would be to try to remember that all kids eventually get it and maybe pray for extra patience as you go through it!  :)

My fear is that she won’t be potty trained in time for school next year- they are not allowed to join the 3 year old class until they are potty trained. My daughter Sarah’s 3rd birthday is in August right before school starts. She’s in the 2 year old class now. She does show some interest in it, but not consistently..and more often she’s running up to tell AFTER she’s already gone in her diaper! We’re gonna get after it this summer, would LOVE to win this step to help us get there!!!

I use a step stool for my grandchild so she can get on the big potty.

My oldest daughter (3) is potty trained, but only when I’m with her.  She refuses to go when at certain places and if I’m not with her. My fear is that she won’t be ready for school in the fall. 

Would love to win the Looster Booster! I’m taking care of my granddaughter, so I know It would be great not to have to clean out the little plastic bowl under the little potty like I used to do with my girls.

I plan to potty train my son this summer by basically doing nothing else for 4 days back to back.  I’m afraid that whatever progress we make will be undone when he returns to daycare the following week (he goes part-time)…

With my first child, we made a whole weekend of nothing but full-on potty training. It was exhausting, lol, but by Sunday night, she’d made her first potty, and I cried with joy, lol! Now we are trying to teach our second child to potty, and I’d actually forgotten all about “potty weekend” until just now, lol, so thanks for helping me remember. I think we will be doing this again really soon. Potty treats are also a big hit. We put stickers on the Potty Chart I made, and 1 M&M for #1 and 2 M&M’s for #2.

The Looster Booster would be awesome! Here is a tip I’ve heard: let your child pick out their own “big girl” or “big boy” underwear, with their favorite character, but they can only wear it if they are using the big potty instead of diapers. I’ve heard it works with some & am willing to try!

i am getting ready to conquor potty training, and i think we are not gonna do pull ups, because they think it is just a diaper and okay to pee in, so we are gonna do underwear, prolly some cute spiderman ones! lol!!!

My son never wanted to stop playing with the kids outside. So everyday when he came in he always said he didn’t tinkle it was just sweat. So I finally said if you’re sweating that bad maybe you need to stay in today otherwise you might want to try the potty so you can go outside and play. It worked. But I have to say what kids won’t come up with.

With my first I tried the pullups and it was awful for 6 months he just wouldnt tell me so finally I said you will have to wear big boy underwear (thank goodness for laminate hardwood flooring) after 3 days of feeling the pee run down his leg he never did it again. We only put on pullups at night so we wouldnt have a wet bed. We never did. I could really use this potty with my little girl her legs are so short she wont even try the potty

We started doing the naked potty training thing. But my daughter hated not having something covering up her bottoe half, so I just put panties on her and she has had maybe had 2 accidents. i’d love to start moving her to the big potty so this would work great!

I fear for when my niece starts getting potty trained because that means she is growing up, and I don’t want that! Her parents couldn’t afford something like this, but I may need to may an investment because it sounds really beneficial in the potty training process.

We are using m&m’s as treat for going on the big girl potty.  When the older kids help her, we have a mini m&m party.  Now everyone is on board.

I’m in the middle of it, and it is not going well.  I would love something else to try 8)

My fear is the whole thing!  My daughter is only a year but anything to simplify the process would be a godsend.

We did the 3 day potty training and it worked well for us.  Our son was pretty much potty trained by the end of day 3.  This stool would be great for those times he needs to spend a little extra time sitting on the potty!

The biggest thing for us was wearing real underwear instead of pull-ups.  My son thought the pull-ups were diapers and he would go anyway.  We always had a potty accessible when we were starting out.

The best tip I can give is don’t push them before they are ready.  It will cause them to go the other direction and really resist you.  This can cause it to take a lot longer to potty train.  I learned this the hard way.

lots and lots of patience…bribes help too :)

Nervous to start for fear of the poop!!

Sweet LORD! Please pick ME! We are trying to potty train our son right now and ANYTHING to make it go smoother would be awesome! My biggest fear…..that he will never poop in the potty…..everrrrrrrrr!

