Potty Training Questions: Possible to Wait to Long to Start?

Hi all. My daughter will be 2 in a few months. Over the past few months she has shown different behaviors that indicate possible potty training. (Grandma says she is ready.) I know starting to early can make things worse so I have been procrastinating on it. But, her recent behavior is telling me when she has to pee pee.

Does harm come in if...

Difficulty with Potty Training

My son is turning "3" in four days. However, he has no interest in potty training what-so-ever. It doesn't bother my husband and I (other than the high cost of pull ups); however, it bothers his day care center. He goes to day care Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and is with my mother on Thursday and Friday. He is supposed to moving into the "3's room", however since he is not potty trained, he can't go. We've tried all the tricks to no avail. Did anyone have any luck doing something off the wall?? I would appreciate your help. Thank you.

What Type of "Potty" to Get?

My daughter is almost 17 months, and has started telling us when she's gone poo poo. of course, I don't think she's ready for potty training just yet, we were planning to get her a potty for Christmas to start talking about it. Just wondering if any moms could let me know their opinions about the stand alone potty that has to be emptied vs. the kid size seat that fits onto the big toilet. Even better, if you tried both, which one worked best for you. My husband and I are leaning towards the seat that fits onto the toilet, because we are...
