Kids' Double Step Stool White - Pillowfort™
Surprisingly there aren’t many options for flushable wipes, but these were our favorite. We only use these for poop clean ups. But they’re in our “potty backpack” and every bathroom. We did try other wipes and like these the best because they don’t t...

Read this potty training book and follow exactly as taught. Read the children’s books to your toddler often. They love learning about the potty and talking about it! They more they hear and see and talk about potty the more ready they will be to star...
The BEST book to follow! Talks about the first 3 days being the START of potty training and they’re the most crucial, but should take about 10 days to solidify as long as parents are consistent and follow the advice of this book. We loved it and our ...

Pottying outside of the house in a comfortable and prepared way!
We created a “potty bag” and this is in there to sit right on big toilets right away!
Frida Fold-and-Go Portable Potty Seat for Toilet
This isn’t the exact one we have but it’s similar. I love that it has a pocket on the outside (can easily use it for accident items), the potty seat, and a change of underwear & clothes/ shoes, flushable wipes and a baggie for accident items. Lov...
Bluey Mini Backpack 10" Woven Small Bag
Underwear
You’ll need a lot more underwear than you think. Underwear in the diaper bag, potty backpack, extras in the car, extras in the dresser etc. be prepared after an accident and stock up BIG time!
Love these as a pull up. We’ve never had a leak and they don’t cause diaper rash or stink when full! When changing from pampers to pull ups (to differentiate there were no more diapers) these were a great choice!

Food/drink
Best cups and food/ snacks to make it through this transition! Make it fun and make it special! Get new snacks they normally don’t get to have and fun new cups to celebrate the “big girl or big boy” transition!
These are great because the weighted straw always ensures there’s a liquid coming out of the straw. However they do leak when they lay down and they sweat with ice a LOT.

These are incredible kids cups! They’re absolutely no spill, even when they are thrown. They sweat a little when ice is in them, but not bad. I think we own every color at this point!
