Musical models are most often made of heat-intensive plastic, because such material is very convenient in washing. Sometimes manufacturers add antiseptic substances to its composition. This is done to ensure that such an object is disinfected exclusively by running water, and not by additional detergents.

You must choose a simple and clear pot for your son. If the choice is on models with the image of animals, let it be cute stickers and prints. If the baby can not concentrate on the process of defecation, it is recommended to turn off all musical and light elements. In this case, the pot can be played just like that.Color, blinking, pleasant melody will surely interest your baby, not wanting to part with a diaper.

The most popular models for boys were pots in the form of cars with a steering wheel, animals, fairy-tale and animated characters, transforming robots. Manufacturers also create unique designs of such accessories, for example, in the form of a spacecraft, rockets, octopuses, boats and others. For the classical form, prints and patterns in the form of familiar cartoon characters are characteristic.

For little ladies, doctors advise to look at models of round shape and medium hardness. They can sit comfortably even with flattened legs. Be sure to pay attention when choosing a model for the following features:

• the main purpose of the pot, not being distracted by additional functions;
• quality of luminous and musical elements;
• the size of the pot hole (the optimal diameter is about 40 cm so that the rims do not stick into the legs);
• product stability;
• presence of footrests or rubber anti-slip lining.

The plastic pot is considered more acceptable both at the price, and on functionality, than enameled. In addition, musical models do not create enamel. As for high-quality plastic, it is easier to disinfect, rinse. And also they are much inferior in weight, which makes it easier to carry pots. When buying a transforming model, make sure that all its components are easily disassembled and cleaned. Baby pot should not become a breeding ground for bacteria and germs.

For children, it is important to choose a product that, with all its “features”, does not distract it from an important business. Many psychologists are of the opinion that it is not worthwhile to entertain children while they are being managed.

The first attempts to go to the pot can be demonstrated in a playful way, letting the child know that this is not scary and exciting. In the future it is better to turn off the signals and sounds, or turn them on less often. A musical pot for a girl can be presented in the form of a miniature castle, a cute dog or cat. The model itself looks like a “doll” and causes only pleasant emotions in the baby. Get products in the form of a cabriolet, a funny frog, an airplane, a penguin or a duck. The best manufacturers of such items are Babyhood, Maltex, Weina, Pilsan and others.

It is necessary to adhere to several recommendations from experts.

• Never insist on planting a child on the pot. This can frighten off a small crumb, and even a colorful musical toy accessory will not save the situation.
• Always position such a curious object as a pot with a toy. Explain, even at the age of one, why it is needed. As an example, put a doll or a teddy bear on the pot first, “introduce” your toddler to the accessory with a closer look.
• The choice is to stop on models with affordable cost and never chase the number of functions. At the age of two years, the child still does not understand why he needs an additional urinal or a back that simulates a flank. He will touch, listen and consider. And this is the most effective way to teach him to the toilet.
