It can be pretty hard to get excited about a potty; not only because of what its mere presence portends – a daunting, exasperating time that will test the very fibre of your being (and your carpeting) – but also because, generally speaking, potties have but one, singular, boring function.

Brand new, award-winning LumiPotti, on the other hand, is a little different.

With a special movement-activated night light, LumiPotti helps children master night dryness. Placed near your little one’s bed, the smiling light casts a warm glow to light the path to and from the potty. And, the battery-operated device is activated by movement with auto-fade 60 seconds after the last detected pitter-patter — so it’s on when you need it and off when you don’t.

But because the night light is removable, it can also be used as a standalone night light, which comes in handy long before toilet training, i.e. for checking on baby and settling after night-time feeds.

Lumipotti is the single solution to you and your child’s lighting needs whilst leaving them to sleep without distraction in the dark. And, best of all, when your child has the confidence to go to the bathroom, they can use the auto light on its own to light the way.

Obviously, it’s not as fun a purchase as, say, one of these, but if you’re looking to maximise potty practicality, this 2-in-1 is definitely a bright idea.
