"I liked the video except that when the little boy who was potty training had a make believe journey into the jungle on a safari (on his toilet) there were horrible mean looking animals (i.e. crocodile staring into the camera snarling & snapping) that made my daughter burst out into tears and ran out of the room sobbing. Not the best thing to happen when I am trying to make potty training fun. She won't go near the potty again. If you have a boy who likes wild animals it would probably be okay ..... but for younger kids it can be scary....! ;-("

Expensive, short, mildly bizzare

"Although friends had reccommended "Potty Power," I bought "I Can Go Potty" on a whim when I was running another errand at Borders (sorry Amazon), and could not find Potty Power. I was not impressed by this DVD, and would not recommend it. I would have given it one star, except my daughter kind of liked it.

The main part of the DVD is really short. It contains a couple of wierd musical video montages, and the "potty safari" mentioned by the previous reviewer. so the actual meat of the DVD is probably 5 minutes long. One of the "extra's" called "Parent's Guide" was actually video previews. $15 for 15 minutes, two low budget musical montages, a strange off-topic safari fantasy, and video previews? I'm still kicking myself for not just ordering online and waiting a few days for Potty Power."

Worked like a charm! And Fast!

"I am so excited I can barely type this review! My 3 year old son was anti-potty training and said "NO" every time I brought it up. I read somewhere not to push the issue, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to buy a DVD about it and maybe he would become more interested. I ordered this DVD and just played it this evening. He just stared at the TV for 5 minutes straight without turning away then he literally brought the potty into the living room, sat down and went for the first time! Then he kept asking to play the song part of it again & again while he was playing with his cars. About an hour later he jumps up, runs over to the potty, sat down and went again! I didn't even have to bring it up! I am just stunned at the moment and had to recommend this video immediately. Just amazing and worth every penny!"

Please do not buy this DVD

"I bought "Potty Power" and it keeps a 22 month old interested but I wasn't totally happy with everything about that DVD. As such, I bought "I Can Go Potty!...". It does not keep this child interested at all. A child does the talking/explaining which is great. It shows a boy playing with the potty chair with a plush toy and just playing with it in a non-potty way. This may be what happens in real life but no child needs to be shown to do that.
Much of the story is of the boy sitting on the chair while day dreaming about going to outter space, under the sea and in the jungle. Do children who are potty training age know about these places even? The alligator is scary, that is so helpful. I sent this back, and I hate to do things like that."
