BabyBjörn Potty Chair - White/Grey

Overview

A chair-style potty from Swedish brand BabyBjörn for toilet training, with a high backrest, armrests and an inner potty that lifts out for emptying and cleaning. It has a splashguard at the front and a rubber strip underneath that keeps it in place on the floor.

Key features (per BabyBjörn and the Amazon.sa listing)

• High backrest and armrests so your child can sit comfortably for as long as they need.
• A height that lets children sit down and stand up on their own, with plenty of leg room.
• Inner potty with a front handle that lifts out to empty, then rinse or wipe clean.
• Inward-sloping splashguard to reduce spills outside the potty.
• Rubber strip under the base helps it stay put on the floor.
• Made of polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE); BabyBjörn says it is BPA-free and PVC-free.

What reviews found

• This Amazon.sa listing holds 4.8/5 from 905 ratings, 84% of them five stars and only 1% at two stars or below.
• Mother&Baby's UK team tested it with parent testers and their toddlers for over a month, scoring it 5/5 for support, ease of use, ease of cleaning and durability and 4.5/5 for comfort and stability; the only con listed was a higher price than basic potties.
• BabyGearLab's review of this potty summarizes parent feedback: easy to clean and comfortable thanks to the back and armrests, but some parents of boys feel the splashguard could be higher, and the inner potty can stick slightly to the skin after long sits.

Who it suits

• Parents starting potty training who want a stable, comfortable potty a child can use independently.
• Toddlers who feel more secure with a backrest and armrests.
• BabyBjörn says most children are ready to start between 18 and 24 months; the key is to begin when your child seems ready.

Limits before buying

• On Amazon.sa it costs more than many basic potties, and prices vary by colour.
• The splashguard may not be tall enough for some boys, according to some parents.
• It is a full-size chair (about 36 × 35 × 31.5 cm), so it is less travel-friendly than compact potties or toilet seats.
• Stock of this colour on Amazon.sa was low when we checked.

Care and use

• Lift out the inner potty, empty it, then rinse with water or wipe clean.
• BabyBjörn does not recommend cleaning at high temperatures; use a non-abrasive sponge or brush.