Well, I certainly don’t have any tips as my little one is turning 2 next week and I’m gonna need all the help I can get!!  LOL

I also used rewards (M&M’s) for using the potty.  I also let my little one drink lots of juice & eat salty snack to increase the frequency & need to use the potty.

Our son will be 3 in a few months.  Next fall he will be expected in his preschool class to be fully potty trained.  I don’t see how he’ll get there.  I work full time, so on the weekends when I’m with him the whole day, I’ve tried underpants.  I thought he was starting to catch on a bit.  But then on the weekdays he has to go back to preschool and drop in babysitting.  They won’t take the time to deal with accidents and request that he wears pull ups.  Without the consistency, I think he won’t learn.  It’s ironic the school wants him trained but won’t really help in the process.

My MIL gave DH a red M&M for each success!  lol  :D

We do “potty treats” of a small piece of candy. My 2.5 year old is mostly potty trained but he prefers to sit on the big potty, but it is hard to hold him there the whole time. This would be great.

We have been using elimination communication since my ds was 3 mo.  He is now 1 1/2 years and almost never poops in his diaper and is dry for longer and longer periods.  We are ready to switch over to the toilet and this looks like it would be great!  For anyone interested I would highly recommend googling “infant potty training” and “EC” (elimination communication) “diaper free baby” etc. it has worked great for us!

I am starting to potty train my two year old.  She is already a monkey, so this will be a big help!

Skip the pull ups….go straight to the big girl panties:)

This would be a great help when I keep my nephew and niece!  They are required to be potty trained at 2 yrs for Mother’s Day Out, and are WAY TOO SHORT to reach the potty!
I don’t want to EVER find them with trapped, wet and cold w/their ankles kicking by their ears like my sibling!  It was hilarious to everyone but the child.

I’m always afraid of hearing potty and finding it anywhere but in the potty! :(

They will let you know when they are ready. if you try to force it, you will have a frustrated parent and child.

Ours just gets up and crawls off! Hopefully she’s not going when it happens….

This sounds like a very neat product. I would love to own one for my in-home daycare, as I always seem to be potty training one child or another The thing I do that seems to be helpful is using the reward system. If they successfully go, then they can chose a sticker that they can wear proudly, they like to see how many they can collect in a day.

We are hosting a potty dance party!  8 toddlers and their parents are getting together to kick off the potty training journey together :)

I am currently potty training my twin girls and we have a step stool they use to get on the big potty. The downfall to this is that the step stool wobbles and makes them nervous. Having a secure stool would be awesome and would free me up from having to put them on and off the potty because of the insecure stool!

M and M’s worked wonders with my daughter!!! She got 2 for peeing and 1 for pooping in the potty!! She LOVED it… 

I’m just starting potty training my son and I have to admit I’m scarred to death he’s going to fall in the toilet! He holds on for dear life and that distracts him from actually getting down to business! One of these steps would be awesome!!

Wait until they are ready.

finally switching my 2 year old to big boy underwear and then having an accident while out of the house.  oh, potty training is not fun so far, but i keep reminding myself of all the $$$ to be saved when we are finally out of pull ups and diapers.

My advice after my potty-training my two boys is always remain positive. And if there are other adults involved, make sure you are all on the same page. Mixed messages were a big problem with our first son.

We are just starting to train our 2yrd old boy!! We are more nervous than anything!

I keep a training potty in the car to avoid having to use the public restrooms all of the time with a little one who is potty training.

I am so terrified of starting the potty training process, but I know that two in diapers will not be fun!  I’m worried about her being stubborn, going in her underwear instead of making the trip to the bathroom.

This is great.  I hate to have to remove the old style seat because it was usually wet!  Kids hate to have their feet dangle, can’t blame them for that, and this keeps their feet level.  I agree and think this is an awesome product!  My granddaughter is not quite ready to be potty trained, but this would be very helpful!

On my daughter the best thing was the thick training panties. She felt the yucky wet and I usually knew before I had a huge mess. With my son I am afraid of the mess, because I am fairly sure aim is something that has to be practiced.

