This is one I’d look at if your toddler already enjoys Daniel Tiger. Having a familiar character talk about potty time can make the idea feel a little less new.

Hilarious, kid-friendly read to normalize it. We read it daily- turns training into giggles not tears.

My son loves getting on the toilet just so he can have this book☺️. Having buttons that make sounds along with it keeps the lm very engaged and interested.

I looked at this when I wanted a clearer idea of how to actually approach potty training. Fir the parent who wants more guidance rather than just another book for the toddler.

I like the idea of giving your little one their own little potty while they're getting used to the whole process. This is a straightforward option if you don't want anything too fancy.

This is one I'd look at when your little one is ready for the big toilet but still needs a little help getting up there. Having the step and seat together is pretty convenient.

I love this one because it gives you two options in one. It can be used as a little potty when you need one, or as a seat on a regular toilet when that's the easier option.
