A two-year-old girl has been left traumatised after getting her head stuck in a toilet training seat.
Melissa Askew, from Birmingham, claims it took more than half an hour to get the seat off daughter Tayla Bate’s head after the toddler became stuck inside it.
The 31-year-old alleges Tayla was left distraught and suffered grazes when the Aldi training seat got stuck as she put it on her head while playing with it.
And after numerous unsuccessful attempts to pull the seat off, Tayla’s dad Niki Bate, 35, was forced to saw the plastic structure off his daughter’s head.
Mum-of-two Melissa, who also has a five-year-old son, Reece Bate, said: “Tayla’s a little clown and she’s always making us laugh so when I first saw it on her head I wasn’t worried - I knew she was just playing.
“When I started to pull it off I noticed how tight it actually was and that it wouldn’t move past her ears, which it was grazing.
“She was so scared and was crying uncontrollably when she noticed we couldn’t move it - it really traumatised her.
“We had no option but to saw it off. It was awful and I was just trying to distract her the whole time by showing her videos on my phone. It was horrible.”
