Travel potty?

[AndyCohen]

Not looking forward to toting one around in her stroller

We just have a plastic one from target in the trunk. She usually gives enough notice that we can stop somewhere but we've used it in a pinch

I bought a potty ring that goes on a big toilet, it's foldable and goes in the diaper bag. We have never had to pull over on the side of the road for a pee yet.

But I thought about just picking up another Ikea toilet to keep in the car. That's what we have at home.

We don't use one at all because he will only use the insert seats. We took it with us on vacation and had it in the bathroom at our final location, but while traveling .... let's just say if a bathroom wasn't available the bushes along the highway in were watered frequently. On big potties he got a kick out of being held up and aimed at the potty. If he wanted to sit on a big potty, I just held his hands to balance him. He has not figured out how to poop on the potty, so I have no idea what we'll do for that.

We have a fold up potty insert. When we go on ling trips, we take the potty chair. She can generally hold it until a gas station now. But we have pulled over and used the potty seat on the side kf the raid.

We took this around with us this weekend www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CSAWJPE?cache=7efd85af58952986f56858d4a8b8a975&pi=SX200_QL40&qid=1409699492&sr=8-3#ref=mp_s_a_1_3

We didn't drive over 1.5 hours, but she never had to go on the road. We made sure she went right before we left and tried if we stopped for gas, coffee, etc. It worked out fine, but we have a big vehicle that she can sit in the back of.

We have a fold up seat for the diaper bag, but we also have a dollar store potty in the back of my car. We have used it a couple times and it has been great! I always have sanitizing wipes in the car, so I toss the pee in a bush and wipe out the potty. It is small and was literally $1, but it is perfect for the car!

This thread is scaring me.

On very rare occasions we've been more than 10 minutes from a potty, she's peed outside. She can balance on large toilets so I don't normally bring anything. I might consider taking a seat reducer ring on a car trip since it makes it easier for her.

We don't use anything. He gives enough notice for us to find a bathroom and he just sits backwards on big toilets. The only annoying thing about the backwards sit is that he insists that his pants/underwear come completely off.

L sits backwards too...except today he started doing this weird half sit, half squat thing....

Was it effective?  Does it keep his tush off the seat?  That could be cool.

We bought this pottete plus: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0016KV73W?pc_redir=1409137878&robot_redir=1#

It was a lifesaver for a few months. We keep it in the car now but rarely use it. She can hold it for a long time. When we were training, though, I used to cart that thing everywhere. I'd leave it set up, ready to go in case she needed to go. I highly recommend it.

William is very picky about toilets. He doesn't like using public ones and will hold his pee forever till we get home. I bought a folding seat but he won't even sit on it. I honestly brought his potty with me of we were gone for long but I don't do that anymore.

Well yeah, but this is his little potty that sits on the floor...I was guessing I could put him backwards on a big potty while in public since he normally sits backwards on his little potty.

I put William backwards on toilets for awhile and that worked well but it's annoying to have to undress them so much.

I know I'm in the minority, but I wish that L was still in diapers.  I'd rather not think too hard of what kind of clothes I put on her (thumbs up for dresses, the jury's still out on skinny jeans) and traveling is a bitch.  On a related note, I can direct to you a good number of public restrooms in NYC.

[lolaburns]

I'm hyperventilating thinking of hands on a public toilet seat. I might faint.

We've never needed one!  Except for camping where DS2 uses it for #2.

There are toilets everywhere guys!

Teach him to pee outside so he doesn't get stage fright if you pull off the road.

We have this: www.brendon.hu/Products/Details/38164

We had to pull over once to use it on the side of the road. The handles make it easy to do. She wouldn't go but that's a different story. This is easy to bring with us since it fits in a small mesh backpack we got when buying a coat. Mel likes wearing the potty backpack, too.

We have the Potette thing for the car/stroller. There has been some scandal in Northern Virginia lately over parents/nannies letting kids pee and poop outside on playgrounds (and not cleaning up after).
