Diapering & Potty Training


Prince Lionheart has been manufacturing baby products in California since 1973. Michael and Kelly McConnell, brother/sister team at the helm of Prince Lionheart, proudly say, “Our product line was born out of our grandparents’ garage. We outgrew the garage years ago, but we still make every effort possible to produce products here at home, in our California manufacturing facility.”

While some of Prince Lionheart’s products are made overseas, Prince Lionheart stays true to its home turf and humble beginnings, even as competition in the juvenile industry continues to grow. “We continually strive to design products that can be manufactured in-house.Our goal is to produce more and more products in our Santa Maria, CA manufacturing facility. In order to reach these goals, we are constantly looking for clever ways to compete with the prices from overseas factories. It is also important that we make responsible choices when designing and selecting materials: using recycled material wherever possible, and building products that will span multiple years of use in a family’s home.”

With that said, Prince Lionheart’s latest innovation, the Modular Diaper Depot, is made of 100% recycled material and is built to last. A purchase made for the nursery today, can be used in other areas of the home tomorrow.

The Modular Diaper Depot (MDD) is a product for the nursery that makes organizing easy. Keep it on a flat surface, in a cabinet or hang it on your changing table. The MDD offers six different configurations so that you can customize it exactly for your changing needs. Use one station to fit a large assortment of diapers and baby toiletries, or take apart for multiple rooms in your home. Light, durable, easy to clean and carry — have everything you need at your fingertips!
