Using the toilet as opposed to potty

Hi
I have previously toilet trained DT's when they were 2.2 using a potty but absolutely hated it! I don't know why but I've got a really adversion to cleaning a potty but am fine with nappies. Anyway, has anyone successfully tried just using a toilet trained seat with their children as DS3 (2) is showing signs of wanting to try to go to the toilet. Many thanks

yup, never owned a potty.
But my two were both 3+ when they started using the toilet, and both trained in a day or two, so it was much of an issue.

wasn't much of an issue....

sorry for disjointed reply
I should add, that as long as your DS isn't scared of falling in, or isn't scared of the flush (some children are), I would go for it. Can't hurt to try, and just think how much easier for you it will be. Let his older brothers be good role models for him - I bet he will want to copy what they do.

Go for it. Dd preferred the toilet to the potty and didn't even want a training seat.

Thanks, it looks like it is feasible. I'll let you know how I get on