We put some Cheerios in the potty to let our son aim for them when he was training.  He thought it was a fun game! 

at this rate in potty training i feel my child will be 5 years old and still in diapers…..eggghhh!!!

We are trying to potty train my daughter.  She will be 3 in May.  She doesn’t want to try at all,  She tells us, “No, I like my diapers.”  We’ve tried rewards and she doesn’t care for them at all.

We have a few more months before we start, but I’ve learned to incentivize my son already. He loves to know he’s made his daddy proud, so I’m assigning the task of “Sink-The-Cheerios” to the hubby. I’ve heard giving boys something to aim for is a good way to go…but if it’s food make sure it’s something they don’t like to eat so they don’t dive in after it.

When I was potty training my 2 girls I told myself (almost every day) that you never see 20-yr olds running around in diapers.  It helped me to not stress about potty training.  :)  Hope it works when it’s time for my son to potty train! ;) 

I got my daughter some potty training books at the library to build her interest in the process.  She loves books, so I thought that might help with a new experience.

Stickers, stickers, & more stickers……oh yeah, & candy!!

 My fear:   My 2 year old runs to the bathroom when she has to go.  If she beats me there, she automatically starts climbing up the potty on her belly.  My fears are that a) she will either plunge head first into the potty or b) because she climbs up head/belly first, she uses her hands all over the seat, I can only imagine the germs (even though it’s cleaned daily) she gets.
We sure could use a looster booster!

It took my mom to potty train my son…all she had to do was give him a thumbs up for going on the potty and my son made a huge turn for the better in our potty training journey.  Sometimes just having someone besides mommy and daddy to instill the same practices do wonders.

I’m worried both that my child will be a late potty trainer — and also that I’ll push too hard before my child is ready! Kind of a strange mix, I know! :-)

I’m afraid my daughter will get kicked out of preschool like my best friends 4 year old did for having accidents.

If your child is scared by loud noises, know where the public flush toilets are. I tried covering the sensors with toilet paper or a sticky note, but my kid would not go on them until recently. Tip from another mom to help build confidence, “all potties say whoosh.” She thought that sounded funny and began to relax if we saw one. It still took a long time for her to use a sensor style. We carried a back set of clothes in the car in case we couldn’t find a flush potty in time.

Our daughter started with regular panties for day time. She was wearing pullups only at night because she was still wetting the bed. The offer was she could choose her own style of underwear if she started to stay dry overnight and could go potty as needed during the night. The character panties were a little more expensive, but it paid for itself in not having to buy any more pullups.

Make a game of it, children love games and rewards.

i’m worried that my house will smell like pee!!!!!

My fear is that I will try to get my daughter to potty train too soon.

My fear is that my daughter will touch the toliet in a public restroom.

We held three different colored M&M’s and told him if he peed he got to pick one M&M and if he did a #2 he got to pick two colors of his choice. It helped to teach him his colors and he got a “treat” for going potty which helped him not to be afraid of the toilet.

We love the sticker chart too. However, my fear is that we’ll miss our “window of opportunity” with our second son like we did with our first. It took a long time to get our first son bathroom trained after that.

I started trying to potty train 3 months ago before I got pregnant. Now I vomit just thinking of dumping the little potty after he poops. It would be amazing to just be able to use the “Big Potty.” My biggest fear is having 2 kids in diapers. I would LOVE this!

We had our daughter run around the house naked for a few days – she didn’t want to go without her pants on!

My son struggles with a sever expressive speech delay and while he his already 2.5 years old and we have been doing potty introduction and have him sit on a training potty every day for the last 6 months we have not really made much progress. Logically I know he will learn one day but emotionally its hard for me to see that happening sometimes. Now that I am pregnant with #2 my sister in law really recommends we switch to a stool and the regular toilet for when he does start trying to go.

I dont really know what to do beyond what we are doing now but I do have some hints on how we got here. We use positive reinforcement only, he never sees disappointment or anger relating to going to the potty. He gets a chocolate chip (we are going to try stickers next) every time he sits on it and while he is sitting I sing to him or he looks at a book or something else distracting. I describe going potty while I do diaper changes give him lots of praise when he tells me he has a dirty diaper. I also tell him when I need to go potty and modestly show him how I do it. We also read the potty training sub reddit to see what other parents are doing and get new ideas this way.

