Toilet Training Guide
Here
are a few of our favorite finds to help move your toddler from diapers
to big-kid pants in no time.

| Ladies:
Do
you have a little one who's showing interest in ditching his or
her diapers for "big boy" or "big girl" underwear
or wants to sit on the toilet just like Mommy and Daddy? Seize this
opportunity and introduce your child to the exciting world of potty
training. For some kids, success can happen overnight, but others
can take weeks or even months. Don't worry--with the right attitude
and the right products, your child will grow out of diapers. Just
find out what works for you and your child, remember to stay positive
and be consistent!
And,
moms, if you've found another potty training product that worked
for your kid, share it with other moms in our Message
Boards.
Good
luck!

Boon
Potty Bench |
Best
Multitasking Potty: Boon Potty Bench
(ARV $30)
It's
a potty. It's a bench. It's a step stool. It's all three! A soft,
flexible deflector makes it perfect for little boys, and an innovative
pull-out drawer makes cleanup a cinch. Two side compartments let
you store toilet paper, flushable wipes and small books, and when
your child is done, simply close the lid and it transforms into
a handy bench or step stool.

Baby
Bjorn Potty |
Best
No-Frills Potty: Baby Bjorn Potty
(ARV $24)
Don't let all the bells and whistles fool you. Your child doesn't
need a potty that looks like a toy or plays music. One of our readers
said it best by saying that "they only served to distract from
the main purpose." Solution? Try this no-nonsense Baby Bjorn
Potty Seat. "No distractions, easy to use and easy to clean,"
and it's available in red, blue, green, yellow or white.

Bjorn Toilet Trainer |
Best
Toilet Seat Cover: Baby Bjorn Toilet Trainer
(ARV $30)
When
it's time for your child to move on to Mommy and Daddy's toilet,
try this toilet trainer. It adjusts to fit snugly on top of any
toilet, and a handle makes it easy for children to place it and
remove it. A rubber edge around the entire seat keeps it securely
in place, so your child can relax. No need to worry about slipping
and sliding.

Baby
Bjorn Safe Step |
Best
Step Stool: Baby Bjorn Safe Step
(ARV $16)
It
may look like we're working for Baby Bjorn, but we're not. It's
just that their potty training products are simply fantastic. This
lightweight step stool has rubber feet that grip the ground, and
it has rubber matting on top, so little feet stay put, too. Your
child can use it to reach the toilet, the sink and anything else
that's out of reach.

 |
Gerber Cloth Training Underwear |
Best
Potty Training Pants: Gerber Cloth Training Underwear
(ARV $9 for Pack of Three)
When
your child is transitioning from diapers to "big kid"
underwear and you conveniently run out of diapers, try these reusable
cotton training pants. They're absorbent but still let your child
now when he's wet, and they're comfortable and machine washable.
When your child is ready, ditch these tightie whities and bring
out the fun underwear. There should be no shortage of Dora, Elmo,
Nemo, SpongeBob or Thomas.

Everyone
Poops by Taro Gomi |
Best
Potty Training Book: Everyone Poops by Taro Gomi
(ARV $7)
If
you're looking for a step-by-step guide to potty training, this
isn't the book, but if you want a lighthearted book that teaches
children how normal it is to "poop" (animals do it and
so do people), then this book is right up your alley. Colorful images
make it fun to read, and each time you open it you'll be reminded
to have a sense of humor when it comes to potty training.
