This potty is the best for those tough potty training days (weeks, months . . . ). Its removable insert makes it easy to dump it all out, clean it up, and keep moving.

Like the one above, it is still a big part of potty training, but this is a better option for older kids. Sometimes going on the big toilet can be scary to them, so this is where this toilet seat comes in – still using the big kid potty but just with an added seat!

4. Bekvaem – Spice Racks

I know what you’re thinking – how are spice racks a great baby or kid find? Well, these are amazing to use as bookshelves! They come in a plain birch color, so they’re also easy to DIY and paint based on your nursery/children’s room. They also hold quite a few books and are the perfect addition to a gallery wall.

5. Trofast – Storage Combination With Boxes

Are your kid’s toys all over the living room? Want to find something that goes with your décor without being too kiddish? These storage containers are perfect for that. You can get colorful bins (yellow, orange) or keep them neutral with the light white stained pine and white bins. Perfect for hiding those Barbie dolls and race cars.
