Product Information

That said, there are certain products that can help your toddler learn this important new life skill. For example, the NHS advises that training pants can be very useful during potty training. Potty training pants may be either disposable pull-ups or washable pants. The reusable ones are made of cloth, so they have the feel and comfort of normal pants, as well as being able to be easily pulled up and down. With so many different potty training pants available on the market, it can be hard to know which are most suited to your child. After extensive research and trawling the Mumsnet Forum, the best overall potty training pants are the award winning Bambino Mio Potty Training Pants, which Mumsnetters love for their bright designs, comfort, absorbency and value for money. While other charts involve rows and columns, this chart allows your child to go on a "journey" from point A to point B. Each successive goal reached (such as a dry day) moves the child one step closer to the finish line. You can build in "bonus spaces" along the way that entitle the child to a special treat.

Some parents swear by potty training pants when potty training their child, while others feel it’s better to go for the speedier method and move straight to ordinary pants. Make sure to praise your child for any successes they have, but also be patient and understanding if accidents happen.But if you’re concerned about days out while potty training, first days at nursery or long car journeys, they’re a great stepping stone, and many parents use them throughout potty training to make clean-ups easier. How many potty training pants do I need? The NHS advises that it’s really important to remain calm and patient during the potty training process and to allow your child to take all the time they need to adjust to using a potty rather than nappies. The Bambino Mio ones work for us and seem to wash and dry well.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user T0rt0ise) Our verdict

Every child is unique, and different strategies may work for different children. Potty training charts are just one tool among many that can assist in the potty training process. It’s important to be patient, consistent, and supportive throughout the journey, and to tailor the approach to your child’s individual needs and development. They were useful in the in-between months when mine had no clue about using the potty and before they finally went into pants. It gave them the chance to use the potty or toilet independently, but if they didn't bother, then they didn't need a change of clothes.” (Vetted by Mumsnet user megletthesecond) Our verdict Potty charts basically remind you to praise your child’s effort during potty training and recognize minor achievements along the way. Our printable potty charts list the milestones that your child needs to reach to be potty trained. These milestones are as follows:Since many of these charts can be printed for free, you can try a few to see which one suits your needs. If they don't work, scrap them and move to another format. No harm done. Pull-ups are essentially disposable nappies that you can pull up and down, so there’s less of a training aspect to them than potty training pants.

Sizes: 18 months+, 2-3 years and 3 years+ | Age range: 18 months to 3+ years | Machine washable: Yes What we love The downside is that a few users initially found the sizing came up a bit large, but they do tend to shrink after the first wash.Let’s be brutally honest here - disposables aren’t great for the environment. Try to use washable potty pants if possible - the planet will thank you for it. However, if you’re really not keen and just need a simple solution to getting your toddler through potty training or nights when they’re not yet dry, Huggies are a recommended brand.

It becomes a shared activity where parents can celebrate their child’s achievements, provide support, and offer encouragement. This interaction strengthens the parent-child bond and makes potty training a more enjoyable and collaborative experience. Sizes: 18 - 24 months, 2 - 3 years and 3 - 4 years | Age range: 18 months to 4 years | Machine washable: Yes What we love Training pants are part of potty training so there’s no point thinking about them until your toddler is ready for the potty. This is generally between 18 months and three-and-a-half years. It depends on how you’re going to use them. If your child is wearing them every day, you’ll want at least five pairs of reusable potty training pants to start with.

As soon as they’re confident, really. Many children take a little longer to be dry at night and use some form of pull-ups or training pants well into primary school, particularly when they're away from home. The award-winning Bambino Mio Reusable Swim Nappy is made from lightweight fabric which won't weigh your baby down in the water like disposable nappies do. The adjustable drawstring and leakproof leg design keeps everything contained in the pool but doesn’t swell up in the water. From a practical perspective, look for training pants that are machine washable and easily dried as you'll likely get through a handful in the first few days. Most of the training pants on our list are machine washable and easy to dry.So it's time to potty train your child. Take a deep breath and have a little fun with it. After all, there are some great resources to make the process a celebration of learning a new skill rather than an overwhelming obstacle on the way to a diaper-free life. We've used them for all five of ours. I've found them great for the car or when we were out and couldn't be sure of a loo or anywhere to use a potty in a hurry. They can be pulled up and down easily, when wet they feel wet so the child knows he/she has wet but they protect anything that's being sat on at the wrong time and also stop trousers getting wet or dirty if there is an accident.” (Type of pant suggested by Mumsnet user CatWithKittens) Our verdict
