Augh, the days of potty training. I have to admit I can't wait to put them in the past. With one trained and the other yet to show any interest, I guess I should be content that I only have one in diapers. So I was really interested in taking a closer look at The Little Looster, a booster seat for toddlers who use the loo. Designed by a mom, The Little Looster is a specialty stool that was made specifically to wrap around the base of your toilet to provide kids with extra support and comfort. I saw the product online and was happy to agree to review it when approached by a company representative.
My Looster arrived in the mail and upon opening; I was instantly surprised by the size. For some reason I thought it would be smaller. I decided to try it out in my daughter's bathroom -- partly to avoid the wrath of my husband who hates to come home from work and see new things have miraculously appeared in our home while he was away. <<Giggle, giggle.>>
I guess I should tell you that our second bathroom is relatively small. It's a full bath but on the smaller size. We typically used a small step stool that I purchased at Target and which doubles as the potty and sink stool for my oldest daughter. So I was a little worried that The Little Looster wouldn't fit in the bathroom. Well, guess what? It fits! And there's plenty of room for the original pink wooden stool to remain at the sink -- which is a nice added convenience.
My three year old was interested in trying out The Little Looster. In fact she didn't need any coaxing at all. She climbed on up and took a seat on the thrown. The perfect height for my daughter, The Little Looster was an instant hit and remains a staple in our home. Unlike with the traditional stool, my daughter can now lift the toilet lid herself and flush -- all while standing on the Looster. If you're looking for an alternative to the traditional stool, check this product out. Retailing for $34.99, The Little Looster can be purchased on line at http://www.littlelooster.com/cart.
Editor's note: Had to use stock photography for this article as my three year would be quite upset 10 years from now if there was a photo of her sitting on the thrown! Happy potty training.
