The Fisher-Price My Potty Friend add variety and fun to the potty training process and because it looks similiar to a real toilet, it encourages kids to make the transition to the grown up 'potty'. It plays encouraging phrases, 2 full songs and makes sounds to encourage the child. A wetness sensor ensures there's a sound reward upon each success. Requires 3 x AA batteries (not included). It makes a fun clicking sound when you push down the pretend 'flusher' and there's a toilet paper holder, too. With songs to learn and encouraging phrases and sounds to discover, the My Potty Friend really does make potty training fun. The handles help toddlers feel secure and it can be used on a regular toilet seat, complete with songs and sounds. Not recommended for use on padded toilet seats, however, as this can create marks. My Potty Friend has a lid that opens and closes, the bowl removes for easy clean up, there's a flip-down deflector shield included and the toilet paper holder slides in and out. Suitable for 18 months upwards.
