have you ever tried to take your potty training toddler on a road trip? it is an adventure that we have had lots of experience with. the worst is when you are not near a gas station or rest stop and your little one yells "mommy, i need to go poo poo!"
what you need:
•a travel potty (we love this baby bjorn one because the front end is raised)
• plastic garbage bags (any ones will do---we just grab a few from our costco sized roll before venturing out)
• antibacterial wipes (in case any gets onto anything it is not supposed to)
•hand sanitizer (will do for hand washing in a pinch)
directions (i am not sure that anyone really needs these.....but here they are):
•simply, pull the car over to a safe place.
•take out the potty and put the garbage bag over it.
•set the potty down on the ground, away from the road.
•after your child has gone potty, remove the plastic bag, tie it up and bring it to the nearest garbage can (no littering, people).
here is a photo of out "kit":
here is what the potty looks like ready to go with the garbage bag over it:
hope that this time-tested trick of ours works for you. let me know if you have any other helpful hints.