I was told for a boy put a couple of fruit loops in potty stool and have him to point and hit in the middle of the fruit loop.

Praise, Praise, Praise.  Keep telling them how big they are.  It really does work. 

“Hit the Fruit Loops” is about all I know.  lol   

My day care is waiting until my daughter moves to the next class to potty train, but she is doing it at home already. I feel like they are setting her back.

We keep a little potty in the car for the first couple months… so can keep in panties without having accidents.

My grandson is 13 months old and will become a big brother when he is 15 months old.  Potty training this time next year will be a big deal!  When raising my own just the praise of being successful was always enough!

I’m trying to train my 2 year old twin daughters and need some tips myself!

Potty training is not my friend. My son has to wear an eyepatch for a pediatric cataract and we have to deal with that all day, so I was terrified to start potty training. It went really well for a few days…and now, poop/pee everywhere!!  I know he won’t still be in diapers when he is in school, so I’m hanging on:)

I am currently potty training my daughter now; she LOVES stickers, so I am trying to use them as rewards. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will be successful.

biggest fear is not making it to the bathroom while on a road trip.

If you have a Wii and a boy that you’re potty training, don’t let him play it unless he uses the potty. That’s what we did and he was potty trained within 2 weeks!

Our son wanted so badly to be a “big boy” and for everyone to tell him that. So every time he used the potty we made it a big deal and would call people and brag (in front of him) about what a big boy he was! He was potty trained quickly after we started doing that!

Tried potty training back at Christmas. It didn’t go so well, he insisted “he pee-pee floor!” So, after several accidents on the floor we decided he wasn’t quite ready yet. We need him to pee-pee in the potty not the floor. haha

Have not thought about potty training in over 25 years (praise the Lord) but I have a new little grandson that will need one soon. I would love to be able to make this product available to him! Best potty training tip I can offer is not to rush the whole potty training thing. Wait until they are ready. 

 Tip: Don’t punish them or make them feel bad for not going. Only encourage and celebrate when they do.  Good luck to all potty trainers!

consistancy. you cant train them to go to to the potty at home but put a diaper on them when its conveniet for you

To help boys learn throw little decomposiable things for them to aim at.

We’re just starting to potty train.  She’s already kinda afraid of the big potty because she feels unsafe.  Would love to win this so she could learn on the big potty!

I have 2 little ones in diapers so this would be great.   My older one just turned two and no success yet, but the biggest thing we have tried is to keep encouraging her and making her like trying to go.  

I haven’t started this process yet, but it won’t be long. My concerns are being out in public…how do you do it when your out doing errands, at church, on the road etc. and, do you teach boys sitting down or standing up? Silly I know but this is my first time! :)

My fear is that it’ll take until he’s 3 to get him trained.

I am getting ready to start potty training my first child and I have heard horror stories that it is the hardest thing to do.  I am not looking forward to having to empty the potty chair basin I have a hard enough time rinsing her cloth diapers.

My biggest potty training fear is public restrooms!  Yuck!

I’ve potty trained my daughter and son and my daughter was the easiest and caught on quick. My son had abt 6mo of #2 accidents before becoming fully potty trained. They both were introduced around 1 but we didn’t really press til the 3rd bday. Which was just fine with our household. :)

I potty trained all four of my children…successfully…lol…good thing since they are now all in their 20’s and having babies of their own!! The trick I have is really just to be consistent…as will all things parenting, it is the most applicable with potty training also.  You may be tired and not wanna get up, but set a timer for every two hours during the day and take the little one to potty, even if they say they dont have to go…and then reward them when they do!! It doesnt have to be candy…and great big shout out and a big hug always worked. So now I have grandchildren that are learning to go “on the potty” and this product sounds like it will help alot at Grammy’s house!!

When potty training my now 5 year old one huge mistake we made was putting pressure on her to never have an accident. They are going to have accidents…I’m hoping to be more accepting when potty training my 1 1/2 year old.

