Summer Infant Story Time Potty ~ Review & Giveaway

Potty training is a milestone every parents goes through with their children, and it's not always an easy one! That's why it's important to find the right tools that make the process go more smoothly.  Thankfully, potty training both Kaelyn and Kaden went very well. They caught on quickly, but I always have wished that there was a more fun way to get them interested in the potty to begin with. That's why I was excited to learn about the new Story Time Potty from Summer Infant!

With the mission of making this 'the best time of your life' and putting their heart and soul into everything they design, Summer Infant is dedicated to bringing parents a large selection of products that are both safe and sensible for little ones. Between their high quality baby products and excellent customer service, they have become a name parents know and trust.

We have owned several products from Summer Infant over the years and I'm a huge fan of their high quality, innovative products for little ones. They are always coming out with gear that both parents and their children will love and appreciate. One of the newer ones, being the Story Time Potty.

We were sent the Story Time Potty from Summer Infant to review.

When the potty arrived, both Kaelyn and Kaden were begging to try it out just from looking at it on the box. The fact that it was so intriguing before I even took it out of the box was definitely a plus. One important things about potty training (besides having the child ready) is that they are excited and want to do it! Based on the reaction from my kids, the colorful and fun design of this frog potty was very appealing. 

Pulling it out of the box, I was happy to see that there was little assembly.... especially since I had two very eager kids wanting to test it out! In no time I had the potty put together and ready to use. The interactive story panel slides into place, and the frog eyes and mouth stick on. 

One thing that impressed me right away was the quality. This seems to be very sturdy and well made...something that will hold up to a lot of use (which is great for families with more than one child!). I also LOVE the fact the pot is easy to remove. So many potties that I've seen require you to take off the top to get to the dish. This one simply lifts out for easy dumping and cleaning. I love that!! Even Kaden has enjoyed helping out which is nice.

Of course, other than the adorable frog design...the two things that caught my kids' attention right away were the book and interactive story panel. This is one of the most unique features on a potty I've ever seen, not to mention the neatest. What a fantastic idea and a great way to engage children while training. My kids LOVE it!

As they sit on the potty, they grab the story and push the button on the panel which reads the story to them.  This would have been a great training tool while training them, and will definitely come in handy once we start training Caysen. There are so many times we've grabbed books while potty training, but having the recorded short story that they can listen to makes it even better!

And, even though both Kaelyn and Kaden are already potty trained, they sure enjoy using the potty more now that they have this fun Story Time Potty to use. Kaden is especially difficult to get to go to the potty when he's playing or busy. There are times he waits too long and has accidents, but not anymore! He loves the Story Time Potty so much that he is sure to stop whatever he's doing to use it. As a boy, we always make sure that whatever potty he's using has a high front so he goes in the potty and not out. Thankfully, this one seems to be high enough for him, as we've had very few instances where he didn't make it in. YAY!

Aside from being a great potty chair, it is also made to grow with your children (recommended for children 18 months - 5 years old). The top and base easily come apart so that the top can be used on an adult potty. This has been especially nice for Kaelyn as she's bigger and prefers the big potty. What's neat is, the book and interactive story panel come with the top so she can still enjoy that neat feature of the potty. 

The base then can be used as a step stool, both for getting on the potty as well as at the sink to wash their hands. 

Overall I've been thrilled with the Story Time Potty from Summer Infant! It's great quality as well as fun and engaging for the kids. It would definitely be great for potty training and something I would recommend to other parents with little ones.
