Abstract: A child's training step and footrest includes a generally U-shaped step which extends around the front and substantially along the sides of a toilet, the footrest being supported by a sidewall of height substantially less than the height of a toilet seat such that it provides support for a child's feet when seated on the toilet. The U-shaped footrest and sidewall provides a stable platform for a child to stand or sit with feet on the step or footrest, even if standing or sitting toward the side of the toilet. Cutouts in the front of the sidewall receive adult-sized feet so that the step and footrest does not have to be removed when an adult wishes to use the toilet, either standing or sitting. The step or footrest also does not detract from the bathroom appearance when left in place.
