Yep, I kept a potty in the car for emergencies but never used it. My sister-in-law kept one and used it a number of times for her kids and friend's kids; she used plastic bags as inserts and she (or the other parent) would toss it - not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Not all parks have bathrooms (those that do are typically gross anyway) and some kids have urgent needs.

The subject of this thread is batshit. Toilet-training means training your child to use a toilet - which involves training them to void their bladders before they leave they house whether they think they have to "go" or not and learning to use public restrooms. It does not mean following your child around with a plastic bucket for their convenience.

PP was right - this will be the most entitled generation in history.

You might think we're trolling this board, but anyone who follows their toddler around with a poop bucket that folds up like a suitcase is trolling in life.


Well bless your heart.

Just met up with a friend who does that. I was asking for tips.

I was walking down my street to my house last summer when a woman pulled over as if to park, jumped out and pulled her kid out as well. Set a potty down on the parking strip and sat the kid on it. I was horrified. So gross.

We kept one in each car (1 SUV and 1 van) for a few years around having 2 DDs go through potty training. You carry wipes and cleaner and bags. The pee you dump when you can. The poop in a bag and clean and put all that in another bag and dispose ASAP. Yes, gross I know. We only used for emergencies.
And carry hand sanitizer and change of cloths but I figure everyone does that anyway.

So do you pause the DVD player while the kid craps in the car, or do they just keep on watching?

This is going to be the MOST ENTITLED generation in history - their parents carry around their toilets for them. No need to make yourself go before you leave home or use a public restroom because Mommy is walking right behind you with a potty for your royal excrement!!!

Like in their diaper? Or in their pants?

W/E

We do EC, so yeah, we have done this if needed. We use the Potette, so we just toss the insert (which is a plastic bag with an absorbent liner). Who cares?



Are those your only options - either wear a diaper, poop/pee their pants or carry around their toilet with you? Seriously, do none of you parents PLAN your excursions in advance and train your kids to push themselves to go before they leave the house or when you're at a bathroom?

My parents never needed a "potette" for me or my brothers. I never needed a "potette" for my boys. I've never had a friend or sibling who needed a "potette" for their children!


Must be a new thing. My four are grown and away at college. We never had a little plastic toilet in the car. And all were reliably potty trained well before they turned three. I know this because back then no preschool program would allow kids into the three year old classroom until the child was completely potty trained. Things have really changed in the last 20 years. I'm not sure which way is "right", but I am always surprised when I see a three year old in diapers.

We just made sure everyone went potty before leaving the house.

She almost never goes poop outside the house, and if she did, we would dispose of it in a toilet. It is a small price to pay for not dealing with diapers anymore. She is totally potty trained and refuses to wear diapers or training pants so what are we supposed to do? And how is pooping in the car somehow more gross than popping in a diaper anyway?



I always brought the toilet insert with me when we traveled anywhere - like the one we used at home. DD never had a problem using the toilet in the ladies room and she trained at 22 months completely. We just never saw the need to carry her own personal toilet with us - if you plan your excursions and remind your child to go before you leave/when you stop. I cannot imagine having any situation arise where I would need to bring a little potty everywhere we went with my daughter.
