Gerber Big Kid Training Pants

Review Credibility: Very Good About 100 reviewers give Gerber Big Kid Training Pants 4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon.com. They say the training pants are soft, classic-looking, not bulky and good at containing small accidents while still forcing a child to be aware of them. Some parents pair them with a waterproof cover to limit messes. They are also easy to machine wash and dry and hold up well, reviewers say. A few complain that they are simply "high priced panties" that don't hold in messes, while others note that they can be hard to find in stores.

Review Credibility: Very Good Molly Balint says Gerber Big Kid Training Pants are an ideal "first undie" that absorb some of the mess of accidents. The soft fabric and waistband are comfy for kids, and they're also easily washed and durable, she says. Commenters have similarly positive reports.

Review Credibility: Good Parenting blogger Johnson says Gerber Big Kid Training Pants are ideal for late-stage potty training, when major accidents are few and far between. She says they absorb enough, but not so much that they discourage a child from heading to the bathroom. The training pants are trim under clothes, but she wishes there was an organic cotton version.
