- Smooth wipe-clean surfaces
What age is this for?+

How do I clean it?+
Warm soapy water and a cloth. All surfaces are smooth, with no seams for anything to collect in.
Does it fold flat for the car?+
The portable models fold down for a boot or buggy basket. The stool does not fold, since it is designed to stay by the toilet.
Will it hold a bigger toddler?+
Weight limits are in the description. The wide base is there to stop tipping when a child shifts around.

Description+
A first potty low enough for your child to sit down on unaided, with a wide base that does not tip when they wriggle. Wipe-clean, no seams for anything to hide in.
Parents usually add
Height is the whole thing
Most potty refusals are about position rather than willingness. Feet flat, knees above hips, and a seat a child can get onto alone.
Feet Reach The Floor
Wide Stable Base
Child Can Climb On Alone
3 reasons the right potty matters
Feet on the floor changes everything
A child who cannot brace their feet cannot push. Height is not a detail, it is most of the problem.
Somewhere to go, wherever you are
Long drives, parks and car parks. Having a potty in the boot removes the panic from the whole outing.
They will use one they like
A potty that looks like a whale gets sat on. A clinical one gets refused. That is just how toddlers work.
Why these work
Correct Height
Sized so a toddler's feet reach, which is what makes pushing possible.
Portable
Folds or packs down to fit in a boot or a buggy basket.
Wipe Clean
Smooth surfaces, no seams for anything to hide in.
Stable
A wide base, so it does not tip when a child shifts their weight.

What parents say
Example layout. These are illustrative, not customer reviews.
Two weeks in and she tells us before she goes now. The fact she can feel it is genuinely the thing that made it click.
Bought the 10 pack and I am glad I did. Four pairs would have meant laundry every single night in week one.
Hold a wee well. A poo is a different story, but we knew that going in. Washing has been easy.
He puts them on himself which he could never do with nappies. That alone was worth it.
Car seat survived a long drive. That is the entire review really.
Sizing runs slightly small so size up. Once we did that they have been great.
She picks her print every morning and it has turned the whole thing into something she wants to do.
Still going strong after about forty washes. No sagging in the waistband yet.
Good for daytime. We use the bed mat at night which is the right way round.
Third child and I wish I had known about these for the first two.
The wet bag is small but it is the thing I use most. Keeps the car civilised.
Took our son a few days to stop treating them like nappies. Once he felt one accident he got it.
