BACKGROUND: Even among households that have access to improved sanitation, children's faeces often do not end up in a latrine, the international criterion for safe disposal of child faeces. METHODS: We collected data on possible determinants of safe child faeces disposal in a cross-sectional study of 851 children 5 y of age using the latrine for defecation and mobility of children <5 y of age in the household. CONCLUSIONS: Few households reported disposing of all of their children's faeces in a latrine. Improving latrine access and specific behaviour change interventions may improve this practice.
