Children's convertible toilet apparatus

An apparatus that is convertible from a free-standing potty chair to a toilet trainer that cooperates with a conventional toilet comprising:

• a toilet seat member;
• a first leg member;
• and
• a second leg member, said toilet seat member and said first and second leg members being pivotally interconnected for positioning in a first position wherein said first and second leg members contact a first floor surface to cooperatively support said toilet seat member above said first floor surface, and said toilet seat member and first and second leg members being pivotally interconnected for positioning in a second position wherein said toilet seat member is supportable by a conventional toilet and said second leg member contacts a second floor surface and said first leg member further comprises a horizontal step member, and wherein, in said second position, said horizontal step member is vertically located at an intermediate height between said second floor surface and said toilet seat member.

An apparatus that is convertible from a free-standing potty chair to a toilet trainer that cooperates with a conventional toilet having a conventional toilet seat comprising:

• a toilet seat member;
• a first leg member;
• and
• a second leg member having a longitudinal axis and a foot member, said toilet seat member and said first and second leg members being pivotally interconnected for positioning in a first position wherein said first and second leg members contact a first floor surface to cooperatively support said toilet seat member above said first floor surface, and said toilet seat member and first and second leg members being pivotally interconnected for positioning in a second position wherein said toilet seat member is supportable by a conventional toilet and said foot member of said second leg member contacts a second floor surface, further comprising adjustment means for automatically adjusting the height of said toilet seat member relative to said second floor surface wherein, when said foot member is not operatively contacting said second floor surface, said second leg member is freely movable in a direction substantially along said longitudinal axis of said second leg member towards said second floor surface when said foot member is engaged during use of the apparatus by a child and wherein, when said toilet seat member is not operatively contacting the conventional toilet seat, said toilet seat member is freely movable towards the conventional toilet seat when engaged during use of the apparatus by the child.
