Several years ago, John Young was watching a football game and made a grocery run with his toddler during halftime. He figured it was a quick trip, so he left the diaper bag back at home with his wife. The inevitable, “Daddy, I have to go potty” had him running for the nearest restroom. Once there, the unthinkable happened, John lost his grip on his child and the little one ended up to his armpits in the toilet. Not a pretty sight. It was then that the idea for the Potty Hammock was born.
The Potty Hammock is a portable, compact and washable potty seat that slips over a toilet seat and secures with a drawstring and Velcro tabs. Potty humor being what it is, the idea and name of the Potty Hammock at first glance seems a little silly. Yet, any pediatrican will tell you that consistency is a key factor of potty training and the Potty Hammock provides just that without having to lug around a huge potty or plastic seat wherever you go. What’s more, the Potty Hammock provides a sanitary barrier when you’re in a public restroom. Pretty clever, huh?

This product is fantastic. Thank you to Clever Parents. We’ve been out of the potty training business for a number of years. We had a few guests visit and boy, was it great to have a something for their children, that we could keep tucked away in the top drawer of the guest room.
