Guide Review - "No More Diapers" Potty Training Video

Potty training DVDs can help many toddler get the hang of using the toilet, thanks to cartoon characters that appeal to toddlers' silly sides and a relaxed but encouraging approach to the whole potty training process. Upbeat and exciting, "No More Diapers" can help your toddler learn potty training concepts or desire to wear underwear, which is a big step in the right direction.

The main character in "No More Diapers," a small bear, begins the video praising his diaper, as many toddlers do. Toddlers can then follow the little bear as he bounces and sings his way through potty training, with silly songs like "Wonderous Underous Pants" and "Underwear is Great." The music in this DVD is pretty funny. Toddlers will like singing along with the creative tunes. You may even enjoy singing them, too, though it may be a tiny bit embarrassing to sing "Wonderous Underous Pants" at the grocery store.

The bright, basic animation holds toddlers' attention well. A packet of potty training reward stickers are included with the DVD, and a potty training chart, coloring book and graduation diploma can be downloaded for free from the company's website when it's time to celebrate your toddler's potty training success.

No More Diapers certainly won't hurt your toddler's chances of potty training faster. If your little one is attached to diapers for some reason, he or she may identify well with the little bear in the DVD. As with any potty training DVD, though, there's always the possibility that your toddler might be the one who just isn't encouraged by DVDs.
