10 Best Potties 2024 | UK Paediatrician Reviewed

The BabyBjörn Potty Chair is basically a toilet-time throne. Its armchair-style design has been much imitated, and it's easy to see why - the backrest and armrests make it comfortable for bigger kids, while the curved shape is sturdy and visually appealing. 

Best of all, the removable tray is highly convenient when it comes to cleaning up after your little one, and rubber feet mean no sliding around. The subdued colour scheme will suit most bathrooms too.

It's not much fun emptying waste from a potty, particularly if it doesn't have a removable insert. One father-of-2 became so frustrated by the messy process that he designed this magnificent product: the Pourty! Featuring a handle at the front and a spout at the back, this award-winning design makes toilet time so much easier for parents.

All the yucky stuff goes out the back of the potty, rather than the front where children tend to place their hands, so we give this product top marks for hygiene. Anything that makes emptying a potty easier gets our seal of approval! 

At first glance, it's not even obvious that this is a potty - so it's sure to attract your little one's interest! "My Carry Potty" comes in 10 colourful designs, but our favourite is this charming ladybird one. It's so much fun to have around that we're certain your child will want to carry this potty themselves and will have no qualms using it.

Not only does this product look like a travel bag, but it folds up like one too - simply unclip and unfold when needed. Even better, the seal is completely leak-proof, meaning you can pack it up after use and dispose of the contents at a later time - extremely convenient when your child is caught short!

The most striking feature of this potty is its huge size. It's not portable, but this potty isn't meant for travel - it's designed to make toilet time as comfortable as possible for your toddler. This is something the Strata Deluxe easily achieves thanks to its elevated seat and high backrest.

This product is also a joy for parents, you'll be pleased to hear! The removable tray with splash guard means mess is minimised, and emptying contents is simple, while the rubber feet prevent it from sliding across the bathroom floor. It's a real star in our eyes!

The Potette Plus is one of the UK's best selling travel potties, and with good reason. It's foldable, making it extremely compact - it's small enough to fit in the bottom of a pushchair or even in a changing bag. 

This product can be used anywhere as a standalone travel potty; you simply need to attach one of the biodegradable disposable bags. Or, if you're at home, it can be used as a trainer seat by clipping it onto the toilet. You'll need to factor in the price of the bags, but as far as portability is concerned, the Potette Plus is pretty fantastic!

This is, quite literally, the all-singing, all-dancing potty! Okay, maybe it doesn't dance, but it will sing a little ditty and make flushing noises after every successful toilet trip. It also looks just like a grown-up toilet, complete with an extendable toilet roll holder. 

While this potty is large and expensive, we love that it can be turned into a seat and snapped onto a regular toilet, making the transition much easier when the time comes. When you consider how happy your child will be to use this magical potty, we think the price is worth it too!

The appeal of Fisher Price's potty is immediately apparent - if only grown-up toilets looked this fun! You can choose from several cute animal designs, including a penguin, a duck, and a unicorn, which all have the same features.

This potty is practical too - the seat is nice and high, meaning it's perfect for children with longer legs. Plus, the removable tray makes the disposal process a breeze. It's a little pricey, but we'd say it's worth splashing out on!

Sometimes it's their favourite character, more than any fancy features, that'll best persuade your child to sit on their potty. It's difficult to find a toddler who doesn't like Peppa Pig, so this product is a safe bet!

It's not just the aesthetic design that'll appeal to little ones, though, the high backrest and footrests at the front mean your little one will feel comfy while they sit. We only wish it had a few extra features for the price!

Boots' Baby Potty might look pretty average, but it's highly rated among parents. It's a solid choice that's robust enough to endure a fair few knocks and bashes. This isn't the most exciting product on our list, but it's a good budget option.

A couple of features also give it an extra edge: the high backrest makes it comfortable for your child to sit in for extended periods, while the small "feet" will encourage them to sit up properly. 

Simple and affordable, the IKEA Lilla is a no-frills potty that works great as a spare for keeping at grandparents' houses or as a cheap method of trying out potty training before you splurge on a fancier alternative.

Those who prefer subtle shades will be disappointed to learn that the Lilla only comes in one colour - lime green! It also lacks extra features like padding or a removable insert. Still, this is a sturdy, reasonably priced potty that'll do the job adequately.
