All the signs are there: a fascination with undies, the insistence on watching you go to the toilet, and the constant questions, like “Mummy, what’s poo made of?”. Toilet training is imminent, and when it comes to your list of survival gear for the job, a kids’ toilet seat should be on it.
Kiddie toilet seats are designed to be comfy for tot bots and help make the ‘real’ toilet look less cavernous and terrifying. They also help little learners to feel big.
