I went to Babies R Us recently to look at some potties that they have. They had so many that I left without getting one b/c I had no clue which one to get. Plus, the seats are so HARD!! They’re all made of plastic (I’m guessing for hygiene purposes). Should I get the soft seat that comes separately or is it a waste of $$? And which one did you use for your little ones? Ariella is only 10 1/2 months but she does the funniest thing. When she strains to go, she squats and strains 
so I figured I’d give it a try since she’s squatting already anyway. She may think it’s a game at first but I hope she’ll get it eventually. Thank you for your replies.
