Our 2 yr old (28 months) recently decided he would not wear diapers. After a few weeks, he is good (mostly) about telling us he needs the potty.
When in the car, we just put him in the back of the SUV on the little potty, rather than rushing to find a bathroom. (When he is older and better at the whole potty thing, we will find a bathroom.) Anyone else do that? |

| I kept one back there for dire emergencies. Let him use it twice. But not as a general practice, no. |

I've done that. We kept this in the car.

| We did that, too. We had a travel potty by Fischer Price. PPs, trust me, it's a lot more hygenic for your toddler to sit on his own potty then to try to help him (or her) use a public toilet. |

| No, we have never done that or had a need to do it - but I have a girl and I think it might be different. |

| Our 3-year-old freaks the f out in public restrooms with hand dryers (vs. paper towels). If that happens, Potette in the back of the vehicle it is. We just came back from the beach, and that thing was a life-saver! |

| We keep one I the car for absolute emergencies, but have only had to use it a few times (both times we were no where NEAR an actual toilet). DS is about 90% potty trained. My preference is to find an actual bathroom, but given a choice between a port a potty and the little one in the car, the little one it is! |

| No. I guess there are benefits to waiting until 3 to potty train. |

+1. And our car is not even an SUV. |

| DD was toilet-trained at 20 months and it never occurred to me that we would need one (and never did). We don't go on a lot of long car trips however and she's never been afraid of hand-dryers... I'm not sure how I would feel about a child pulling down their pants and taking a poop in the back of the family car... |

oh yes op! you don't have to get stuck in a jam on 95 south out of dc on a weekend too many times to learn to have some kind of potty system in the car!
if anyone acts horrified, then they have a boring sterile life! (we don't sit in the house forever just b/c dd or ds is in training.)

Yep we did that after DD potty trained. We kept a Fischer Price froggy potty in each car for emergencies. It came in handy couple of times.
