Fire Brigade Called After Toddler Gets Head Stuck In Pink Toilet Seat

It’s happened to the best of us.

This poor toddler had to be rescued by firefighter after she got her head stuck in a pink toilet seat.

Kyla Smith was sitting on the special chair on Saturday night when the drama unfolded.

When mum, Teresa, 37, left the room for a second the two-year-old decided to fool about an put her head through the chair’s hole.

Quickly, however, she realised she was stuck and began to call for mum.

Teresa at first tried to free Kyla with washing up liquid, but it was no good.

She then tried NHS Direct and then 999 after she realised it was completely stuck.

Four firefighters rushed to their home in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, and used industrial scissors to free Kyla’s head in five minutes.

Mum-of-three Teresa said: “As she came up the stairs she was screaming ‘Mummy I’m stuck’.

"I didn’t know what else to do apart from smother it in washing up liquid.

"I felt ridiculous calling 999 as she wasn’t choking, there was plenty of room around her neck.

"Kyla was frightened that I couldn’t get it off. She started trying to hold it down so I couldn’t mess with it.

"I didn’t want to yank it myself but I didn’t want to shove her into a taxi to get to a fire station so I called 999 and within five minutes a crew was here.

"It was quite a sight, I’d never heard of something like this before.”

Firefighter Guy Volpe said: “Luckily the plastic seat was nice and soft so we managed to snip it off and had the incident sorted within five minutes.

"It’s not unusual for toddlers to get themselves trapped in things, but seeing the potty around Kyla’s neck was a first for most of us and an horrific sight for the mother.

"It highlights that mothers need to be vigilant when babies are using chairs and potties because with toddlers accidents can all too often happen.”
