It's all Thomas, all the time in our house and has been since he was about 18 months old. I can't tell you how many Thomas-themed trains, accessories, books, DVDs, clothing, bath toys, etc. we have in our house. It is ridiculous! But he loves it all.

Fisher-Price Royal Potty Step StoolFisher-Price Royal Potty Step Stool
Buy new: $22.99
This was the second potty chair we tried. I like that it has a lid and a tall enough splash guard for little boys. The music isn't all that reliable, but it hasn't been an issue yet.
