The present invention is a potty training device comprised of a housing having a pivotal seat positioned over a cavity for receiving the waste material that is discarded by slidably removing the receptacle that forms the base of the bowl-like cavity. Inside the housing are electronic components for recording and playing a musical tune and/or audio clips. Positioned under the seat is a pressure switch that is designed to react to weight placed thereon. When the pressure switch is engaged a musical tune of prerecorded audio sequence is played for a predetermined period of time or continuously cycled until the switch is opened by the child getting off the seat. An alternate audio clip of a typical flushing toilet is activated by a handle switch within reach of the toddler or child. Additionally incorporated into the potty training device is an audio recording component whereby the user can selectively record another tune or audio clip to be played when the pressure switch is engaged.

Objects of the present invention:
