Toddlers' toilet seat crush peril

An increasing number of small boys may be finding toilet training a more
painful experience than they anticipated, say safety experts.

Doctors at one English hospital reported four cases in which a toddler's
penis had been injured by a falling toilet seat.

The fashion for heavy wooden and ceramic seats is worsening the problem,
they say.

Figures suggest there may be up to 250 similar cases a year in the UK.

Dr Joe Philip, from Leighton Hospital in Crewe, said that parents might
need to take more precautions to keep their young sons out of A&E.

He called for more seats to be designed to fall slowly, and for heavier
seats to be banned from households with young boys.

He even suggested that the social norm of putting the seat down after
use be suspended and the seat fixed in an upright position.

He said: "As Christmas approaches many families will be visiting
relatives and friends and their recently toilet-trained toddlers will be
keen to show how grown up they are by going to the toilet on their own.

"It is important that parents check out the toilet seats in advance, not
to mention those in their own homes, and they should accompany their
children if necessary."

The four boys visiting the Crewe hospital, aged between two and four,
all needed to stay in hospital overnight, although fortunately no
lasting damage was done.

They had all lifted the toilet seats themselves, which had then fallen
back down onto their penises, the journal BJU International reported.

Increasing risk

Dr Philip said: "A recent market research report has suggested that
there has been a worldwide increase in the number of wooden and ceramic
toilet seats sold.

"We would not be surprised to hear that other colleagues have noticed an
increase in penis crush injuries as a result of this."

He said that parents should consider training their youngsters to hold
up the toilet seat with one hand.

A spokeswoman for RoSPA confirmed that the cases at Crewe were not
isolated examples.

Sheila Merrill, home safety manager for England, said: "The most recent
figures show there are an estimated 250 visits to A&E each year by boys
under the age of five involved in similar accidents.

"So perhaps it's advisable that parents with toddlers think twice about
having heavy toilet seats while their children are young.

"However, as with children of all ages, in all areas of the home,
supervision is always the most crucial aspect in preventing accidents."

Reminds me of the toilets at school - they mostly had bits of wood
attached directly to the bowl, and more often than not, whether of that
type of the more common plastic lifting type, had a gap at the front.

You can still get caught circumcised or not...

Don't these seats have 3/8 to 1/2" high bump rubbers so there should be a
gap between the under side of the seat and the bowl. Still get a nasty
whack and possibly grazing as the seat whizzed past.

Done that and it is a minor thing compared to the damage that can be done.

They quite often aren't quite tall enough, so they press themselves
right up to the bowl, standing on tiptoe. No matter how small it is,
it's still in the danger zone!

Although expensive, I would have thought the heavily damped ones (that
is damped as in motion, not... Oh no - it just gets worse. You *know
what I mean.) would be the best answer in many circumstances. Shame they
are so expensive.

And what they don't say is how bad the injuries really are. Is there any
permanent damage or just very unpleasant temporary?

Hadn't seen them that reasonably priced. I did notice one in a local

At that time, a quick look on-line showed high prices all round.

They do tend to perch said todger on the lip of the bowl.
Might be to do with some seats being precariously balanced at 91 degrees
owing to the thickness of embroidered seat covers and the like.

Isn't the real problem the modern design of close coupled toilet? There
used to be a time when seat and lid would tip well back beyond the
vertical, but many modern units seem to have a cistern that projects so far
forward that seat and lid are on the point of tipping forward anyway.

Bring back the old high level flush says I. Plenty of room for the lid to
tip right back, you had the added bonus of denting the down pipe, and the
water entered at a good clearing rate!

Funny that. I'm going for high level cisterns for exactly these reasons.
Also buys me another 5cm of space as the bog can go a little further back.

I do find most close coupled systems not very good and I'm sure it's got
worse with the reduction in flush volume.

I've yet to see a bump rubber in the central front area of a seat. Though
from other posts it appears they do exist.

Precarioulsy balanced upright seats due to poor design, fitting or fluffy
seat covers is probably the root cause of the problem but I doubt the
statistics include that level of detail.

As a student I lived in two houses where I had to add a "bloke hook" to
hold the seat up, and a mate lives in another (and has added his own
design of bloke hook). My own current house did have the same problem,
but that turned out to be due to the hinges having been fitted
back-to-front by the DIY idiot that did everything else.

In a slightly different guise, this danger forms a major part of one
of the greatest of English 'novels'.

In 'Tristram Shandy' (published starting 1759), the eponymous hero is
accidentally circumcised as a child, when after, being held up to a
window, the sash accidentally falls(*).

This is only one of the catastrophe that befalls him, in one of the

A film version of this 'impossible to film' novel was made as 'A Cock

Yebbut you're all assuming that Small Boys always approach the bowl
square-on - more often than not they don't. The loo is often in the
corner of the bathroom, and Little Johnny (who always waits until the
last possible second before tearing upstairs clutching his groin) dashes
in, and rushes over to the bowl which he reaches at approximately 45
degrees - ie, with todger directly beneath the falling arc of the buffer.
