My son use it for pass urine and wash hand. Of course I’m around when washing hand. As for urine he did it himself.

sigh, since i cant find a good solution, i decided to just do a children sink, scared at nite my #3 go herself or other kids go toilet wifout turning on the light, if the stool is not put back to proper plc in the toilet, they can trip n fall n knock the toilet bowl.

Yup, Ikea’s low step stools (those white with colourful dots on top!) for my DS (coming to 4 yo) too!

Stack 2 together for him to get onto the adult toilet and then push them to the sink for him to wash his hands afterwards. He is at all times supervised because after washing his hands, he need to turn and step down. The stool is quite narrow so I scared he step down and onto the sometimes wet and slippery floor may slip so always hold his hand to turn and then step down from the stools. The stool itself not slippery.

Anyway, yeh, still got to tightly supervise!

But if your kid still need to tip toe and stretch to reach to tap then in that case, the stool is not high enough for him.

When DS was much younger, in order to reach the tap on the sink, I have 2 step stools for him. Lower step stool to get onto the higher step stool in order to reach the tap. Haha. Even then, I do not allow him in the toilet unsupervised.

i hv the ikea low stool. its good in that it doesnt slip at the bottom and on the surface… but its light. so if my naughty kid tip toes on it, i scared it will topple forward

Yah was trying to find some pics to post. I have the same one that blurbee posted here, the kids use that to reach the sink and the lower ones, well at one time, DS use it in order to pee in the toilet bowl.

There is a lower version at $3.90.

Have the really low ones and the higher ones. They come with antislip bottoms and there are also round antislip flat studs on the seat as well. They don’t topple easily.

I just bought one yesterday. So far quite like it, cos there is friction on top and bottom. But of course, I’m always there when DD uses it to wash hands / brush teeth
