Description
This toilet training seat is a foldable ladder with a removable potty, non-slip floor pads and adjustable legs with four anti-slip stoppers, suitable from 12 months and weighing 1.36kg. It folds flat against the side of the toilet when nobody is using it.
The awkward middle stage of toilet training is not the potty and it is not the adult toilet, it is the gap between them. A toddler who has outgrown a floor potty still cannot climb onto a full height toilet, cannot get their feet onto anything solid once they are up there, and cannot be left alone. So a parent ends up lifting, holding and hovering for months. A ladder with its own steps and a stable seat closes that gap, because the child gets themselves up and stays put without being held.

Why This Beats Lifting Them Up Every Time
-
Child climbs it themselves - the whole point of toilet training is independence, and a ladder is what makes that physically possible.
-
Adjustable legs - toilet heights vary between houses, so the legs are set to suit yours rather than the other way around.
-
Four anti-slip stoppers plus non-slip floor pads - a bathroom floor is usually tiled and often wet, which is exactly where stability matters.
-
Removable potty - lifts out for emptying and cleaning without dismantling the frame.
-
Folds flat - stores at the side of the toilet between uses instead of taking up the middle of a small bathroom.
How Do You Use a Toilet Training Ladder?
Stand it in front of the toilet, adjust the legs so the seat sits at the right height, and check that all four stoppers are flat on the floor. The child climbs the steps on their own, sits, and has their feet supported the whole time, which is what most toddlers actually struggle with on an adult toilet. When they are finished it folds and goes back beside the toilet.
What Age Is Toilet Training Usually Started?
This ladder is rated from 12 months, but readiness is about the child rather than the calendar. Australian health services generally describe most children as showing signs of readiness somewhere between 18 months and three years, and the signs are practical ones: staying dry for longer stretches, telling you when they are wet, and showing interest in the toilet. Starting before a child is ready tends to make the process longer, not shorter.
Does the Ladder Fold Away Between Uses?
Yes. It is designed to fold and be stored at the side of the toilet, which matters in the small bathrooms most Australian homes and apartments have. At 1.36kg it is light enough to move with one hand while carrying a child with the other.
Who Buys These
Parents in the middle of toilet training who have realised the floor potty is now the problem rather than the solution, families in apartments where a permanent step is not practical, and grandparents setting up a bathroom for regular visits. It is also common in share houses and second homes where a full time toddler setup is not wanted but the gear needs to be there on the weekends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the potty removable?
Yes, it lifts out for emptying and cleaning.
What is it made of?
Polypropylene, a non-toxic plastic chosen because it wipes clean and handles a wet bathroom.
Will it fit our toilet?
The legs are adjustable, which is what accommodates different toilet heights. Check the height of your own pan before setting it up.
How heavy is it?
1.36kg, light enough to fold and move one handed.
Does it slip on tiles?
It has non-slip floor pads and four anti-slip stoppers on the legs. Make sure all four are seated flat and the floor is dry.
Can a child use it unsupervised?
No. Toddlers should always be supervised in a bathroom, on this or any other training aid.
Which colours can I choose?
Blue and white, or yellow and blue.
Fast Australian Shipping
We dispatch from Australia, so this ladder reaches Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin quickly, and we post to regional and remote addresses as well. Orders placed on a business day are picked the same day wherever stock allows, which helps when a child has decided this week is the week.
Product photography is indicative. Colours may vary slightly between screens and the item in hand, and hand measured dimensions carry a small tolerance. Always supervise children in the bathroom.
