Potty training is one of those inevitable things that we have to go through with each child. Some of us get lucky and have a child who learns quickly & easily. Most of us fall on the other end of the spectrum and can use all the potty training help we can get.
Joshua is 2 and a half and I recently started potty training with him. We have an old potty seat from Nathan and a pink potty from Emily, but I really wanted something different for Joshua as neither of them were all that great. And I wanted something that would work but not an expensive, distracting potty with noisy bells and whistles. Or a complicated one with pieces that fell apart and was hard to clean.
The folks at Munchkin had perfect timing and sent me their new Arm & Hammer 3-in-1 Potty Seat.
In addition to its deodorizing features, it does three things:
- It’s a regular, comfortable, sit-down potty seat
- It has a removable seat for use on regular “big” toilets
- It can also be used as a sturdy step stool
First, it meets my two top requirements: it’s sturdy and easy to clean. With it’s no-slip bottom and rugged top, it’s not going to tip over when the kids stand on it or push it around. The potty bowl can be easily removed, cleaned, and replaced. There’s no fancy pieces to put together; it’s so simple.
My favorite aspect of the Arm & Hammer 3-in-1 Potty Seat is the removable potty seat that can be used on the big toilet. I’ve started all my little ones on sit-down potties, but at some point, they need to use the big toilet. So what do I do? Buy two potties? One sit down and one seat for the toilet? Well not anymore with our Arm & Hammer 3-in-1 Potty Seat!
Then there’s the Arm & Hammer deodorizing features. The replaceable deodorizing disc fits easily into a little nook under the lid and works to absorb odors. I haven’t had much of a chance to try this out as Joshua hasn’t been too willing in that department yet, but once he is, I’m sure I’ll be glad it’s there.
The built-in flushable wipes, that are stored on the outside edge of the potty, make it easy to help teach your little ones about good hygeine. We couldn’t get our package of flushable wipes to fit into its side spot very well. I’m not sure if we had a smaller than usual package of wipes or what but it was a little disappointing. Aside from that, it’s a neat idea to have the wipes built in; it makes for one less thing sitting around the bathroom.
Overall I think this is great little potty training seat and if I had to buy one, this would definitely be my #1 choice. It has everything I want in a simple and practical way, plus a few extras.
I’m really glad to have our Munchkin 3-in-1 seat to help us along the way as Joshua is potty trained. Joshua loves his potty seat and I do too.

I have three children and my two oldest kids are potty trained. It wasn’t easy but we got through it. So now I’m in the process of potty training my daughter who is 3. She is scared of the potty so what I do is I sing songs to get her comfortable and just be supportive. Now I’m helping my brother potty train his son who is a year old so this is going to be something! Potty training a 1 and 3 year old is definitely a challenge! Whati love about the Arm and Hammer 3 in 1 Potty Seat is that it has a disposable deodorizing disk and flush able wipes! I wish my toilet had that!

I have two favorite things about this potty seat. First that you can deodorize it. That’s definitely innovative. I haven’t seen anything like that before. Second favorite feature is the fact that you can use the seat on the big potty. That is one of my requirements in buying a potty seat. I didn’t even know these existed!! If I don’t win this, I might have to find a way to buy it anyway!
Great review! Thank you.
Love that it works on big potty’s as well!

Thanks for a great review. I’m potty training my youngest now and in the market for another potty chair. I like that the seat on this one is removable and it has nice features.
The built-in flushable wipes is my favorite thing.

My tip..buy them big boy undies or big girl panties…great incentive.
My favorite feature of the Arm & Hammer 3 in 1 potty is that it grows with your child and you can remove the seat to fit on the toilet. The wipes being on the side I think is a good idea too.
My best tip for potty training boys or to at least get them interested is to play “sink the cheerios” throw a handful of Cheerios in the potty and aim fire. My son loved it. At first I would have to run to the kitchen to grab the cheerios while he threaded water. After the 4th trip in 6hrs from the kitchen to the bathroom I finally smartened up and took a bowl to leave in the bathroom. It was a breeze from there. We actually have two potty training here right now. One boy One girl and no potty seat so this would be fantastic~! My arms tend to get tired after all those false alarms~!!!

I love the deodorizing factor and the built in wipes, of course. But the thing I love the best is that it can be used for later on when my son needs to use a big boy potty because I don’t want to have to buy two potties either. HA!
My best tip is to be don’t worry if you have a tough time training your child. They will start doing it when they’re ready!

I bought the potty watch for my son! Its has an alarm that goes off at 30-90 minute intervals and really helped with potty training my son. He is a stubborn boy and got really irritated by me constantly reminding him to use the potty, so this watch was great, it plays music and everything!

What’s NOT too like about the 3 in 1 potty seat? But if I had to pick one thing it would be the flushable wipes attached
My best tip is don’t force them until they are ready. I took my daughter with me to the bathroom all the time and showed her what to do…she wasn’t really into it when I thought she was ready to try…about 4 months later boom she was all about it and it took about 2 days!
I like that it has a deodorizing feature and a place to store flushable wipes!
