Sooner or later, but all parents go through a painstaking activity - teaching the baby to the pot. But not everyone gives due attention to this. The fact is that choosing the right pot is the key to your future success. Therefore, we suggest that you study the special subtleties of such a scrupulous business.
How to choose a pot for a child: selection criteria
Young parents often have more questions on this topic than answers. But it’s good when they explain these questions, and do not trust blindly fashion or unusual innovations in such a simple device. Therefore, the choice of pot should be treated with all seriousness and thoughtfulness.
At what age do you need to choose a pot?
- As practice shows, for children, teaching to the pot is not the most pleasant procedure. Usually, most parents think about it when the child is hardly a year.
- And when he categorically refuses to teach, parents think that the whole thing is aged. But this is not so - the whole process depends on the readiness and desire of the child himself. Some children, waiting for a year, want to "study." And there are such children who are almost 3 years old, and they will not decide.
- And this is not a problem, this is normal in both cases. The main thing is to act correctly. And if you want to read the child to the pot quickly, you should arm with these recommendations in the material "How to teach a child to a pot".
Important: the optimal age when you need to choose a pot and engage in teaching crumbs is 1.5 years.
Choosing the best material for the pot
- The desire to learn from a child may also depend on whether the pot likes the pot or not. This is one of the main reasons.
- In the distant past, pots were made of metal. They were quite heavy and uncomfortable when carrying. But the most important minus - they are cold!
- To date, the task has been much simplified, because the pots do from plastic. After all, it is easier, more convenient and very easily washed, and most importantly - pleasant to the priest.
- But, there are also nuances here. When choosing a pot, pay attention to the quality and it is better to spend time on a good pot once. After all, then you will have to run every month after a new pot, which is cheaper. Please note that plastic it must be dense, not bend and be safe!
Important: note that there should be no irregularities, roughnesses, and, moreover, sharp protrusions on the surface.
- There are even wooden pots. But they only look beautiful. In fact, it is not entirely simple to wash such beauty. Moreover, the tree has the ability to absorb moisture.
Age criterion when choosing a pot
- The label indicates the permissible age of the crumbs. But this business is very personal. The fact is that one child at 2 years weighs 20 kg, and someone is running with 12 kg.
- Therefore, you should not focus only on the age criterion. Better remember:
- the baby's legs should conveniently reach the floor;
- he should not fall into the pot;
- but the sides should not squeeze the ass.
Pot color when choosing it
- In fact, it does not play any role in the practical side. You just need to choose the pot that your baby will like. But here is a small recommendation - you should not take light shades. They are more noticeable spots that may appear over time.
Important: consider the stability of the pot. The kid should not fall on it. It is also advisable for this to choose a pot with a back so that the baby can lean. And do not forget that the baby, getting up, should not overturn it.
Which pot to choose: define with the view
There are many types of pots. Moreover, they not only differ in color, but also in shape. Therefore, when you begin to choose a pot, your eyes literally begin to scatter. Moreover, it is also worth considering the peculiarity of each class. Therefore, it is worth weighing all the pros and cons.
- Classical - An ordinary pot on which we grew up. That is, such a "vase" with a wide throat and a pen. Its only plus is the price, the rest is disadvantages. The kid can fall from him, sit uncomfortable, overturning it easily, and it will be cold from the metal. There are plastic counterparts, but they are even more unstable.
- Chairs - One of the most comfortable pots. There is a back on them, which allows the child to lean. Sustainable, even if the baby does not calmly sit. The container is removed, which becomes convenient to wash. Often they go with a lid, but there is a lot about it only when you do not go to wash the pot right away. The price is also within the limits of the permissible value. Ahead can go with a protrusion and without, but we will return to this aspect.
- A pot in the form of a saddle. They are with a great protrusion in front, and the baby sits in it, as in the saddle. They are very stable, even when the baby rises sharply, it is difficult to overturn the contents. Although in children everything is possible. The price is very pleasant. But you need to wash the whole structure. Although we would not call it a good minus.
- There is a similar plan of pots, where the child sits down according to the same scheme, but toys go ahead. They can be of different style, type and shape, but we will not consider them separately. In principle, they are convenient. But the only verdict that applies to everyone pots with toys - This is impractical. To wash, these toys need to be disconnected. Or carry this colossus with you. The price is many times more than for a separate set of pot and colorful toys.
But the most important minus - the child is not focused on the process itself. Remember - the baby needs to accustom that he goes to the toilet, and not played. After all, this only delayed the addiction to the pot, because the baby is distracted.
- The same category belongs and musical pot. Its secret is that when moisture gets to the bottom, a pleasant melody begins to play. We also say no. Children quickly catch this and, in order to hear an interesting sound, they will fill it every half hour. But only any liquid that is found in the house. Let's just say this is an extra waste of money.
- Mowle-transformer Very practical. First, he serves you a pot, and then turns into a seat on the toilet and a foot stand. Sustainable, but expensive, in comparison with budget models.
- Road pot It may take shape. It is laid out with a small chair on the legs. A package-lodge is inserted into the hole. Convenient in nature or walk. But wearing it is already a dubious matter that decides for itself. It is not worth using it at home - the knives can turn out, and each time you do not use packages very economically, and its dimensions are not entirely convenient.
- Children's seat for the toilet Suitable for guys in 4-5 years. Keep in mind that it should lie tightly in a large seat and conveniently get out. For a child, it is also worth considering a stand if he does not yet get the legs to the floor.
How to choose a pot on a floor characteristic?
- Pot to the boy More oval shape is suitable. It is also worth taking with a fairly high and wide protrusion so that the liquid does not spray during the process, and better with the back for convenience. Based on the back, the child will feel more comfortable, and in childhood comfort is very important.
- Therefore, it is worth giving preference to a saddle -shaped pot. It is better to refuse the classic version without porticoes. A chair with a suitable protrusion is also suitable.
- If you have a girl, then it will be easier to choose a pot. The problem when choosing can be only a color that a daughter likes or does not like, but this problem is solved very quickly.
- Basically, any pot of round shape is suitable, which does not have to have a ledge in front. If he is, then his size does not play a role.
Important: think about the presence of a pen. It is sometimes interesting for children to remove the pot. Therefore, take care of such convenience. After all, the baby should not shed the contents due to the fact that he could not hold it in his hand. It also acts as a small hint about the dimensions of the future pot.
As you can see, choosing a suitable pot is not so difficult, you should just take into account the aspects important for yourself. And do not forget, if your child cannot learn to sit on the pot, but the garden will not wait - do not panic. Most children sit on the pot while in the kindergarten, repeating behind their peers.
