Yep. DS was about 20 months and we went camping. He copied DH and my teenage brother peeing in the woods and tried it. There was no going back. He potty trained easily and quickly after that. To my knowledge he’s never purposely peed sitting down.

So you pick up the kid, hold his feet between your legs, tilt him so he's at about a 30 degree angle, and aim him at the bowl.

The handicapped urinals typically are not too high, but kids do differ in height.

Many of us here are female though. I wasn't in the position of problem solving my newly trained boys and urinals. If we were out with Dad, then maybe he did. To be honest I don't know what he did, but if they were out with just me we were in the ladies room.

I can say that for me, one thing I really liked about having boys is that I didn't need to worry about them sitting on the public toilet, and touching it with their hands, especially because I had a thumb sucker. I could totally imagine him using him using his hands to adjust his spot on a seat, and then sticking his thumb in his mouth on the way to the sink. So, he was standing to pee in public from the beginning, but he's tall and trained at 3, so I didn't need to do the 30 degree thing. (I'm not the PP here, I'm the "turn around" poster above)

My bathrooms are clean, toilet seat is always down, and there is no dribble mess on the floor. They eventually learned how to pee standing up when they were a bit older, but they only do this outside the home. Could you get your husband to model sitting down to pee?

+100. Why would you want standing to be the default? We are a sitting down household, standing up is for urinals which aren't accessible to a kid anyway.

Is your husband’s name “Milquetoast?”

You obviously don’t have the requisite equipment.

This is for the father to handle.

You could do that, or you could just have him pee sitting down.
