Best potty for a boy

My 3 year old still won't use the toilet. He uses a pottery quite happily, but he ends up weeing over the floor a lot. He sits on properly, but seems to wee sideways somehow!
Does anyone have any recommendations of a potty with a higher front that might contain it more. I've looked at a Pourty potty, I like the idea of how it empties as well. Has anyone used it with boys, or has experiences with others?

Toddler step and straight to aiming...
I have 8 x ds's. Potty was no good!!

I liked the pourty potty and bought it and it's not great. I prefer the cheap IKEA one - the green insert can be removed and emptied / cleaned.

But like PP it's a game changer if you can get them peeing standing up.

I've tried sitting and standing - he completely refuses at the moment! He's just started pre school and I'm hoping the smaller toilets there may help/encourage him, but no sign at the mo.
I'm fed up of cleaning the floor and changing his wet socks! 😂

I have the IKEA one and just remind him to tuck his willy in!

I do wonder if he's got a kink in it. He holds it down and can still pee sideways! 🙄

Is he holding it down too hard? We had this, but thankfully my MIL had an old boys potty, which was bigger than new ones.

Ugh - parents went to IKEA on Weds, typical!

We turn the potty around so that the higher back bit becomes the front. Works 99% of the time...

We do the same with the toddler toilet seat too
