Mum had to keep tipping daughter to get rainwater out of toilet seat on her head

A mum has told how she had to keep tipping her daughter to one side to get rainwater out of a toilet seat that was wrapped around the three-year-old's neck while she carried her through a storm to A&E. Amy Sanderson and daughter Ivy-Anne Bingham had to go to hospital to get a bright pink seat off the toddler's head after she went to the bathroom to use the toilet while Amy was in the kitchen making dinner.

Amy told PlymouthLive: "My initial reaction when I saw her with the toilet seat on her head was 'that's alright, I will get it back off' but after assessing it I realised whatever way I put it, it was not coming off. I tried to get it off and just couldn't. It was catching on her ears, on her chin, so then I thought 'I'm going to have to take her hospital.'"

She added: "It was funny because I had to park in the multi-story car park ... and had to carry her all the way to A&E with the toilet seat around her head. It was raining and the toilet seat was upside down and the rain was catching, so I had to keep tipping her to the side to drain the water out.
