What NZ parents say

EC works! Our 5 week old is potty trained for poops and refusing to go in his diaper. If you’re on the fence, DO IT!!!!

This top hat potty has been such a fun and practical addition to our baby’s routine! the little top hat shape makes it feel special and fun rather than just a potty. My baby took to it quickly, and the size is perfect for newborns and early toddlers. Easy to take on the go. And very easy to clean out simply fill with water and dump right in the toilet.

Love this for early elimination communication! My daughter is now four months old and we have been using this Top hat potty since she was nine days old. It is super easy and comfortable to use, I like the fact that it has a little fleece lining in case any spills happen, I once knocked it over and nothing came out!
