Lynflower,
Dunno lei. I got the basic one for Kell from Mothercare. I am planning to get her on potty for the first two to three months then will get that mini cushion seat that would hook onto our adult seat for her when she is more confident.

1. To start with, dont think of a potty as a potty but as a toy, a toy seat for instance.
2. Let your baby play with the potty putting things in, taking things out, using it as a hat and etc.
3. Very gradually, you can start putting your child on a potty for a few moments.

For 15 months old
1. Always take your lead from your baby. Ask your child occasionally if he wants to go to the toilet. The answer no is pretty reliable.
2. Your baby wont be able to retain his urine for very long once hes attracted your attention, so just dismiss accidents cheerfully.
Stephanie,
Kelly would be able stroke her belly AFTER she has poo-ed and point to her diaper if it is very wet. So, not enough time to catch her poo or pee.
