How to equip a bathroom for small children?

To allow the toddler to behave freely

When designing a bathroom with a child in mind, it is important to remember that our youngest ones are extremely active by nature. The constant need to explore the world means that standing still is absolutely out of the question. This is of course a very positive behavior, but we must remember that the bathroom can be slippery - whether due to the texture of the tiles or the moisture that accumulates on the floor during baths. This can easily lead to accidents.

To avoid the risk of our little ones falling onto the hard floor, we can choose to cover the most vulnerable areas with anti-slip bathroom mats, which prevent accidental loss of balance and ensure that spilled water from the bathtub or shower does not pose a threat that could lead to painful injuries.

Another solution is to use a rug with a rubber layer underneath. This is also a good option because it allows us to avoid standing barefoot on cold tiles. By using this bathroom accessory, we not only increase the level of safety, but also ensure that the child coming out of warm water does not experience unnecessary discomfort, and we do not have to schedule a doctor's visit due to a cold.

Safe bathing for the youngest children

Your child will surely want to reach the highest peaks in the bathroom and observe closely what their parents are doing. To make it easier for them, consider purchasing a non-slip step stool. This plastic gadget, offered by Bisk, is stable, lightweight, and durable. It will surely catch the attention of your little one with its cartoonish, attractive graphics for longer than just a moment. The manufacturer has equipped this step stool model with non-slip rubber pads, which help the little ones maintain their balance.

Let's remember that rubber mats do not solve all safety problems in the bathroom and we should also pay attention to the furniture standing in the bathroom, which may have dangerously sharp edges and corners. However, this inconvenience can be easily solved by using special corner protectors. In case of a fall, they will protect the child from particularly dangerous cuts.

Other threats should also be taken into consideration, not just potential physical injuries. A perfect example of this can be detergents. Although the bathroom may seem like a natural place to store household chemicals and cleaning products, it is absolutely necessary to find a different, safer place for them when a child starts moving around the house on their own. We can be sure that colorful bottles and decorative graphics on the labels will attract our children's attention, and from there it's just a small step to big trouble. The solution may be cabinets with special latches that allow for parental control.

When it comes to ensuring the safety of a child, it may also be worth considering replacing a traditional bathtub with a shower tray. This is a more convenient solution for a child, due to the easier entry and exit from the cabin. However, it is not a perfect solution, as it limits the possibility of playing during bath time. Nothing works as well for pretending to be pirates or exploring the underwater world as a bathtub.

Bathroom arrangement, or a journey into the world of fairy tales

It is worth remembering that a growing child has an incredibly rich inner world and constantly fills it with various characters, heroes or fantastic creatures. Therefore, it will feel much more comfortable in a bathroom that reminds them of stories created in their imagination. In response to these preferences of children and the expectations of customers, we offer products from the renowned brand Bisk.

The youngest members of the family, who are just learning to take care of their physiological needs independently, will certainly be delighted with the colorful potty. The solutions offered by this brand have a universal design, so both boys and girls can use them. Additionally, Bisk potties are equipped with a contoured seat and high backrest. This makes using them comfortable, convenient and - most importantly - safe, and keeping them clean is easy.

A smile on the faces of slightly older children who can already use adult toilets will be brought by toilet seat covers that are designed with fairy tale themes. The interchangeable covers are made of a soft combination of plastic and foam, allowing for a painless transition to learning how to use a standard toilet. Their great advantage is also their universal size, which allows them to be stretched and fitted to all popular types of toilets.

In our store, we offer toilet seat covers with motifs that will appeal to the imagination of every child - sea creatures, sand and vacations, racing cars or cute dinosaurs. In addition to traditional seat covers, we also have versions equipped with anti-slip inserts, such as anti-slip cover, which increases safety when using the toilet.

We can also extend the arrangement of the bathroom to the child's fairy tale world by purchasing a shower curtain that will remind the child of the adventures of their favorite characters.

The washbasin faucet doesn't have to be boring

A child's attention will also be drawn to the stylized bathroom fittings. Colorfully painted faucets practically beg to be used and make our little ones insist on washing their hands more often. Children's models are available in both classic and touchless versions and are equipped with technologies that make them more child-friendly, such as pressure reduction to six liters per minute and increased resistance to intensive use. They also have PZH quality certificates, CE certification, and a several-year warranty.

The manual model of the children's sanitary faucet has an anti-scald system that prevents the water temperature from being set too high, as well as an ECO-STOP function that limits excessive use of the device. On the other hand, the touchless version, which operates based on a built-in photocell, is programmed for 60-second work cycles. In addition, once a day, the automatic self-flushing function is activated, which prevents the growth of bacteria of the Legionella genus, which can cause severe pneumonia and fever.

If we want to encourage children to wash their hands frequently, it is worth printing colorful instructions for proper hand washing and investing in a touchless soap dispenser. Modern and simple solution will certainly be better received by the youngest than a classic (and therefore, in their opinion, boring) bar of soap. It is also a great way to show children how to use such electronic bathroom devices in public places such as a shopping mall or restaurant, where ordinary soaps are used less and less.

Bathroom mirror for a young actor

Every child growing up tests various roles and behaviors, trying to find their place in the adult world. This helps them gain confidence and also teaches them which things are generally approved and which are not. Why not give your little one the joy of a bathroom mirror, where they can act out scenes from their imagination with their favorite characters?

When choosing a mirror for the bathroom, we must remember to make it big enough for the child to comfortably see themselves, without squirming or leaning. The pleasure of watching the youngest member of the family test their facial expressions and body movements is guaranteed!

What else is worth equipping the bathroom for children?

Unfortunately, it is becoming more and more common for children to suffer from asthma or various allergies. To improve their quality of life, it is worth taking care of clean air in the home. For this purpose, an air purifier will come in handy in the bathroom. The best results are achieved by using devices that work in multiple stages, removing various types of pollutants that negatively affect children's health, such as dust, plant pollen, smog, harmful microorganisms, fungal spores, and cigarette smoke.

High-quality purifiers are equipped with proven solutions, such as HEPA filters, catalytic filters, and mesh filled with activated carbon. The electronics that control them will indicate when to replace individual inserts, as well as offer several operating modes (including a quiet night mode) and a parental lock. Thanks to this last solution, we do not risk that the child will accidentally change the device's functions.

When children grow up...

Watching growing children is a wonderful experience. We know this ourselves and we want you to discover this joy with us. Of course, there will come a time when you will need to replace the Pinocchio-shaped bathroom battery with a standard solution. But before that happens, we warmly invite you to take advantage of our store's offer and discover new ideas for children's bathroom design.
