The Facts
The unique position in which baby (or toddler) is held in the Baby Throne allows for easy and complete elimination of waste from the bowel. See how the Puborectalis muscle constricts the colon in a standing or sitting position but relaxes allowing complete elimination in the optimal squat position.
Most cases of encopresis are the result of chronic constipation. The longer the stool remains in the colon the more difficult it is to push out. This highlights the importance of a routine, squatting and complete elimination!

Baby Throne & Potty Training &/or Toilet Training
The Baby Throne was created by Zoe Durbach; mother to her son Hector Knight Durbach. When Hector was about 4 months old she noticed that her son showed indications of when he wanted to “go” and that a specific squat position triggered the instinct to “push” and empty the bowels completely.
She discovered that it was not necessary for Hector to be sitting in dirty diapers on a regular basis especially when he was 6 months old and started eating solids. She also found that it is possible to be finished with diapers (number 1 and 2s!) well before 18 months. This is the same age that children were toilet trained before the invention of the disposable diaper over 40 years ago!
Don't believe it? Watch Hector prove to you by pushing every 3 seconds until he is done in less than 90 seconds and his bowels are empty. Watch for the happy face at the end! Less time than it takes to change a number 2 diaper. Plus of course no nappy rash (diaper rash), infections etc simply because the alkaline faeces does not touch their bottoms.
There was (and is) nothing on the market that is suitable to hold babies, or even toddlers, safely in an optimal squat position. Zoe Durbach MSc MBA is a scientist and an engineer so it was easy for Zoe to create the Baby Throne to hold Hector safely in that optimal squat position (and she patented it!).
The Baby Throne is now made from a soft, comfortable foam. This also allows baby to make the connection between wanting to “go” and the Baby Throne.

On the very first prototype Baby Throne his mom made. It was made with wood, foam and lots of plumbing tape!
