Training your child to go to the bathroom on the toilet can be a challenging experience. While your child may show signs they are ready to potty train between 18-24 months some wait until their three. This can vary by them having a sibling, daycare experiences, or just a general interest in not wearing bulky diapers anymore.
Having a training potty on hand will ensure that you can jump in as soon as the opportunity presents itself.
Our 4 categories of training Potties are:
- The real deal
- The get-it-done
- The modifier
- The traveler
You may have a couple of these in your home to offer a different way they can go to see which one they prefer. Some convert so you can move the seat to the adult toilet as your child becomes more independent.
If you are in the market here are our favorites for each category.
