DD is 2.5, a few weeks ago we attempted and had a few accidents b it a few successes, she then became anxious so stopped. Started again today and it’s going really well, no accidents all day, planning on staying home a few days and hope this continues until we go out, once we start to go out what do you do in the car, pull ups with knickers under? And what do I do about nights? She does wake with a wet nappy in the morning, online advice says to wait until nappies are dry in the morning, is this accurate?

Yep wait for nights. But for day time, no nappies ever again. When you first start going out have her in loose joggers and no knickers or it feels too much like a nappy. We before leaving and on arrival. Cut up disposable incontinence bed sheets (like puppy pads) to line the car seat. But no nappies in the day. Just a "night time nappy". You may find that nights very quickly become dry too.

And get a carry potty and be prepared to get it out absolutely anywhere in the early days.
