Toilet training seats can be game-changers when it comes to encouraging your toddlers confidence in learning to use the toilet themselves.
Potty training is a milestone in both parent and child's life. And we're here to help make that as smooth as possible. So, your little on has graduated from the best potties - great news! The next stop is the 'big toilet'. Our Family Editor, Stephanie Lowe says: "Choosing the right toilet training seat is crucial to keeping your child's confidence high during this phase. Learning to use the toilet themselves is a huge win for your little one, so setting them up to succeed is half the battle. Plus, these toilet training seats are all wipe down and made of plastic, great for hand-me-downs or passing on to a fellow parent in need."
We've curated some of the best toilet training seats around so you can choose the best one to suit your child and your bathroom. From bright and colourful ones to encourage them to sit, subtle and removable ones to keep your bathroom looking pristine. Take your pick...
