9 Best Potty-Training Seats and Chairs for Toddlers

Best Potty Seat for Small Bathrooms: Mayfair 88Slow000 NextStep2 Toilet Seat with Built-In Potty-Training Seat

If you've got a small bathroom, it can be nearly impossible to figure out where to put what amounts to a second toilet, or even a potty ring that fits on the seat. This two-in-one toilet seat solves that problem handily. Simply replace your existing seat with the Mayfair seat and lift and lower the kids' potty seat as needed (it attaches magnetically to the lid).

You may still need to start out with a separate potty chair when they're learning, but eventually, you'll be able to streamline. The added feature of the slow-close lid makes sure that you and your littles don't have to worry about slamming it shut (particularly in the middle of the night).

"[I] was so tired of the clumsy toilet seat with the steps attached, big and bulky for our small bathroom," wrote one customer. "Have to always pull it out and put it away 99 times a day. This one you just put down and use and then put back up. It's magnetic. Whoever invented this is a genius, and you made this mom ecstatic!"

Best Travel Potty Seat: Jool Folding Travel Potty Seat

Parents are very enthusiastic about the Jool folding travel potty seat.

They love that it attaches to the toilet with suction cups, eliminating any sliding around, but is still easy to remove and clean. They also like how small it is when folded and tucked into a pouch.
