potty chair

One type of potty chair, placed directly over the toilet, is called a "toilet training seat" and allows ejected fecal material from a young child to drop directly into the toilet bowl, therefore eliminating manual removal and disposal of the said waste from a receptacle beneath the hole, which is often a bag or receptacle similar to a chamber pot. Potty chairs are typically used during the potty training, also known as toilet training, of toddlers. • Illustration — A young child sits on a potty chair. • Illustration — Ancient Greek potty chair. Usage of potty chairs greatly varies across cultures. Potty chairs have been used to toilet train toddlers as far back as sixth-century ancient Greece; a clay potty chair from that time period was once discovered in the Ancient Agora of Athens, and potty chair images can be seen in red figure pottery iconography.
