Definition: A potty training seat is a toddler-size toilet seat that fits inside the regular toilet seat. It's purpose is to help a toddler feel more secure while sitting on an adult-size toilet. When the toddler doesn't have to focus on holding on tight to keep from falling in that big hole in the center, it's often easier to concentrate on the task at hand - learning to use the potty. Some potty training seats are just a ring that sits on top of the regular toilet seat, while others have some sort of adjustment mechanism to provide a custom fit to various toilet seat sizes. Some potty training seats also have handles or wide sides to provide additional stability for toddlers.
