The sooner you start, the better. There is nothing wrong with sitting your baby on a potty from a real early age. He will get used to it. In the UK, where I am from, it is not unusual for children to be clean and dry at aged 1 year. My own daughter was. I trained her to sit on the pot from before she could even support herself. When she was older and using the toilet, I would lift her out at night before I went to bed and whisper to her " wee wee for mommy" and she would. If I say that to her now (at age 19) she tells me to STOP!! because it is subliminal and she will never forget it. My 6 month old grandson uses his potty for dumps and automatical pees as well. So, my advice is start as early as a few months.

From the United States, their is no proper age to train a child. Depends on them. It takes time and patience is the key to potty train kids. Some are quick to adapt and some will take longer.

I'm in the US. I've got three kids who are in their teens now and when they were young, I gave them all undies and potty chairs when they turned two years old. My 2 boys weren't using the potty regulary until they were about three, though they did make an effort. My older daughter was out of diapers durin the day by a month after her second birthday. I didn't push any of them.
I plan on getting undies and a potty chair for our daughter when she gets to be about two. We won't push her, but want to have everything she's going to need for as soon as she shows interest.
I think two is about right to introdue the idea, but not to try to push a child into it.

U.S. - whenever the child shows signs of readiness, but generally this does not occur before 18-24 months of age.
I tried at age 2 with my first baby and it took over six months for her to stop having accidents. With my next two I didn't start until their 3rd birthdays and it took less than a week.

USA - It really depends on whether you want to train THEM or train YOU.
You can start when they are 2 , but it is going to drag out over months or a year at least.
If you can wait until they are 3 their bodies and minds will be more mature and the process shouldn't take more than a few weeks.

I would start the middle of the second year. Kids when they are really young they can't hold their bladders. Your child could learn earlier or later. U.S.
