We're going to start potty training but I can't decide between a small potty or an adapter that goes on the toilet — which should I buy?

In potty training, both a small potty and a toilet seat adapter have their advantages. General pediatric opinion is that a small potty is usually more practical for starting — the child's feet rest on the ground, they can sit and get up on their own, and there's no fear of height. An adapter is better for older children or a second stage; it makes sharing the toilet easier but requires a step stool if the child's feet don't touch the ground.
The most common and problem-free start: a small, stable, footed potty. The child sees it as their own space and adopts it, it's easy to carry. You can think about switching to an adapter once potty habits are established.
