Abstract: A potty comprises a base container, having a floor and a side wall extending upwardly from the floor, a removable seat having a rim which is supported on and sealed against the side wall of the base container and a recessed portion which extends partially into the base container, and a removable lid to cover at least the recessed portion of the seat. The recessed portion of the seat is formed with at least one aperture through which liquid may escape into the base container. The potty thus provides improved containment for liquid excreta by reducing the likelihood of spillage.
