A potty with iPad support: no fear of splashing

If you have chosen the urinal option for the sometimes complicated transition from diaper abandonment, perhaps the child will resist using that small portable toilet. The solution is in this invention: the "iPotty for iPad", a potty with tablet holder.

It is a creation of the CTA Digital company, which has designed a potty for children ready to add a tablet and thus make the “bath time” a technological moment. Although at first glance it seems fun, this invention has its risks, and I don't just talk about splashes.

If the mobiles are already grass of faecal bacteria, which can be dangerous for children (and not children) who manipulate them, the same could be said of the tablets. Sure to take it to the bathroom or, as in this case, that the device is in the toilet-toilet-potty, does not help them to be clean.

On the other hand, I don't know to what extent it is good for the child to use the potty as a play or recreation space. Although it is customary for some adults to go to the bathroom with some reading and more modernly with phones and all kinds of mobile devices, there are studies that ensure that sitting for a long time in the toilet is harmful to health.

And although Hemorrhoid cases are quite rare in children, it is not necessary to neglect that the habit of remaining a long time sitting in the toilet seems to favor its appearance. I imagine that with the potty the problem that causes the “channels” or “balloons” embedded in the anal wall to become inflamed will be the same.

But beyond that possible immediate effect, what would worry me most is that the goal of the potty vanished, and that the child took that seat as a game to enjoy the tablet. Afterwards, I would surely transfer that urinal-tablet moment when I go to the toilet. And the toilet is for what it is, isn't it?

In addition, the potty is prepared thanks to a cover to become a real seat (I don't know if it is very comfortable, the truth), which would extend the life of the potty, but it could also lead to confusion to the child who is learning to use it .

Finally, a child in the age of leaving the diaper I do not know if I would leave that device so handy, I am not convinced by the idea at all. If I don't leave my daughters alone with the iPad, except for a smaller child, no matter how assured I am on that base, a kind of lectern attached to the "throne."

They will have time to get hooked on the little pots, and not start using them as some older, at any time and place. Haven't you heard that from “Do not let go of your mobile or go to the bathroom”? (Well, the "go to the bathroom" is an understatement ...).

The potty with iPad stand

If after all these considerations you are still interested in knowing more about this invention, the potty with tablet support has just been presented at the 2013 CES Electronic Consumer Fair in Las Vegas, and is the creation of the CTA Digital company, although not yet We found it on their website.

And is that the “IPotty for iPad”, the “urinal for iPad”, will go on sale in March at a price of about 30 euros to change, without iPad included, of course.

It seems that it has attracted the attention of the attendees at the fair, in the meantime metallic gadget this touch of colorful plastic. Surely there is more than one application to encourage the child to use the potty, and they can see it on site ...

They say responsible for the CTA Digital company that the device has aroused a lot of interest among parents, who think that iPotty would be great for the diaper operation.

Regarding what he added in the title, the “no fear of splashing“, It has its raison d'être in that the support for the iPad includes a transparent plastic protector that is placed on the screen to protect it.

There is also a “pee guard” for boys, which is placed in the forntal part of the potty to prevent the trickle higher of the children exceeds the limits of this invention.

But as you can imagine after all that I have told you above, if the urinals seem to me unhelpful, this potty with tablet holder I find it an impractical invention, nothing cheap compared to other urinals and less suitable.
