[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The travel-potty-haters are so suburban!  Don’t you guys ever take your little kids out hiking or biking on the beach?  What about museums and art galleries where you can set the travel potty on the bathroom floor and not have your kid on a public toilet seat?

Do you haters ever go camping?  If so, where to you relieve yourself?!

DH and his sister grew up in South Africa and would spend days camping and tracking with herds of elephants or other animals.  Peeing on trees and digging a hole to defecate was a common occurrence.  Adults and kids alike.  I wanted to raise our kids with his sense of adventure but not pee or poop on land - so we use a travel potty for all of us when camping and always have the little travel potty for our toddler when we spend the day at a park or beach,

I have to laugh at the suburban parents who are so aghast on this thread!  [/quote]

Gosh I don't know, but we managed to survive without ever thinking we should have our own portable toilet. We use public bathroom, gas stations, if we are out there in nature they just pee behind a tree. We usually spend the night somewhere where there is some kind of toilet available, you know, like most people do. So they just go then. I don't see what being suburban has to do with it. Is going to the art gallery with the portable potty really that adventurous? I think it's actually more of a snobby DC mom thing not wanting their kid to use a public bathroom. They would much rather set up the portable potty in the trunk of their SUV. So adventurous.[/quote]

Wait!  So peeing under a tree where someone may come and sit in a few minutes is okay but using a hygienic travel potty where the tree and grass stay pristine isn’t okay?!  How does that begin to make sense? [/quote]

Do you all pretend not to have any common sense? Of course I'm not making my kids pee under a tree where people sit. I'm making them go somewhere that's not easily accessible, into the bushes or something. [/quote]

Where is your common sense?!  How is peeing on foliage in a public park better than peeing in a travel potty? [/quote]
