About The Happy Penguin

At The Happy Penguin, we create innovative products and find smart solutions for the everyday challenges of parenting. We believe that the best ideas often come from real-life experiences and often ask ourselves “How can we make this better?” Through thoughtful, practical design, our goal is to create products that make life a little simpler.

Our First Product: Potty Partner™

Like just about every parent, our founder, Ruthie, faced the challenges of potty training. As she navigated the process, she realized there had to be something else. A lifelong problem-solver and inventor, she decided to turn the idea into reality.

From her very first prototype, made with a toilet paper roll tube and gear ties, she knew she was onto something. That simple idea evolved into the Potty Partner™, an adjustable potty-trainer designed to make the experience easier and more comfortable for children of all shapes and sizes—and less stressful for parents.

We’re passionate about making products like this that can help children build confidence and independence while giving parents an approach they can feel good about.

Potty Partner™ is just the beginning. We are already thinking about what’s next.
