Infant toilet trainer

Abstract

This invention is concerned with an infant toilet trainer ( 10 ) which includes a seat ( 12 ) having an aperture therein ( 18 ), a support formation ( 14 ) for supporting the body of an infant seated on the seat and a base ( 16 ) which can be placed on a seat of a toilet to allow the aperture of the seat to mouth into the bowl of the toilet. The infant toilet trainer of the invention is characterised in that the seat, support formation and base are of unitary construction and produced from a resilient material. These features will allow at least a portion of the support formation to flex towards an infant seated on the seat under the influence of the weight of the infant.
