There is a huge range when it comes to potty training. Some children learn as early as 15 months and refuse to wear (or need) diapers. Others are not potty trained until 2.5 or 3 years. Most continue to wear at least a pull-up (toddler diaper) until age 4 just in case there are accidents.
But over the last few decades, the age at which toddlers become diaper-free has been creeping upward. In 1957, 92 percent of children were toilet-trained by the age of 18 months, studies found. Today the figure for 2-year-olds is just 4 percent, according to a large-scale Philadelphia study. Only 60 percent of children have achieved mastery of the toilet by 36 months, the study found, and 2 percent remain untrained at the age of 4 years.
