Sprout Kid Faucet

Touch-free, for kids 3 to 7. Screws onto the faucet you already have.

$109 $54.50 each, save $9

Under 3¢ a wash in the first year, at 6 washes a day.

Hands under, water on. Hands away, it stops. It screws onto the bathroom faucet you already have and brings the water 5 inches closer.

Sensor faucets are what national child-care standards prefer at children’s sinks.⁵

How it works

Hands under, the water runs. Hands away, it stops within a second. No run lasts more than 30 seconds; then it pauses until hands come away for 2 seconds. A wash is two short runs, wet and rinse, with the water off while they scrub.

What’s in the box

The Kid Faucet · faucet adapters · cache key · spare washers · USB-C cable · quick-start card. The soap buddy is a separate add-on, $10 a sink.

Will it fit?

It fits if your aerator screws off, the bowl is 16 cm (6.3") or more below the aerator, a point 12 cm (5") in front of the aerator is still over the bowl, and the outlet sits 7.5 cm (3") or more above the rim. Fits most US faucets with a screw-off aerator.

Not sure? Open the fit checker.

Install

Twist off the aerator. Screw on the base, hand-tight. Click the spout into place. Set the lever to warm. About 5 minutes. No plumber, nothing drilled.

Battery and charging

Rechargeable over USB-C. A charge lasts 3+ months at 8 washes a day, with about 2 hours to recharge. The ring blinks when it’s time.

Water temperature

Set and check the water temperature at your faucet. Sprout controls the flow, not the temperature. The ring turns red above 110°F as a warning; it does not cool the water. Keep your water heater at 120°F or below.⁵

Ages and use

Built for 3 to 7. Younger kids can use it with you beside them. Always stay close to young children at the sink.

The faucet you have was built for you. That’s the problem.

Here’s why we built a faucet their hands run, instead of one more way to reach the handle.

  1. 1

    Handle at the back of the sink, a lean too far for short arms

    Water 5 inches closer, at the front of the sink

  2. 2

    Needs a grown-up to turn it on, every wash

    Their hands turn it on

  3. 3

    Up to 16 turns a day, for the potty alone⁴

    Zero turns of the handle

1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6
  1. 4

    Left running while they scrub

    Stops when hands come away, and at 30 seconds

  2. 5

    A new temperature whenever someone moves the lever

    Kids control the flow without moving the lever

  3. 6

    Every dirty hand grabs the handle

    Nobody touches the faucet

Between the ages of 3 and 4, most children can wash their hands independently.

Built for small hands.

Built for their reach.

Every faucet in your house was built for a grown-up. The Kid Faucet screws on where your aerator was and brings the stream 5 inches toward them, so the water meets their hands at the front of the sink. There’s no handle to reach, because there isn’t one.

The light ring in its four states
G5: the four ring tiles

Built to stop.

Hands away, the water stops. Every run ends at 30 seconds, and a new one starts only after hands come away for 2 seconds. So the water’s off while they scrub, and a wash can’t turn into a running faucet. The cobalt ring tells you what’s happening from the doorway.

Everything in the box, laid flat
G8: the flat lay
kt-in-the-box.jpg

Built to stay put.

Set and check the temperature at your faucet; kids can control the flow without moving the lever. No app, no Wi-Fi, no batteries to buy: it charges over USB-C, with 3+ months per charge at 8 washes a day. Nothing is drilled, and when you move, your old aerator screws back on.

60-day hands-off guarantee

The hands-off guarantee

If they still need you at the sink, it goes back.

Give it 60 days. If your kid still needs you to run the water, send it back and we’ll refund every cent, return shipping included. One email. No questions.

Fit promiseIf it doesn’t fit your faucet, we’ll send the right adapter or refund you in full.

Pre-order promiseCancel any time before it ships for a full refund. If the ship date moves, we’ll email you, and you can cancel for a full refund.

Ask us anything. Seriously.

Answers to the questions parents ask most.

Will it fit my faucet?

If the tip of your faucet has a small mesh cap that unscrews, it should fit. The full check is four points: the aerator screws off, the bowl sits 16 cm (6.3") or more below it, a point 12 cm (5") in front of it is still over the bowl, and the outlet sits 7.5 cm (3") or more above the rim. Hidden caps come out with the key in the box. Pull-down sprayers, waterfall spouts and wall-mounted faucets won’t work.

Or tap Will it fit my faucet? and know in 30 seconds.

Does it work on a kitchen faucet?

