Potty / toilet training seat
Stool: (For toilet attached training seats and so your child can wash their hands at the sink.
While some children begin toilet training at around 1 1/2 years of age, you'll want to have a training seat ready to go before your child is ready.  Some training seats attach directly to a regular toilet, in which case you will need the stool, while other training seats are freestanding and child size.

     

Feeding

 

Bathing

Booster seat (While some children like to eat in their highchairs for several years, others want to sit like mom and dad do at the table.)
Plastic plates (Some plates have separate compartments so different food doesn't touch one another and some plates also have suction cups which keeps the plate on the table.)
Non-spill drinking cups
