The Best Potty for Newborn Elimination Communication
The Top Hat Potty can be held between the thighs for baby to use at ages 0-12 months of age (sometimes older, depending on the size of the baby).
It is great for nighttime, outings, travel, and breastfeeding while pottying, as well as for an everyday potty for a small baby.
This new and improved version includes a soft 100% cotton fleece cozy and an extra-wide rubber band on the potty neck, for comfort and slip-prevention, respectively….in 4 muted, gender-neutral colors.
Recyclable, made of lightweight and BPA-free plastic, you can bring this non-toxic potty with you anywhere.

NON-SLIP TO PREVENT SPILLS

What is elimination communication and why does this baby potty matter?
Elimination Communication is a gentle, non-coercive way to respond to a baby’s natural hygiene needs, from as early as birth. Like all mammals, human babies instinctually resist soiling themselves, their sleep space, and their caregivers, and they clearly communicate about it from birth. With EC, we learn baby's signals and natural rhythms and assist them with this process until they naturally gain independence (usually by 9-18 months of age).
With EC, we tune into what our babies are born asking for, team up to help them use the toilet while they develop motor skills and long-term memory, and eventually teach them how to do it themselves. It's a very natural transition to toilet independence. Parents who EC use the diaper as a "back-up" instead of a permanent, wearable toilet. We invest our time up-front (not as much as you'd guess) so we don't have to potty train and reteach our children to go in the toilet later.
EC can be done part-time, with or without diapers, with any type of potty...but the top hat potty makes EC dramatically easier. The top hat potty bowl is "Go Diaper Free" author Andrea Olson's top recommended tool for doing elimination communication with a newborn baby.
The top hat potty helps the world by:
- Reducing the barriers to starting Elimination Communication for parents worldwide - These potties make EC so much easier
- Reducing diaper waste - ECed babies typically use less than 1/2 the diapers of non-ECed babies
- Helping parents stick with EC because they now have the right tools - longevity!
Do your part and conveniently start using the toilet with your baby, today...reducing the number of diapers in the landfill and helping your baby stay clean and feel heard. <3

Love the potty but it was missing the cozy and the band.

I really love that this baby potty can be held between my thighs while baby sits on it. It is sturdy, easy to clean and seems comfortable enough to sit on while baby does their business. I have used a regular bowl in a pinch before and I had to hold the baby instead of sitting them upon it. I also like the size and that it is so portable for on the go.

I know what you’re thinking - $30 for a little plastic bucket and piece of fabric? But it’s worth it if you’re actually trying to do early potty training with a young baby. My newborn was crying when we tried to awkwardly hold her over the sink or a bigger baby potty. This one fits her bum perfectly so its way easier to hold her, we can just sit her on it, she’s clearly more comfortable, and all of that means more successful early potty training. It’s going really well now. So yes, this little plastic bucket and piece of fabric is worth $30.

Potty is great, however seller did not include the cozy or rubber band in the parcel. For the ridiculous price, pretty terrible service.

The rubber band is missing. It is painful to return the product for this. I may try to figure out something?

We are so happy with this potty, and so is our baby! We’ve been using it for four months and our baby has been great about going #2 in it. We haven’t had a poopy diaper in weeks! Highly recommend if you’re ready to commit.

I started potty training my baby at 3 months old and this mini potty has made it so much easier for me. The small size allows me to keep it handy on my nightstand so that when he needs to go, it’s right on hand. It’s versatile in that I can potty him while nursing or even walking around. Easy to clean and comfortable for him to use.

It seems to be well-designed for the job, and we've been able to use it a few times with our baby, but only the plastic bucket part arrived - it's missing the seat cover and band shown in the picture and listed in the description. Without the band, the potty slips easily when we are trying to put the baby on it, and without the seat cover, the baby feels insecure and can't comfortably use it. If we had those features as described, I anticipate this would be a five-star review.Update: I reached out to the seller directly and they sent me the missing parts!

In my effort to minimize baby purchases, I didn’t start out with the top hat when my baby was a newborn. I thought I could just use the BabyBjorn potty insert for the newborn days. But my newborn baby was never comfortable on that insert as it is larger, so our EC journey was not off to a great start.Then I ordered this product. Game changer. It is the perfect size for a tiny newborn bottom. Also great for if you need to nurse baby on the potty. This was our all-day, every day potty for baby from the time she was a couple weeks old until about 6 months old. We never really used the potty cozy because I found it would just get soiled immediately and my baby was comfy enough without it.This product may seem pricey for what it is, but I found it to be worth it for my newborn’s comfort. I feel like this top hat potty was instrumental in our success with elimination communication

Update Dec 5th 2019:Found another awesome way to use this. As a travel potty! I pop a biodegradable dog poop bag in it (we have a dog, so had bags handy) and voila, potty on the go. My baby has used it this way a few times now when out and about. It's (literally) freezing cold here now, so pottying her in the great outdoors isn't really an option. Plus when running errands the baggy is great because she can go in the nice warm car, I tie a knot, and can dispose of it later when I'm able to. Very helpful with a tiny baby!I just gave birth to my second baby a week ago. We EC with our first, and I remember seeing this potty and wondering if it would be worth it, but never tried it. Fast forward six years, and wow I wish I'd have bought it back then!It is SO EASY to use. My eight day old daughter has pretty clear cues for when she has to pee and poop. This potty has made pottying her so easy we have caught almost every pee and poop since we got it. She is too small to actually be sat on it, but because of the shape/size I can rest my own hands on it as I support her legs, back and head with my body. It's great. The cotton fleece cozy is a fantastic addition too. Coming into winter it's nice not to have to touch the cold plastic, or to have her body touch it! We haven't really left our house with her yet, but when we do I'll be bringing this with us!
