Do I potty training before moving house soon?

My DS is 2.9 years old and I think he’s been showing signs of readiness for a while. He always hides when he goes for a poo, often tells me when he’s done a poo and sometimes when he’s done a wee. When naked before bath, he’s started to wee a couple of times and been able to hold it until we’ve grabbed the potty and then he finished going in the potty. But we’re due to move house in around a month. Do I start ASAP and do it before we move or should I wait until after? Just conscious it could take a while to settle in so could end up being 3 before we even start. Wish I’d started sooner but stress of house move has made it tricky.

What would you do?

I would do it now. You don’t want to miss the window when it’s essier.

I don't really understand why you haven't tried already given the signs he's showing. He will either get it really quickly or be clearly not ready in which case you delay and try again later. Yes do it now once he's got the hang of it moving will make little difference.
