Yep, I'd buy her a potty that she can use on her own.  Neither my ds
or dd1 cared for a little potty, but liked sitting on the big toilet.
It sounds like you'd have some success with the potty chair.

Hey Lina!!

My kids both hated the little potty, but LOVED the ring that went on the seat
of the big one. They have some cute ones with Elmo and other characters.

Sounds like she is ready to start training. Remember, you're not required
to push anything if she is not, just give it a try and see where it goes.
Some kids are ready early, some late, it's all part of normal. Buy her a
potty and explain to her next time you see her pull off her diaper that
that is where you want her to pee in, i.e. once she takes off the diaper
and tries to pee on the car, gently put her down on her potty.

It's a pain, since you will have to watch her 24/7 in that case, but once
she gets the idea, it should be easy going. Good luck!
