Best Potty Training Accessories
The best potty training accessories meet two important criteria: 1. they give parents easy, hands-on tools to make the potty training process understandable to young children; and 2. they help parents create a fun, positive atmosphere for potty learning. All children learn to say good bye to diapers – eventually. But most children take 4-6 months to achieve potty independence. The best potty training accessories help parents and children enjoy this potty learning period as an exciting time of growth and discovery.
It’s true that a child who is developmentally ready for potty training will be more successful than a child who doesn’t have the bladder control or a child who is in an oppositional stage (the no-my way stage). The best products support your child’s development instead of being intrusive or overwhelming to your child.
Baby Bjorn Potty Chair (Large Size)
The Bjorn Potty Chair is a child-friendly place to build your child’s potty confidence. The simple design invites your child to focus on his body and his newly emerging skills without being distracted by built-in noises, toys, or superficial bells and whistles. Your child will eventually make the transition to the grown-up toilet. In the meantime, build the rest of your child’s potty routine around the “real” toilet – using toilet paper from the bathroom roller and flushing the bathroom toilet instead of a pretend potty with features that substitute for the real thing.
