Regarding potty chairs, which statement is accurate?

• A. Potty chairs count as toilets for licensing purposes
• B. Potty chairs are not considered toilets
• C. Potty chairs are prohibited in all facilities
• D. Potty chairs must be replaced with full toilets

Answer: (B)

Potty chairs are not considered toilets for licensing purposes. A toilet is a fixed, flushing fixture connected to the building’s plumbing, while a potty chair is a portable seating aid used during toilet training. Because licensing looks at actual toilets, not training seats, potty chairs don’t count toward the required number of toilets. This doesn’t mean they’re forbidden or must replace real toilets; they can be used alongside toilets as part of toilet training, but they don’t meet the definition of a toilet.
