From diapers to potty chairs, from bottles to cups, this is a time of transition.
Pourty potty
It doesn’t play music and sing praise for your child’s “good jobs,” but if you start your kids on this potty before they are swayed by bells and whistles, you won’t have to worry about soiling the chair’s surface when Pourty is emptied. With a unique pouring duct and anti-drip lip, it enables contents to be emptied away from where a child sits or touches with no mess.

Clicky cups
Transitioning from a bottle to a cup is an exciting milestone, but unwanted sippy spills can make the experience anything but pleasant. Parents twist the cup’s lid to hear a click, assuring that drinks will stay in the cup and not on the carpet. Munchkin cups are BPA free and come in trainer, sippy, flip straw, and “big kid” sizes.

Crawling along
Designed to protect a child’s knees from the time they learn to crawl, walk and then run through the big wide world, Crawlings kneepads are great for indoor use and the rough and tumble great outdoors.
