Toilet training seat

So my ds (2.5yrs) has decided he doesn't want to wear a nappy anymore and has pretty much potty trained himself in the past week! Sounds great although I'm 37 wks pg so wasn't planning on starting this til early summer when things are more settled... Anyway... He also wants to go on the loo but I think one of those training seats that go on top of the loo will help him sit more comfortably. Anyone any recommendations? I don't know where to start tbh.

Thanks!

Whatever you buy, make very sure he can't pull it over his head!

Many year ago my DS was 'managing by himself' on the loo. When I went to check, he had pulled the loo seat over his head and it was round his neck. I tried for ages to get it off, but it wouldn't go back over his ears. I couldn't get him in the car seat to go to A&E as he wouldn't fit in it. I ended up walking up and down the road (newly moved in so didn't know anybody) until I found a kind lady who helped me grease him with baby oil, hold his ears in and wiggle the loo seat off.

I did away with it after that. DS is a grown up soldier nowadays, but we still tease him when he goes to the loo!

'The first years soft grip trainer seat' its excellent

Fits well doesn't wriggle around and catches the pee if it goes up instead of down! (My sons does ALOT)

Got mine on amazon for £7 I think?

The Tippitoes seat is really cheap and is excellent. Just rests on top of the toilet seat so never gets in the way.

Consider not having One and just get a step. It means if you have to take them anywhere else it's not a big deal. Also does he go to nursery? Ours has full sized toilets.

We've hot a loo seat with a smaller seat attached, so two seats in one. It was from kiddicare. We've got ds1 who is 2 and also a1yo so figured it would be I place for a while. Ds1 is perfectly capable of taking himself and climbing on with a step (although gas now decided he wants to stand up so the fun has truly begun )
