Potty train before holiday?

[Liloh]

First time mum to a toddler and feeling a bit clueless so would appreciate some advice

DD is 2 yrs 4 months. She has been showing some signs of being ready for potty training for a while. End of last year we bought a potty and placed in the front room for her to get used to. We explained what it was, read books about potty training and let her have her nappy off, explaining that she should use it when she needs to wee or poo. She sat on it a couple of times for a wee but also had as many accidents on the floor. We didn't actively try to potty train her and persevere as we decided to go and stay with family for Christmas and thought it wasn't the right time.

We are now thinking about retrying properly but have a holiday coming up end of March which involves a long haul flight (12+). Do you think we have enough time for her to get used to using the toilet with minimal accidents? I'm thinking travelling will be a lot easier if she is still in nappies. I'm not in any rush to train her and don't mind waiting until we get back from holiday but have read that the longer it's left the harder the process is.

Any advice welcome

Another voice saying crack on with it! Both mine were trained before 2 and knowing their attitudes I know it would've been harder later. 2 months is plenty of time to get it and putting a pull up on for the flight shouldn't undo any work, assuming they'll still have one at night time at that point just explain it like that. Oh Crap book is good, do take bits with a pinch of salt but it'll get your head in the right place. You can do it, your child can do it, go go go!

I potty trained my 1 yr 10 month old before a holiday, she showed signs and we thought we'd give it a go.

It was completely worth it. She wore a "big girl pull up pant" whilst travelling and was determined not to pee on it. No accidents and made the actual holiday way easier.
