Review of BABYBJÖRN Safe Step

I thought the price was a bit steep for a step stool, but man is it well made!This step stool will not budge, with all the rubber grips it has.It's also a lot nicer looking after it's been used a while because the black rubber on the top wears so nicely.I looked at another step stool in the BRU store when I bought this, and its rubber already looked icky just from people testing it out.This Baby Bjorn one is also very strong, even for heavier children.I'm very pleased!

Product Description:
"I can do it myself!" Toddlers are at a stage of development in which they are discovering their identities and learning autonomy. But sometimes, when things are out of reach, they need a little boost. This is where the Safe Step Stool from Baby Bjorn comes in. With the Baby Bjorn Safe Step your child can safely and easily reach things around the house. The step stool's rubber padded legs stabilize the step stool and prevent sliding. The rubber matting on top of the step creates a no-slip surface for your child to stand on. The Safe Step stool truly lives up to its name. Every toddler deserves one!

Review of BABYBJÖRN Toilet Trainer

My daughter started with the Baby Bjorn stand alone potty seat - which was great when she was just getting started with the idea of using a potty. She quickly became too tall to use the stand alone potty seat, so I ordered this Baby Bjorn Toilet Trainer and it has been fantastic. She quickly learned how to put the seat on the toilet herself and adjust the wheel to make it snug. It was also easy for her to remove and hang on a small butterfly doorknob my husband attached to the side of the sink cabinet. The seat gave her a great sense of independence and allowed her to be comfortable and secure while learning to use the big potty.

It is also great for traveling. I would put it in a zippered canvas tote and carry it with us into rest areas (it really does fit any toilet) - she could sit securely and be protected from unclean surfaces (I would carry a small container of Disinfectant wipes to clean her seat off each time we used it in a public restroom).

I highly recommend this Baby Bjorn Toilet Trainer!

Review of BABYBJÖRN Little Potty

My sons are 6.5 months old, and 2 years old. I purchased this potty when my eldest son turned 10 months old.

I wasn't exactly potty training him then, just letting him get used to the apparatus. I could tell he enjoyed it though. He had it on his head, he liked to put bouncy balls in the "pot", and eventually (about a week later) he began to sit on it while anyone was in the bathroom.

I love the design of the little potty. Both of my boys happen to be very small, my oldest is quite thin and tall, while my other son is just tiny. This potty is NOT for larger/older trainers, but it happens that my boys fit the potty just fine. The whole concept is also no where to be found other than in the Little Potty... straddling. Yes, your child "squats" onto the potty, and holds the little handle, a.k.a. the splash guard. The child should be comfortable, and the possition is actually very "good" for "making". There is no where for your child to lean back, but durring those longer time periods, the design of the potty makes it so that the child doesnt become too uncomfortable. I can justify to its comfort because my children like to sit on it to watch television, so it honestly cannot be too bad!

The potty is also completely one piece, and I mean that's all it is. Its lightweight, and even stackable! The wide base means it wont tip over, and its also small enough to fit in anyone's bathroom. When I say small its small, about 4 inches off the ground, and about 8x9 inches! The size has also proven to be very useful while stowed away in the trunk of my Jeep Liberty, we just pull over and let him go (with a plastic bag lining the potty of course!) Along with its small size, and one-piece design, the potty is incredibly easy to clean. I can just rinse it off in the sink/tub, and wipe it off. I would also recomend spraying it with Lysol or something, atleast on occasions.

The potty's also come in variety of colors including... red, ocean, white, sunflower yellow, black, and pink. We happen to own two, my eldest son has a blue one, where we just purchased a red one for my other son (who is completely clueless as of what to make of this thing!) They are also fairly cheap, at around $9 a piece, another surprise from the usually $$$ Baby Bjorn.

As for performance, the Little Potty works for us. The catch pot is tiny, around the size of a large grapefruit, yet my son has never overflowed it, whether that be with urine, or feces. My son started "training" at around 16 months old, and can now dump the contents into the toilet as well, although there have been a few messes on occasions (due to spilling, not due to the potty's design). We also found that if you add "grippers" to the bottom of the potty, it works better. Before the "grippers" the potty could slide across the tiled floor, making a horrific screeching sound as it went... but not any more!

I totally recommend trying it out in the store before your purchase. If that's not possible, have your child sit on it as soon as you get home. I say this because I am positive that there will be negative reviews because the potty is just too small, but if its too small when you purchase it, return it and try another... My friends 98th percentile 3 year old couldn't fit on this potty, and although there was disappointment, she bought him the other baby bjorn stand alone potty (with two parts) and he fits better on that one.

I purchased a potty seat for the toilet, which my son is getting accustomed to now that he's older, but I certainly plan to use the Baby Bjorn Little potty for my next son, who may even become trained earlier! And they will defiantly be around for at least another 2 years, what a great potty!

Review of BABYBJÖRN Potty Chair

We are currently training our 2nd child.With our first, we had 3 in diapers, giving us MAJOR motivation to get him potty trained, so we tried almost every seat out there.Most of them were okay, but just got nasty quckly, were hard to disinfect, or were uncomfortable for my son.The ones with the removable splash gaurd are not gentle and can scrape a child's sensitive parts.Those were awful.We were "potty training" for a full year before we finally saw the BabyBjorn potty chair in a local botique, and DS immediately sat in it.He chose blue, and we took it home.Within a week, he was trained, and began using the "big boy seat", so we saved the seat for our daughter.It was incredable!Now our 23 month old daughter is training.We bought her this white babybjorn seat for our downstairs bathroom, with the blue upstairs.She has been "training" for 6 days now, and is almost completely day trained!

This seat is by far the best in our experiences.Here's why:1. the seat has a higher back and sides, which gives the child support while sitting down, standing up, or simply sitting there.2. It is NOT easy to tip! several of the others we tried tipped without much effort when our child was putting pressure on the sides trying to sit down or stand.3. It is super easy to clean - there aren't a bunch of seams to gather gunk, it's easy to wipe down with a clorox wipe and be done.It's also super easy to take the little bucket out, and soak in clorox or hose down.4. Kids can choose what color they want!This was such a big deal to my children --- also, they are solid colors that can look nice with your bathroom.The surface is also nice that your child can decorate the back with cute stickers if wanted.5. It works for children of all different sizes!My son was 40" and 42lbs when potty training, and my daughter is 25lbs and a little shrimp, and this seat fit them both WONDERFULLY.

Overall, having tried MANY seats, this one was the absolute best for both our children, and I would highly reccomend it to anyone in need of a seat for potty training success~!
