##Why We Chose It:

I decided to take on a new approach to potty training. My son refused to go to the potty because he found it boring and too repetitive.

I bought him a potty training DVD, Potty Time with Bear, to visually motivate him. I'm glad to report that it worked! My son loves dancing and singing to the songs.

##Why We Chose It:

I let my son use a potty stool when I started to potty train him. I had a lot of choices but I decided to stick with The Potty Stool by Elite Child Corporation.

It was a great buy, although a bit expensive, because my child was able to use the potty quickly. The potty stool looks like a real toilet. It provides added safety because the hand rails around the toilet in which my son can grab hold of, especially when he loses his balance.

Too Big for Diapers (Too Big Board Books) [Parent's Pick]

too-big-for-diapers

##Why We Chose It:

My son is a big fan of Sesame Street. His favorite character is Ernie that's why I bought him Too Big for Diapers book to motivate him to use the potty.

He loves to read it over and over again while he's sitting on the potty. The story is pretty straightforward and very simple that I can even add my own twist to it. The words are pretty basic too so I think this book is more suited for kids younger than one year old. The colorful illustrations also keep my son occupied every time he's using the potty.

Chicco Night Light Soother [Paren'ts Pick]

chico-night-soother

##Why We Chose It:

My daughter used to find it hard to sleep without me by her side. She used to wake up every 2 hours so I had to put her to sleep before I could even catch a wink. This was doubly hard for me because I usually came home late at night.

Luckily, my friend strongly recommended Chico Night Light Soother. I was skeptical at first but when I read the positive reviews about it, I gave it a try. I'm really glad I did! :) The soothing music keeps her relaxed and she easily drifts to sleep in a matter of minutes.

Visionaire Peter Potty Toddler Urinal [Parent's Pick]

peter-potty-urinal

##Why We Chose It:

While potty training my son, I decided to let him use the big toilet so he would get to experience how it is to urinate using the real thing. However, my son was not tall enough to reach it and unfortunately, created a huge messthe first time he used it. So, my son was quite averse to using the big toilet after that unfortunate incident.

With that minor setback in mind, I decided to buy Peter Potty Toddler Urinal for my son. I don't want him to regress so I thought that this product would bridge any gap between using a potty seat and using the real toilet.

Travel Potty [Parent's Pick

travel-potty-by-cool-gear

##Why We Chose It:

My main concern for my son is his health. That's why I'm averse to public restrooms because he caught a bacterial infection when I let him used a public toilet before. From then on, I swore off public restrooms.

This did not deter my son from accompanying me on my monthly travels. I was faced with a dilemma because I refused to let him near any public toilet. So, what I did was to purchase a travel potty by Cool Gear.

5 Pack Ultra "All-In-One" Cloth Diaper Variety Pack – Infant Size [Parent's Pick]

kushies

##Why We Chose It:

I just started with night time potty training so my daughter had to switch from diapers to regular underwear. But since I want her to get accustomed to using regular underwear, I decided to use cloth diapers instead.

The outer layer which is made out of plastic, prevents accidental leaks. It fits my daughter well, just enough space to allow her skin to breathe, thus preventing skin irritation. Since the material is made of cloth, my daughter wakes me up if she feels wet. She was able to distinguish the feeling of being dry vs. being wet. As a result, it helped speed up the potty training process.

Mobi TykeLight Portable GloMate [Parent's Pick]

night-lights-for-kids

##Why We Chose It:

My son gets a bit anxious when night sets in because he's scared of the dark. This makes it more difficult for me to potty train him at night so I had to find a way to make the whole process easier for us.

I bought Mobi TykeLight Portable GloMate to alleviate his fear of the dark. I've found the perfect product because it's not too bright to disturb my son's sleep nor is it too dark to upset him. He loves that the night light rotates its colors – from blue, green, yellow, red etc. The overall blending of colors gives off a comforting and soothing ambiance.
