Juggling two at potty time

Challenge: what do you do with the 7-month-old while the toddler is demanding full attention for a potty attempt? You need two hands to pull down said toddlers pants, perhaps pick him up and put him on the big potty, etc.  But where can you put the baby down that's clean and safe?

Answer: the dry baby bathtub.  We have one of those Primo brand ones that is stored in the big tub.  I plop the baby down in the baby bathtub, give him a toy to amuse him so I can then turn my full attention to the toddler's potty needs.
