Tragically a large number of toddler drownings occur around the home, pools are an obvious risk but approximatly 8% of toddler drownings occur in buckets.The traditional bucket safety solution is labeling, warning of the danger – unfortunately this does not make the bucket any safer it merely alerts those who bother to read any labeling of the danger and toddlers generally can’t read…….. in any language.
The Safety Bucket concept invented by Edward Leonard of AusBub and designed by neo industrial design incorporates a fixed handle and more rigid rim than a conventional bucket that reduces the normal bucket opening to less than the Australia Standard for resisting insertion of a child’s head.
