Bemata
Toilet Training Seat with Step Stool
6.8/10 overallAround £22 for the set
A combined toilet trainer seat and folding step stool set, sold as one system.
The verdict
The Bemata set, around £22, combines a padded toilet trainer seat with a folding step stool, solving both the too-big seat opening and the too-high toilet in one coordinated purchase. It's better value than buying a seat and stool separately, though the individual pieces feel less premium than dedicated single-purpose products like the Angelcare.
This set combines a padded toilet trainer seat with a matching folding step stool, addressing both problems a toddler faces when moving to a full-size toilet at once: the seat opening is too big, and the toilet itself is too high to climb onto independently.
Against the Angelcare Soft Touch trainer seat in this category, which is sold as a seat only, the Bemata set is better value if you don't already own a separate step stool, since buying the two items separately from other brands typically costs more in total. The trade-off is that the individual seat and stool are each somewhat less refined than dedicated single-purpose products from more established brands.
For a toddler who's both nervous about toilet height and reluctant to sit on an adult-sized opening, having both problems solved by one coordinated purchase, rather than piecing together a stool and seat from different brands, makes the whole transition simpler to manage.
