There’s been a lot of innovation in the seating arena lately—from toilet seats to high chairs, designers haven’t been ‘lounging around’.
We think you’ll be on the edge of your seat with our first-ever ‘seat guide’ for families:

Problem
The Dora potty seat clashes with the bathroom and touching it all the time…well you know what we mean.

Solution
The Kohler Transitions Quiet Close toilet seat is designed to accommodate the needs of both adults and children without attaching a separate seat. The child ring with the smaller opening, which just flips up and out of the way when it’s a grown-up’s turn, and the Quiet-Close Quick-Release mechanism (which also allows the seat to be removed for easy cleaning of hard to reach areas) help you avoid some of the common toilet-training impediments—fear of falling in and fear of getting fingers pinched.

Need more room in your home for that burgeoning family? Look out the back door—there is a big wide open space just begging to be treated like the rest of the house.
We asked a few designers we know around town (all moms of young kids) what they did in their backyards this year (because it’s one thing to tell us what’s hot and another thing to find out what they did for their own families). We think they had some inspiring ideas, even if they might not fit the budget.
