My Wish List
The bathroom can be an unfamiliar room for a small child, unapproachable and full of potential danger. It can also be a great place to play and learn. It is worth adjusting the room to the needs of the youngest family member, to help your toddler's first independent steps and ensure his safety in the bathroom. What should be remembered?
There are many dangers for the child in the bathroom. Slippery, wet floor and bathroom fittings, detergents, hot water - all these can threaten the youngest in the bathroom. However, it is difficult to watch the child at each step, and learning everyday activities is the basis in shaping independence. It is worth remembering the basic safeguards that make us calmer when the toddler goes to the bathroom alone. We can also do a lot to make it easier and more convenient for a child to use a toilet, washbasin or bathtub.
Wet tiles, bathtub or shower tray are slippery and can be dangerous for the youngest. In order for the child not to fall over, taking uncertain steps in the bathroom, it is worth equipping it with a bathtub or a shower tray with a special non-slip bottom. Non-slip tiles with grooves can be laid on the floor. However, we cannot always afford such solutions and apply far-reaching changes in the bathroom. Then special anti-slip mats can help. It is important to choose products from materials that are safe for the skin.
The detergents that we store in the bathroom pose a huge threat to curious kids. It is extremely important to keep washing powders and cleaning agents in cupboards at a height inaccessible to children. It is also worth equipping the bathroom cabinets with special protections so that the child cannot open the door by himself. In the lower drawers you can put children's bath toys. The best storage space can be fully extendable, spacious drawers.
Selfusing the bathroom equipment is a challenge for a child. What is simple for an adult can give child a problem. How do you reach a high washbasin or use a toilet when you are so short?
We can help your child's task by choosing separate low models of sanitary facilities for children. Hardly anyone can afford such a solution. It is worth choosing indirect options, for egzample sanitary facilities with height adjusted to the needs of an adult and a child. Special platforms, as well as sanitary handles to help maintain balance can also facilitate the matter. The low countertop under the sink or plastic platform will greatly facilitate the child's toilet.
An interesting solution are thermostatic faucets with the possibility of precise temperature setting. Most of them have the function of remembering settings, so that the child will not burn themselves by turning on the water.
For a child, bathing is very often a favorite moment of the day. Contact with water provides toddlers with many sensations, and bathing activates the imagination and allows you to come up with infinite amounts of new games. However, such a home bathing beach can be a test of patience for parents. After all, water that drips and spills out of the bathtub should be wiped away, getting rid of soap residue and bubble bath.
However, you can make sure that even the most joyful games do not cause flooding the floor. A bathtub with a screen is great for children's bathings. Your toddler will be able to use water pistols and other toys to his heart's content, splash his hands and move freely in the bathtub, and the floor should stay dry, as well as the towels and mirrors nearby.
If the bathroom surface is not sufficient to put in the bathtub, then a shower enclosure with a deep shower tray may be a good solution. Small children can splash on a small surface, it is enough for the deep shower tray to have sufficiently high walls. It is the youngest who have the most fun from bathing in stagnant water, and in the first years of life such a solution is enough for a child to play.

A safe, child-friendly bathroom allows your toddler to develop self-reliance faster, and gives parents greater peace of mind. Therefore, it is worth thinking about several features in advance, which positively affects the comfort level of the whole family.