Wait! I think too many people start too early potty training their child. It just frustrates mom and dad and gives the kiddo potty anxiety. I started at 28 months with my now four year old and she never had a nighttime accident and few daytime accidents. It was sooo- much easier than when I started at 23 months with my now 10 year old. Five months makes a world of difference when you are two!

Rewards! I’ve been giving my 2 year old M&M’s when she goes so now its like a game. If she goes she gets a few M&M’s. Works wonders!

Patience is my tip and my fear is that I’m never gonna get started!  I keep a soon to be 2 yr old and I don’t have any equipment.  My own daughter is ten so I don’t have a left over potty just laying around.  I would love to win this so we can get started!

I have two boys 21 months apart and started potty training my eldest a few months ago… Start potty training a warm part of the year so the kid can just run around naked outside for a few months….they’ll figure out what the whole potty training thing is about…it worked for us!

My biggest fear was my daughter would have an accident in public while we were potty training.  Thankfully it never happened! 

my son is almost 2 so its time! I will try sticker charts.

Use M&Ms as a reward.

I am so afraid of all the laundry I will have to endure while potty training, I am sure we will go through several outfits a day!

I am not looking forward to wet sheets every morning!

I’m afraid my son will not become interested, it worked for a few days, now he is afraid of the potty! :(

I am about to start with a 2YO!  I want this! 

We are in the process of training our almost 3 year-old son…  should we start on sitting down or standing up?

My son is almost three, and very resistant to training. He is a bit small for his age, and even with a little potty seat over the regular toilet his feet don’t reach our stool. I am sure this would make him feel more confident, and maybe even try training again!

My daughter Scarlett Leigh just celebrated her first birthday  *cupcake themed*  :) Potty training is our next milestone to tackle (besides attempting to teach her to “self – soothe” at night time which feels like an uphill battle LOL).  With all of her milestones  from eating her first solid food (sweet potatoes) or when my husband and I read countless reviews and ratings on rear – facing car seats and FINALLY decided on her big girl seat, I have given my best to give her the love and support she needs to achieve them. I love my daughter, and look forward to helping potty train her. I have full confidence for when she is ready to, she will. So, my biggest fear with her potty training experience is knowing when she is developmentally ready and understands the process.  I know we may have struggles, however I want to provide for her the tools and confidence she needs to succeed!

We did the treat it’s lots of praise and dancing! Our next

 I restarted my son’s potty training with the potty training app on my phone. he likes getting the phone calls from rachel.

Put a penny in the toilet and have them aim at the penny – he likes to see if he can hit the penny

m&m’s!

Making the potty accessible while still usable by adults…. genius! 

I have twin boys. My greatest fear is the bathroom location! And of them fighting over who goes first!

Making it not scary is very important.  Alot of kids are afraid they are going to fall in.  I read Once upon a Potty to my son and told him that big boys use the potty chair.  It is important to take the stress out of this learning process.

I put Cheerio’s in the toliet for my son, so that he could aim at them, I also put the blue tablets in so he could turn the water grren when he went

Let them figure when its time to start! my 3 yr old is still potty training. that has been the best way to work with us.

We offer a sticker or treat each time our son goes on the potty.  He can proudly display his stickers on a special poster we made by the potty or he can opt for the treat (usually a jelly bean or soft fruit snack).  My only fear is that he will have an accident and get set back so we try to always be super positive about everything.

sounds awesome that adults & child can use the same potty wo all the extra steps of a child potty. only a mom w/several kids would think of this.  my little one is almost to the potty stage would love to give this  shot.

My biggest fear about potty training is how to teach a boy to go when I clearly don’t have that experience.

I’ve been offering “money” every  time we have a successful attempt… Since I am a single mom in nursing school, potty training is very difficult being that all of the caregivers that help me are not consistent!  However, giving a penny or 2 to add to her piggy bank has been the most successful way thus far!

To get my daughter to potty tain, we bought a bag of the snack size M&Ms. Every time she went in the potty, she got a treat of M&Ms. She was trained in no time!

