The Best Potty Training Seats of 2026

The Jool Baby’s design is understated, and like the BabyBjörn, it’s pleasant to look at for grownups. And it works well for children.

While it’s not adjustable, it felt very sturdy when placed on the adult standard toilet seat due to the seat’s design, which included a non-slip grip material. The seat itself was also particularly comfortable owing to its contoured shape. It was also easy to store because it came with an adhesive hook that you could attach to the wall of your bathroom for easy hanging when it wasn’t in use.

My child was attracted to the handles on this potty training seat, which practically called out to her. For a parent in the midst of potty training, it’s a bonus when the kid actually wants to interact with the product. But the handles aren’t there to assist your child in getting onto the seat, only to provide stability while already using it. My daughter practically pulled it off the toilet.

The seat is sturdy and comfortable once your child is on it, and my daughter definitely liked having something to hold on to. But the handles also mean the whole package is a bit bulky. It’s probably not the best training seat for a tiny bathroom.

The Munchkin seat feels stable after placing it on the toilet seat, but the size and reach of the front splash guard was unwieldy. My child had some difficulty getting into a good position on it. The bright green color was also off-putting for me.

The best thing about this seat is it’s fairly narrow and was designed to stand up on its side. This is a major bonus because it means the seat sits neatly out of the way when not in use.

This potty chair for boys and girls leaves something to be desired in terms of stability and comfort. There’s minimal padding on the seat, which is flat all around with no contouring. There are handles, which my daughter liked, but they didn’t seem to make the model more secure.

That said, it was my child’s favorite seat because of the cartoon character pictured. (The brand makes seats with many different characters, so if your little one prefers Elmo or the cast of “Paw Patrol,” you’re in luck.)

As every parent knows, when the kid is happy, they’re far more likely to do something you want them to do. That includes using the potty.

The Primo Freedom Trainer is, in theory, a great product. Giving a child autonomy to climb up a step stool to their potty seems like a great idea! But this particular product felt flimsy, unstable, and even a bit scary.

It also had to be placed right on the toilet bowl, not the seat, which made it feel particularly unsafe. It wobbled and slid across the porcelain.

But my daughter loved using it. There were little outlines of a child’s feet on the bottom rung, and she placed hers over them and smiled every time. There are other products on the market with ladders, which we did not test for this guide, that may do a better job than this trainer.
