8 of the best toilet training seats for toddlers
So, you've got them on the pot but it's time to move to the big toilet. We round up what to look for in toilet training seats and our best buys
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...

The small seat can be removed easily when training is done. My son loves it, he has his own "big boy" seat. I recommend this to anyone that is toilet training.”

Lightweight and fun, fits most standard UK toilets. And has a cute step stool available to match too. One buyer said: “This is a great toilet seat. It stays put on the toilet and doesn't slip off like other seats do. The side handles keep our toddlers stable and comfortable while sat on it. Our kids like the fun penguin design too! Definitely worth the money. We're getting a second one for upstairs.
