Best Mattress Protector

Staying dry overnight is the final potty training hurdle, and even bigger kids can have nighttime accidents every once in a while. A good quality – and reliably leak-proof – mattress protector is a total life-saver, especially during those middle-of-the-night sheet changes.

Our parent testers looked at how easy they were to put on and take off the bed, how easy they were to wash, how much protection they offered and whether they were good value. Our little testers shared their expert opinions on how comfy the mattress protectors were to sleep on. Here are our winners.

Gold: Bedwetz Premium Quality Bed Pad with Tuckable Sides

It was so quick and easy to swap over during the night, it washed well, and remained dry to the touch after a bedtime accident. The sheets really do exactly as they say – 100% absorbent and 100% leakproof.
Awards judge Katie, mum to a 4 year old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: “We were blown away, as were our testers with these sheets. They genuinely are 100% absorbent and 100% leakproof, and they hold the wetness away. We think these are an essential bit of kit when potty training.”

Gold: Hygge Sheets Mattress Protector

You can feel the quality and thickness of the materials – it's soft and comfy for my daughter. Because it goes on top of the sheet, you're not constantly washing your bedding, and it's quick and easy to change in the middle of the night.
Awards judge Sian, mum to a 3 year old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: “A glorious selection of designs, this mattress protector makes stripping the bed at night so much faster, due to tuckable sides, not to mention no crinkling sounds and great absorbency too.”

Silver: Panda Kids™ Bamboo Mattress Protector

I'm impressed how they have made something quite boring but essential into something that feels premium and lovely quality. It's soft and thin and the waterproof layer isn't plasticky or hard.
Awards judge Kathryn, mum to a 1 month old and 3 year old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: “We love how soft and effortless this bamboo mattress protector is. It feels quality and sits perfectly without any crinkling under baby’s movements.”

Best Potty

A potty is, unsurprisingly, a potty training essential. You want one that's easy to move around the house, comfortable for your child, good value, easy to empty and clean, and most importantly, one your child will be happy to sit on.

Our mini testers continued their potty training journeys, trying out different potties to pick their favourites. Along with our parent testers, they rated each one on looks and style, comfort, and ease of use. Read on to discover our award-winning picks.

Gold: Potette Max 3-in-1

The design is really clever and practical – it folds up nice and compactly, so it's very easy to carry around. Being able to turn it into a regular toilet training seat is a great feature and I'm looking forward to using it as he grows.
Awards judge Lauren, mum to a 2 year old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "An essential piece of kit in your potty training arsenal. Great if you have more than one loo at home, you can have a potty upstairs and this downstairs. Plus, sling it in the boot while out and about – it really can be used anywhere. And it might also prove helpful to know, it can take a full grown woman's weight too!"

Silver: Nattou 3-in-1 Potty

The splash guard is the best I've found for boys and it gave my son the independence of successful toileting. The design is sleek and looks stylish, and the removable parts meant it was easy to use, empty and clean.
Awards judge Sabrina, mum to a 2 year old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "We like how this potty grows with your child and sits higher than other potties, allowing your child's feet to be flat on the floor."

Best Potty Training Accessory

Looking for a little helping hand when it comes to potty training? These innovative accessories are designed to help you navigate every aspect of moving out of nappies with ease.

Our little testers spent hours testing the best potty training accessories, under the watchful eyes of their parents. Together they took into consideration everything from how much of a difference they make to everyday potty training life, how likely our testers were to use them again, the quality and affordability to select their ultimate winners.

Gold: Splash About Splash Jammers

Putting a swim nappy on my potty training daughter feels like a step back, so it's nice we can skip that altogether with the Jammers. They make me feel confident there won't be any unwanted leaks in the pool and I love the cheerful design.
Awards judge Paulina, mum to a 2 year old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "With a plethora of gorgeous designs, we love the particular attention to detail these jammers offer, like the silicone leg cuffs and the high-backs, so that if there's an escape in the pool, it will stay contained in the neoprene jammers."

Silver: Munchkin Sturdy Potty Seat

The pee guard is a great design feature for avoiding splashes, and the handles work well for transporting as well as giving your child something to hold while using the seat. The built-in feet on the base are my favourite feature to keep it stored neatly.
Awards judge Chiamah, mum to a 2 year old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "A quality, affordable, compact, portable seat, that has handy little in-built feet to stand up when not in use."

Bronze: Potette Plus Disposable Liners

Such a practical solution for parents on the go, offering convenience and peace of mind, We found them invaluable whilst venturing out with my son mid-potty training.
Awards judge Francesca, mum to a 3 year old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "Offering great absorbency, these liners have an in-built pad that turns the wee to gel, keeping it safe to store until you can dispose of it."

Best Potty Training Pants

Potty training pants are the perfect step between nappies and underwear. Designed for little kids to pull up and down themselves, they mimic 'big boy or girl pants' while still providing that much-appreciated leak-proof protection in case of an accident.

Our potty training testers tried out a selection of pull up pants to help select our winners. Their parents also shared their valued opinions on whether these potty training pants were easy to use, reliably leak-proof, comfortable and worth the money. Here are our winners.

Gold: Rascals Premium CoComelon Nappy Pants

My little boy could pull these up and down with ease and we didn't experience any leaks during the day or night. The nappy pants are very soft, the stretch is good and they provide a comfortable fit around the waist and legs.
Awards judge Rebecca, mum to a 2 year old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "Potty training is a big milestone and these pants help make it easier by being able to hold those accidents."

Joint Silver: Bambino Mio Revolutionary Reusable Potty Training Pants

The fun patterns and colours meant that my son was super excited to try on his big boy pants! They really helped him get into the rhythm of using pants alongside his potty. Great for little accidents, but not a full wee, they helped make going to the potty fun.
Awards judge Stephanie Jayne, mum to a 2 year old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "These reusable pants are a great alternative to single-use pull-ups for climate-conscious parents, and are built to catch little leaks and help encourage toddlers to know the signs and head to the loo."

Joint Silver: LittleLearner Potty Training Pants

These are really absorbent – they hold a lot more than you would think and the extra wings for added protection really give you peace of mind. I had no worries about leaks when my child was wearing them.
Awards judge Rebecca, mum to a 2 year old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "Designed to help make a seamless transition from nappies to big kid underwear, with 6 layers of absorbent fabric, they work really well at containing wee, held our testers' poo effectively, and are great for nighttime for a child who is mostly dry. Plus, you can pop them in the washing machine and they come out good as new."

Best Travel Potty

Some potties can be a little bulky, so a travel potty is a worthwhile buy to help you continue your child's potty training development when you're out and about. Lightweight, compact and easy to carry, a travel potty means you'll never be caught short, providing the peace of mind all parents crave.

Our parent testers and their potty-training children took a mix of travel potties with them on family days out, to see just how useful they really were. From how easy they were to carry, empty and clean, to how comfortable the potties were for our mini testers, this is the travel potty that came out top.

Gold: Potette Plus 2-in-1

This is so compact – it fits in the laptop pocket of a backpack – can be used with or without a bag, or as a makeshift toilet seat, and is excellent quality. The design is great, materials solid and it's incredibly portable.
Awards judge Paulina, mum to a 2 year old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "An essential for any parent embarking on potty training, it's great for emergencies, a make shift loo seat, and of course can be used anywhere. Plus, it's adult friendly in emergencies too…"
