Comments on: The Froggie Potty…really http://stephanieoppenheim.com/2009/03/the-froggie-pottyreally/ Thoughts on Toys from the Co-Founder of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:58:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: toyportfolio http://stephanieoppenheim.com/2009/03/the-froggie-pottyreally/comment-page-1/#comment-556 toyportfolio Mon, 30 Mar 2009 13:39:53 +0000 http://toyportfolio.wordpress.com/?p=527#comment-556 I’m impressed that your 17 month old son is interested in potty training! That’s pretty impressive all by itself. I can see his point about the eyes. Most potty seats seem better designed for girls- the front guard piece just never seems to work well enough-making things uncomfortable for them and messy for you. We eventually moved on to seats that go on the toilet but I wouldn’t that at such an early age.

I really liked the price, the simplicity, and the adorable design. My only complaint is the enormous eyes that cause my son to awkwardly position himself onto the potty. The eyes also prevent him from moving his legs into any position other than spread eagle. It seems a little uncomfortable for such a little guy.

I wondered if they really did any good or if it was going to be one of those “fun idea but shouldn’t have bought” items.

Nice to know someone had some success with them!

We did well with the floating targets- made a game out of the whole process.

We bought him a potty that had a little attachment that hooked on the front to keep the little boys from peeing all over, but unfortunately it comes unattached easily and my son always wants to play with it.

I like this one because there are no extra parts really and it does work for boys!

Jordyn took her friend’s talking princess potty into their living room a few weeks ago :)
