Around £22 for the set

A combined toilet trainer seat and folding step stool set, sold as one system.

Reviewed by SepehrNot yet hands-on tested — based on research & published specs

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.

What we liked

  • Solves both height and seat-opening problems in one purchase
  • Better value than buying a seat and stool separately
  • Folding stool stores flat when not needed

Where it falls short

  • Individual pieces feel less premium than dedicated single-purpose products
  • Stool surface can get slippery when wet, needs supervision
  • Bulkier to store as a combined set than a seat alone
