Moving from potty to toilet

Feeling rubbish as been stuck in a rut. My 4 year old was great at potty training, done in a few days. Moving from potty to toilet for a pee was absolutely fine but she's always scared of doing a poo. Rather than have her constipated I went with it. Start of summer hols was my aim to get rid of the potty but she got so upset each time I've left it.

Yesterday was first day I've taken away the potty. She did go on the toilet twice in the end but didn't manage to do anything. I let her take the tablet up to watch to see if she'd relax. Have also reinstated the chart for rewards etc.

Any tips or any thoughts of the way forward? I'm scared of her being constipated or stressed.

Have you got a toddler seat for the toilet that is stable and doesn't wobble? And have you got steps so that she doesn't have her feet dangling? Noone likes trying to poo while worried they'll fall in or off the toilet!

Yes have the toddler seat and a step but I think her legs are dangling still so maybe need to find a way to have her feet on the step. Thanks.

She seems to be scared of the splash. Another failed day so I'm worried how this will affect her stomach?

I've put toilet tissue down the toilet to limit a splash but she's still scared.
