RE: How do you transition from potty chair to adult toilet?
The potty seat we had had a removable insert that went on the big toilet. After she had mastered the basics of potty training, I really started talking up how BIG girls use the BIG potty like mommies and daddies. Pretty soon she wanted to give it a try. After a couple months with the insert, she was asking to use the big potty with no insert.
So I basically followed her lead, but I also definitely encouraged it!
And Ikea has some nice stepstools that are very cheap in the bath section.
