Safety

Every child is at a naive and active age, and they will like to play in the bathroom when taking a bath, so the space safety of the bathroom is very important. Here are some of our suggestions for kid-friendly bathrooms:

  • Opt for non-slip tiles with a textured surface, which is essential to keep kids from falling in the bathroom.
  • Choose tubs and washbasins with soft, rounded edges to prevent bumps.
  • To prevent burns, a thermostatic mixer can be installed in the shower to monitor the temperature.
  • Place a stool in the bathroom to make it easy for the child to use the dresser and make sure they have access to the items on the dresser.
  • Use hooks instead of towel rails, which can be a hazard in bathrooms with kids.
  • Choose a thermostatic rotatable faucet to avoid the risk of burns and increase safety.
  • For public environments such as kindergartens, preschools, children hospitals, nursery schools or any other early age institutions, we recommend having separate bathrooms for children. And more importantly, provide child’s size bathroom fixtures such as toddler toilets, children wash basins, kid’s size urinals , etc.

Practicality

  • Choose a dressing table with a large storage space and clear space, so that children can easily access daily necessities.
  • Install a wash basin suitable for children and adults.
  • Install hooks on the back of the door to place towels, clothes, and other supplies, and keep other surfaces tidy.
  • If you have limited bathroom space, you can consider portable storage.

Cleanliness & Hygiene requirements

  • Most kids are naughty and playful and love to play around in the bathroom, so installing items that will minimize your cleaning time and keeping them away from the dust and bacteria is essential.
  • Install a wall mounted vanity and toilet kit that will make your cleaning easier.
  • It is recommended to choose a toilet suit with a smooth edge surface, few dead corners, and no dirt accumulation to reduce cleaning work.
  • The most important point, please choose waterproof paint and high-quality waterproof tiles specially designed for bathrooms, because the wet environment of toilets is prone to mold accumulation which can pose a threat to children’s health.
