How do I pee in this situation?

I'm going on my first 'long' drive solo with my children (2.5 and 4.5) soon. I'm a relatively new driver, and its a 3.5-4hr drive, setting off early evening. The hope is that the children fall asleep on the way (amd stay asleep).

Obviously I'm going to need to stop off for at least 1 break, and will inevitably need to wee at some stage. I can't leave them in the car whilst I go to the services, and I really don't want to wake 2 dozy children/carry two kids in.

How do I pee?

Am I going to literally have to wee in a potty in a deserted part of the car park? 😳🤢

Am i missing a trick here?

Petrol station not major services. Refuel so you’re parked under the lights at the front. Just shove a fivers worth in if you don’t need it. Or if they have parking spaces in front of the window just park in there.

Lock doors nip to the loo in the petrol station, come back. You’ll be leaving them unsupervised for less time than you do when you have a shower at home.

@sillysmiles but more risk of peeing on your shoes. I've tried various permutations on this theme believe me. I find Costco paper cups fit over my fandango perfectly.
