Potty training toilet seat recommendations?

We are potty training 2 year old boy. He’s doing quite well. What toilet seat did you find worked best for you? We are looking at either one of the integrated family seats with a small stool or one of those ones where it’s got the stairs attached.

I have a newborn and I am 2 months post c section so one that allows him to get on a bit easier by himself (fully supervised) would be welcome.

I just used the plastic one and a step. I found being able to steam clean the plastic seat helpful.

We have a family seat in one of our bathrooms and it's great. Much easier to get on and my 4 year old now doesn't need a stool any more (whereas the ones you put on top obviously end up a bit higher).
My 2 year old is still a bit intimidated by the big toilet, so he just goes on his potty, but I think he'll come round to the family toilet seat first as it looks more normal and is lower to the ground.

Yes the family seats are great, no clutter, no faffing if they're in a hurry and it's less pain than having to clean out a potty every time. We have them in both of our toilets.
