> washing the bottom

What about washing all the other places where baby's poop can get? (Legs, feet, hands, arms with some difficulty, all the way up the back, etc)

Showerhead can still do that.

You can pretty much put water everywhere on a human body, as long as you make sure that they can still breath.

Legs and arms and the back etc are fairly trivial to clean with a showerhead. Skinfolds are where I would expect problems.

Btw, your system doesn't need to handle all corner cases of cleaning to be useful. It needs to not hurt anyone (in all cases); handle most common cases of cleaning; and ideally alert you when it can't clean some spots.

But even a system that can't alert you is still useful for a parent, because the parent can still look over the child afterwards.

do you have any idea how many folds a baby has, and how much poop they can hide in them?
I have a daughter and never had much trouble getting the poop off her.

But perhaps sons are worse?