If it has a screw-off aerator and passes the same four checks, yes. Pull-down and pull-out sprayers won’t work.

How long does it take to put on?

About 5 minutes. Twist off your aerator, screw on the base hand-tight, click the spout into place, set the lever to warm. No plumber, nothing drilled.

My kid already has a stool. Why do I need this?

Keep the stool. It gets them up. The Kid Faucet brings the water to them and turns it on for their hands. Together, that’s the whole wash.

Is it a faucet extender?

It does what an extender does: it brings the water 5 inches closer. Then it does the three things an extender can’t. It turns the water on for their hands, turns it off when they leave, and stops every run at 30 seconds.

Why $59 when an extender costs $10?

An extender moves the water. It doesn’t turn it on, turn it off or cap the run, so someone still works the handle every wash. A new touchless faucet costs $150 or more, plus a plumber, and the water may still be out of reach. At 6 washes a day, $59 comes to under 3¢ a wash in the first year.

Will it turn on by itself?

It reacts to hands right under the tip. Even if something did set it off, it can’t run longer than 30 seconds. No false starts in our home testing.

What stops them from playing with the water?

Every run stops at 30 seconds, and the ring turns amber. To start again, their hands have to come away for 2 seconds. Every new run is a choice, not a stream, and amber tells you from the doorway when a wash has turned into a game.

Can the water get too hot?

Yes. Sprout controls the flow, not the temperature. Set and check the water temperature at your faucet. Above 110°F, the ring turns red as a warning; it does not cool the water. We also suggest keeping your water heater at 120°F or below, the limit national child-care standards set.⁵

How long does a charge last?

3+ months at 8 washes a day. The ring blinks when it’s time. Charge it over USB-C in about 2 hours.

How do I know when to charge it?

The ring blinks when it’s time to charge. Recharge Sprout over USB-C; a full charge takes about 2 hours.

Can grown-ups use the sink normally?

Hands under works for anyone. For longer jobs, like filling the basin, the parent button on the back gives 2 minutes of running water. It hangs 1.9 inches below your faucet, so there’s still room for grown-up hands.

What ages is it for?

3 to 7: old enough to wash alone, too short to reach the handle. Younger kids can use it with you right beside them.

Won’t they outgrow it?

Yes, and that’s the point. It covers the years between “I can wash” and “I can reach”: about 3 to 7. At 6 washes a day, that’s more than 8,000 washes you don’t have to run. After that, it unscrews in a minute and your old aerator goes back on. Or you could wait until they’re taller: that’s 3 more years of being called to the sink.

Shouldn’t they learn to use the real handle?

They will, when their arms get there. What they can learn at 3 is the wash itself: wet, soap, scrub, rinse, dry. The Kid Faucet lets them practice all of it every day, years before they can reach the lever.

Do I still need to watch them?

Yes. It’s a faucet, not a babysitter. Stay close to little ones at the sink, as you would anyway.

Does it work for brushing teeth?

Yes. Wet the brush, hands away, and the water stops while they brush. Hands under to rinse.

Do hands touch the faucet at all?

No. Hands under, hands away. Nobody touches the faucet, before the wash or after it.

We rent. Is that a problem?

No. Nothing is drilled or replaced. Keep your old aerator in a drawer and screw it back on when you move.

Is there an app or a subscription?

No app, no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, no subscription. One payment.

What colors does it come in?

Cloud White, with a cobalt ring.

Will it leak?

It seals with a rubber washer, the same way your aerator does, and there are spares in the box.

Will it change my water pressure?

It flows at 1.2 gallons a minute, in a soft aerated stream. That’s what most newer bathroom faucets flow. On an older, faster faucet, the stream will feel a little gentler. It works on home water pressure from 20 psi up.

Is it lead-free?

Yes. Certified lead-free to NSF/ANSI 372.

Does it save water?

It stops the water while they scrub. For example, leaving a faucet running for 45 seconds at 1.5 gallons a minute uses about 1.1 gallons. Two 10-second runs with Sprout at 1.2 gallons a minute use about 0.4 gallons. Actual water use depends on how long each wash takes.

How do I clean it?

Wipe it with a damp cloth. The screen in the tip twists out for a rinse.

When does it ship?

Ships in December. You can cancel any time before it ships for a full refund. If the shipping date changes, we’ll email you, and you can cancel for a full refund.

What if it doesn’t work for us?

Give it 60 days. If your kid still needs you at the sink, send it back for a full refund.

Is there a warranty?

Yes: 1 year against defects. If it stops working, we’ll repair or replace it.
