Public toilets are designed and made for adults. Regular toilet seats are simply too big for small children. The seats sides are too wide for a child's rear-end, so they need to balance with only a small portion of each thigh on the seat; and their feet can't reach the floor to provide more stability. Think about it. Imagine trying "to go" whicle sitting with your thighs on a 2-by-4 and your feet off the ground. No wonder children grab the sides of the toilet! Don't make your child balance on the front edge of a toilet seat. ZEETS help keep them comfortable and safe*.
* Note: ZEETS are recommended for children up to 40 pounds.
