普象-让好设计发光

Embrace, a toilet training seat for sensitive babies: I designed a toilet seat for babies who are sensitive towards the toilet environment. I was looking for ways to somehow integrate the characteristics of the diaper to the seat design so that the child will not feel awkward in the new setting. Thus, I developed an idea of putting handles on left and right and a back rest high enough to match the rise of a diaper around a baby's waist. The handles and the back rest are placed so that the child will still feel the embrace of the diaper, but not feel stuck or uncomfortably immobile. One of the common issues in toilet training is that the child refuses to use the toilet because of the intimidating flushing noise. The melody button on the left handle would ideally, when pressed, play a fun jingle with the flushing noise mixed in. So when the baby goes on the toilet, the tune will alleviate the baby's fear of the noise.

I decided to use this design to continue my project because I wanted to further experiment with the diaper characteristics integrated into the seat. Also, I realized that the footstool attached to the seat would be redundant; most households with toddlers already have footstools for purposes other than for toilet use, so an additional footstool would not be effective.

Thank you!!
