Potty training is difficult before the age of about 2 and half because of muscle development. Most people who potty train before about 2 and a half are actually doing what is called potty timing. My biggest problem with training before 2 and a half is that a lot of time there are so many accidents that the child doesn't feel as successful as they should - I say let her run around with the potty if she wants let her go on the potty if she wants - but I would not take her out of diapers or even try to train her before she starts taking the diaper off and heading towards the potty - that is when they are ready.
