Toilet or toilet seat cover - what to choose for a child

17-02-2021

Very young children require a lot of care. Many parents eagerly await the time when their child will start to become more independent. This is no different when it comes to toilet training, as our little ones will eventually stop using diapers.
In this article, we would like to help with choosing the right equipment for children who are starting to fulfill their physiological needs independently.

Why choose a potty?

A potty can be a great solution for younger children. The large toilet bowl for adults can often cause a child to be afraid to use it. This is because most toilets are not suitable for use by younger children due to their size and large opening, which makes it uncomfortable for the child to use.
If our little one is just starting to become independent in this matter, we recommend choosing a potty.
In our store, you can find anti-slip potties, which are a safer and more comfortable alternative to regular ones. Thanks to the rubber base, the potty will not slide on the floor and will not put the child at risk of falling.
We advise paying attention to the material the potty is made of. If it is made of polypropylene and elastomer, we can be sure that keeping it clean will be very easy.

Is a seat cover also a good idea?

The answer to this question should be: "Of course, but not for the youngest children".
Toilet seat covers are a connector between the toilet and the potty. They are designed in such a way that the child can feel comfortable like on their favorite potty, but at the same time learn to use equipment "for adults".
The main task of a toilet seat cover is to reduce the opening of the bowl so that the child can use it comfortably. Many covers also have additional support, similar to that used in potties.
In this case, we also recommend purchasing an accessory equipped with anti-slip rubber, which will limit movement during use.
An additional item that may be useful when using a cover by a child is a step stool.
It will help the child to sit and get off the toilet more easily.
For the safety of our child, it is best for the step stool to also have an anti-slip base.

We hope that this article has helped you choose the right accessories for your child. In our offer of products intended for use by children, you will find only the highest quality products that provide children with proper safety and comfort. We invite you to familiarize yourself with all the items in this category.
