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?


Never.

Wow it’s funny that this was so taboo ten years ago. We have a travel potty convertible seat in the diaper bag. We use it pretty much daily. Many public parks don’t have bathrooms, and public toilets are gross. You put a bag over the potty so no need to clean it in public. Just bag and throw away at home. People who are so weird about this must never go anywhere or most only have boys who don’t need to sit down (although I think boys peeing all over things is nasty).

100% because I'm not going to hold my toddler over a piss and feces-splashed porta-potty.

Thank you so much for reviving a ten year old thread to share this wisdom!

Yep we did this for both kids and I prefer it. Much better than gross bathrooms. And always available when needed. I wish I could use it!

Ours was a travel potty that folded up and had plastic bags that could be disposed of.

We have this one:

I just empty the urine or feces into a big toilet once we've found a restroom or upon returning home, then wash with soap and water, and put it back in the car. No big deal.


Please tell me you're not washing the potty out in public sinks. Please!

Nothing happened to it. Why do you ask?


Because obviously once a kid is potty trained, they can hold it for hours and hours. No one ever had an accident because they couldn't get to a potty in time.

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!!!


I'm still stuck on the idea that if you are a small child, and your parents prepare for the possibility that you will have a must-pee-NOW/must-poop-NOW emergency (which many small children do have), you will grow up to the MOST ENTITLED generation in history.

Someone was trolling last night and +1ing themselves about the horrors of a rare pee and poo in someone else's private car. This is seriously not a big deal. 99.9% of 8 year olds are not still doing this-- we're talking about 1-2-3-4 year olds, very occasionally, during early potty training, if not exclusively for emergencies.

Yes, genius-- it's called reading comprehension.

Not everyone on this thread uses a Potette, but for those that do:

http://www.amazon.com/Kalencom-Potette-Plus-Liners-30/dp/B004X8GJPA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1405335002&sr=8-2&keywords=potette

THERE IS NO BUCKET OF PISS AND SHIT. IT'S KIND OF LIKE PEEING OR POOPING ON A DISPOSABLE DIAPER, WHICH YOU THEN THROW AWAY.

Anyway, most of what we are talking about is pee, okay? So I am more-or-less throwing out a peed-on diaper. Big freaking deal.

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?


2 year olds don't get to "refuse" anything. However, a parent who thinks it's okay to shit in random containers would never understand that.


No, but it makes her upset, and why backslide? If she prefers underpants and going in the potty, who cares? I don't care if she's "fully" toilet trained, she's two. I'm doing what's most convenient for us as a family. I like her going on the little potty much more than changing diapers. Of course we put her on the potty before we go out, and of course she can hold it for most short trips. Personally, I would prefer to carry around the seat that goes on regular toilets, but DH thinks that's completely gross for whatever reason.

And again, how is pooping in a baby potty more gross than changing diapers on the three year old? Honestly, when I see people changing diapers for 3 year olds, I feel sorry for them and for the kid. They're way too old for that. It's gross.


Amen! Sorry I have a 16-month-old who can "hold it" for quite a long time (at *4 months* she could hold it up to 20 minutes while we found a restroom), BUT I sometimes get stuck on 340 in bumf-- nowhere behind an accident for an hour+ and OH NOES she goes in a potty in my car instead of a diaper. I wouldn't say it's "gross" to see people change 3-year-olds' poopy diapers (I understand why they essentially have to), but I[i] sure as heck wouldn't do that for an extra 2 years just so I could prevent my kid from peeing (mostly peeing) in a portable potty in my own car maybe once a month!

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


This was fucking hilarious, thank you!
