BabyBjörn Step Stool
A light, non-slip step for the toilet and basin — it gets used every day for years.

A step stool is the toilet-training helper we would buy even if you skip the potty: it lets your toddler climb onto the toilet with a seat insert, reach the basin to wash hands, and later brush their own teeth. This one has non-slip grips on top and underneath, is light enough for a toddler to carry, and is easy to wipe. Owners on Baby Bunting and overseas retailers rate it very highly. The cons are small: it is pricier than a generic step, some wish it were taller for high basins, and a single step will not reach every kitchen bench — and that is fine, because toddlers should not be up at the stove.
