Potty recommendations

Hi,

So I have a bit of an issue in that my 2.5 year old child hates the potty! This isn’t my first child and haven’t had this issue before.

Just purchased a bog standard potty and when it comes out, she grabs it and throws it and screams no… however…

Our little bathroom bins, next to the toilets in the bathroom… she LOVES sitting on. She pulls down her nappy and sits on there happily and says “toilet, toilet” and “look mummy”. She will do this all the time (thankfully hasn’t done any business on there Grin).

I am not pushing her to potty train but I would like to have one around and encourage the idea… so given she loves to sit on a bin rather than a normal potty- has anyone got any recommendations for a potty I can buy that she may like?

My 1st son hated it and went straight to the toilet. You can get certain inserts for the toilet. Id give this a go!
