Potty training and going out
Hi
Have started potty training my lo who is 3 in August, I waited for her to show interest and things are starting to click now.
I am using pull ups which seem to be working for us but just wondered what everyone does when they are out.
Do you take a potty with you? and where would you use it? would you use it when in a shop for instance?
I asked in a shoe shop if my lo could use the toilet as she told me she needed it but they said no and I wondered how they would feel if I had a potty with me and let her use it there.

here is one.
I keep one potty in the car and take it everywhere, his nana also has a potty and we have several at home. I don't take it to nursery as he's more than happy to use theirs.
If I offend people when i'm out then tuff!!! He will not use an adult toilet so I can't take him into public toilets. Obviously if there is a toilet near by then I would go in and use his potty in the toilets but if there isn't there his potty is used whereever he needs to go!! It won't be forever but I think people have to understand that its hard training lo's and at this age they can't always hold it until they get to a toilet!!
Me and some friends went a kids fun park the other day and we are all in the process of potty training and it was like a potty station with 6 potties lined up in a row for the kids to go when they wanted!!!
Thanks for the replys. I have bought a potette travel potty and am pleased with it, lo is yet to use it but it is peace of mind and saves the mad dash to find a loo.
Also I lend it to my ex as he takes lo to soft play and they have no toddler toilet or potty in the changing room or mens (which he says is filthy anyway), they told him to use the ladies but obviously he is not comfortable with that so I lent him the potty and he can then go in the changing room with it.
I think that it has not been well thought through as a lot of men take their kids there and will have the same problem, it is a fairly new place aswell.
We have just had another sticker on the chart, yippee!!
Not doing too well as she gets very involved in wahtever she is doing and forgets to ask.
DD just suddenly got it, unfortunately she has diarrhoea so poo is not doing well but no fault of hers and she is trying.
