Design, development and prototyping of portable Potty as part of Petit en Suite Child’s Pop-up Privacy Room

Simple Creation Ltd had an idea of creating a portable potty that provided infant privacy whilst potty training her infant. Following a substantial amount of personal research they identified that nothing existing on the market to tackle this problem. The product design team at the University of Huddersfield met with Simple Creation team a number of times to design a new potty with the following objectives:

• Optimise the present design: material, components, weight, functionality
• Design for manufacture in injection moulding
• Minimal manufacturing cost
• Easy to clean
• Easy to carry and store with adjustable height
• Skin contact with the plastic bag is minimal
