Potty training can be a real challenge for you and your child, especially once they start trying to stay dry at night.

Ensuring your little one can see where they are going and what they are doing when using the potty or toilet at night can make the transition much smoother. It will keep things cleaner too.

We picked the best products for lighting their way to the potty or toilet and helping them feel comfortable spending a penny while everyone else is asleep.

They are also great for kids who are toilet trained but might be reluctant to relieve themselves because of fear of the dark.

If you're after a light for the bedroom, check out our pick of best nightlights.
