Potty Training Essentials for Babies & Toddlers in India

Potty training is a huge milestone for both babies and parents. It’s that special (and sometimes stressful) phase when your little one transitions from diapers to independent toilet use. But with the right tools and a little patience, this journey can be smooth, successful, and even fun.

At AllThingsBaby, we curate India’s most thoughtful and premium collection of potty training products—from potty seats to step stools—designed for safety, ease of use, and comfort. Whether you're training your toddler or gifting a potty training set to a fellow parent, we’ve got everything you need to support this important milestone.

When Is the Right Time to Start Potty Training?

Every child is different, but most parents begin potty training between 18 months and 3 years. Signs your child may be ready include:

• Showing interest in the toilet
• Staying dry for 2+ hours
• Disliking dirty diapers
• Being able to follow basic instructions
• Communicating when they need to go

The key? Don’t rush. Make sure your baby feels safe, encouraged, and involved.

Potty Training as a Gifting Idea

Parents might not expect it—but a potty training starter set is one of the most thoughtful and practical gifts for toddlers. It shows you’ve considered their next big milestone, beyond the baby stage.

🎁 Great for:

• First birthday gifts
• Toddler milestone hampers
• Practical, non-toy gifting
• Parents starting preschool prep
• Grandparent-to-grandchild presents

Bundle it with:

• Wipes
• Potty seat sanitiser
• Step stool
• Training pants

3. Potty Training Pants (or Pull-Ups)

While not available in every store, these are an important in-between product between diapers and underwear. They help kids learn to pull pants up/down and feel the difference when they’re wet—essential to the learning process.

Pair with:

• Reward charts
• Books on potty training
• Training wipes
