One of the standout features of the Cushie Step Up is its integrated step stool. This dual-purpose design allows children to easily step up onto the toilet, promoting independence. The sturdy step is designed for safety, enabling children to climb up confidently without the fear of slipping. Many potty seats on the market fail to address this crucial aspect of potty training, but the Cushie Step Up's thoughtful construction alleviates concerns and helps children feel empowered as they take charge of their potty training journey.
