Essential Tools

Brought to you by Huggies Pull-Ups Training Pants

When it looks like “all systems go” for your child, start gathering up the essential tools. Have a little kick-off celebration to introduce these tools and your child’s big start.

Here’s our list of toilet training basic equipment:

Potty Seat

When it comes to using the toilet, it's best to start small. Potty chairs are best for most kids, but a potty seat for the big toilet can work with a little assistance and a step stool. TIP: Give your child some ownership in the “new potty”. Wrap it up as a present, or personalize it, or decorate it with stickers!

Rewards

Rewards and praise can work wonders. Find what motivates your child – a favourite treat, small prizes, a fun progress chart, a phone call to a grandparent–and of course, high-fives and hugs. TIP: Different levels of rewards are appropriate for different levels of success. If a reward no longer motivates your child, try a new one to help keep interest high.

Learning Materials

Toilet training books and videos are a great way to introduce your child to toilet training and help him or her stay interested. TIP: Personalise your very own storybook right now–free!

Training Pants Training pants are a great way to introduce toilet training and help keep your child motivated to become a Big Kid. TIP: It’s best to use them consistently–switching between nappies and training pants can be confusing and slow progress.

Pull-Ups Toilet Training pants are a great way to encourage your child's independence and say loud and clear– I’m A Big Kid Now. Pull-Ups Toilet Training pants have Big Kid underwear-like designs for that motivation to stay dry like older kids.
