Tossig – Toilet Seat
Like the one above, it is still a big part of potty training, but this is a better option for the older kids. I know 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!

They also hold quite a few books, and they’re the perfect addition to a gallery wall.

Forsiktig – Children’s Stool
We try to keep most things out of sight for the kids, and in most situations, it’s for the best reasons. However, sometimes things need to be accessible for them. This stool is perfect for reaching the sink, a drawer, and just to instill some more
toddler independence.
