If you have twins then you definitely have double trouble when it comes to potty training, but it really does not have to be a bad experience. In fact, make your mind up ahead of time that potty training will be fun and successful and more than likely it will be. You will more than likely find out what works and what doesnt when you are potty training twins, but the following tips are some that other mothers have found to be lifesavers when potty training their twins.

Two Potty Chairs
One potty chair is fine for one potty training toddler, but for two potty training toddlers you need two potty chairs. This might seem like a wasted expense and a waste of floor space in the bathroom, but it truly is essential. You want to keep the potty training toddlers focused on potty training, not sharing one potty seat or waiting their turn. These things can come later after the hurdle of potty training has been accomplished.

So, take your toddlers shopping and buy two potty chairs. Let them pick out their favorites. You might end up with two potty chairs just alike or two completely different ones. Dont worry, just make the best of the situation and write your twins names on their potty chair so there is no confusion.

Keep Potty Chairs Nearby
This tip is a challenge for parents because it requires a little extra effort and with twins that is asking a lot, but it will really cut down on accidents in the long run. Wherever your twins are playing make sure to have their potty chairs nearby. That way if they have to potty it is just a few steps and not a long walk to the bathroom.

Make it Fun
When your twins are not interested in stopping their game or movie to go to the potty you need to make going to the potty more fun than what they are currently doing. So, consider putting on some music and having a dance party to the bathroom or perhaps invite your twins to a party in the bathroom. It takes time and effort, but if going to the potty is fun your twins will be more than likely to do it!

Twins arent So Tough After All
So, you have read the above tips and some of the sound like they might work. Go ahead and give them a shot with your twins. More than likely you will find them to be successful and that the whole potty training process with twins is possible and can go smoothly. Keep in mind you will have days where you feel as if all you do is take your twins to the potty, but one day they will learn and you will have potty trained not one toddler but two!