I think this would be great to help mawmaw and mom when teaching our little boy to aim and hit the target!  lol

i take him to potty every 30 minutes and put underwre on him in day time if he uses the potty he gets a treat of some kind

I tried to use stickers, toys, and pennies with my first son. None of them worked, so we decided to wait a while. One day he just decided he was ready for underwear, and even though he had some accidents, he never used diapers again. I’m interested to see how my second will train.

I know I am going to have to start potty training any day now so this would be a great help. I’m worried about the germy mess that will inevitably come with it.

My worst fear is that he is so stubborn that he will take forever to potty train..lol

I just started potty training my 2yr old and it’s not going too smoothly, but I hope that by the time he’s 2 1/2 he’ll have it down

I am fearful of public bathrooms!

I will be potty training again soon!  My first son was so easy and he is 12!  I just did alot of reward and made him go every few hours and sit on the potty even if he didnt have to go!

My grandson is being challenged at this, I don’t like him touching everything around on the commode and this may be what we need for it not to b a challenge.  I HOPE

We reward with M&M’s and when we are at home we have been putting her in underwear ( thankfully we do not have carpet!) I would love to have the looster Booster… no extra cleaning & I think it would help her to use the potty like mommy does!

Have them try when you are around to be in underwear not the pull ups (even though they are great for going out) that way if you miss making it to the toilet they feel. My son caught on right away he didnt like being wet.

I think pushing the potty training can led to a lot of frustration on the parents part…they will be ready when they r ready..starting potty training soon with the little one :]

My biggest fear us training two at the same time

Encourage – but don’t force a child to be potty trained.  It will happen. 

Have older sibling help train the younger–just make sure the older one doesn’t push the younger one into the toilet.  It sets the younger one back big time. 

I don’t have any tips as I’m just now getting ready to start potty training but I have a bunch of fears to share….what if my baby stays in diapers forever? what if she is potty trained and not a “baby”……..they grow up sooo fast :(

I fear my son spraying everywhere : )

Follow the child’s lead with potty training. They we start potty training when they   are ready.

My daughter is 5 years old and on the short side. Even know shes pottie trained the Looster Booster would make it alot easier to use the pottie.

Just started potty training and am hoping to be successful before we have our twins who are due in June. This Looster Booster looks helpful.

We are working on potty training now and knew patience was key.  It’s been helpful to just put her in underwear instead of pull-ups (as we believe they seemed too much like a diaper to her).  When she has an accident, or starts to go, she feels it more readily.  A Looster Booster would be a great help as our daughter’s feet can’t reach her step stool when she’s sitting. 

I dont have a good potty training tip other than wait until they are ready.  I think my 2 year old daughter is getting there.  Would love to have this instead of the potty chairs I used for my boys.  Thank you for the chance to win!

If you have an older child and your baby is learning to use the toilet, have your baby take his potty and sit down on it while the older sibling is using the toilet. It would make your baby feel as though he/she is all grown up. That’s how I potty trained my middle son and so far, it is working on my baby

My biggest tip would be to start early, but don’t rush or pressure.  I put my daughter’s potty chair out at 18 months and never made a big deal out of it – usually when I was going potty, she would try too.  I encouraged her, but never pushed, insisted, berated, or yelled.  And she was potty trained just a month after her second birthday. :-)

Be patient and remember every child will eventually do it

Boys are hard.  They want to stand up and all I can think of is to put fruit loops in the toilet for them to aim at.  It works GREAT!

Just started to work on potty training my 20 month old. Lots of patience and carry an extra set of clother everywhere.

I don’t know how to get my daughter to leave the toilet paper alone long enough to focus on going potty!

i am afraid of taking a long trip with a newly potty-trained child!

my tip is to put cheerios in the toilet for the boys and let them aim and fire away …my son was pottied trained in no time he was only 13 months old and boys are hard to train

Ha, one of my daughters would cry when she was potty training because she thought there was a potty monster.  She still is the fastest in and out of the bathroom.  LOL

My son sat facing the toliet — otherwise he feared he would fall in and be flushed away.
