I was going to say 10 months is too early, but some kids are ready earlier than others.
There are some potty chairs that applaud or make some kind of ruckus when they are done going potty. You may look into those.
Although your LO shows signs he may be ready, watch for his cues of distress. If he gets agitated, cries or fights you at the potty, you need to stop and reassess his readiness. If you force him when he's not ready you can actually cause regression in that area. Most babies start becoming ready at about 1.5 years; some sooner, some later. This is because cognitive development matures and they begin to understand the relation between the urge to go and where to release that urge.
Don't get discouraged if he is not ready, he may simply hate being wet and is letting you know his uncomfortable nature in the diaper and may not be ready for the potty.
How long can he go with a dry diaper? Boys in general take longer to be ready than girls. Also if you try to push it before they're ready they can regress and stay in diapers longer. Maybe keep him in a onesie with snaps or pants, that way he can't pull it off. I personally think 10 months is way to soon. My daughter is 11 months and her diaper is definitely not dry long enough. Good luck.
Oh and to answer your question about the chair, I used one that goes over the regular toilet. I recommend those, that way you don't have to train twice.
Actually you can do potty training from birth. Its called elimination communication. A midwife friend of mine would put a potty chair under her baby when he nursed and then he would poop or pee and she would say good job you peed! or something along those lines. He would wake up to poop/pee/nurse at night..its really cool! Her kids were potty trained by 1
