Potty Training - where to start?

[millerpjm]

I will confess, I have not bought Toddler Bargains yet - still adjusting to the fact that I have a toddler instead of a baby (even though he started walking at 9 months!)

Anyway, DS is now 23 months, and I don't even know where to start...I am not sure what signs to look for, potty seat to buy, anything. Does Toddler Bargains have info on books for parents, books for kids, potty seat recommendations, etc? Can anyone here help me out with a good place to start as far as a book for me to read? Any advice is appreciated...thanks.

Toddler Bargains does have all of this stuff in there.

For books, I recommend the Parents Book of Toilet Teaching (as in Parents Magazine):

There is a wide variety of ones for kids. I liked this one best:

and this one is good too:

As for potty seats, it depends on what you're looking for. There are quite a few threads here on that.

HTH!
