what is the best travel potty?

[mad4mybaby]

I have seen a few but want to know the best sort to keep in the car.

I have a potette from mothercare which is perfect for us. I leave it in the car and if DD needs the loo when we are driving I just pull over and pop her on it on the front passenger seat.

Although the bags are a bit pricy you can make your own using cheap nappy sacks and kitchen towel folded up.

I do not like the plastic bag on the Potette. It reminds me of doggy doo bags. Could do with being a little more colourful. However, it does work though a little tricky to get the bag over the hooks. Have to agree with Redfraggle - dont buy replacement bags use cheeper nappysacks.
Also look at Poteez. Same price as the Potette but you get 5 completely disposable potties and they look really good, easy to use, and you can just bin the whole thing rather than have to carry it home again. There is also an inflatable potty which also uses bags but I would think you would have to carry it ready inflated or get caught out. There is also the Travel John for when they are a little older - not exactly a potty though.
There is also the Pottyflip - it is like the Poteez but ugly and uses a plastic bag liner like the Potette - does not look very good.

Recommendation - Potette if it is to be used more than 5 times a month. Poteez if less.

Can you tell Ive researched this a bit??

i always figured that if you can pull over to stop, the child can do it on the verge, surely?

Its convenience really. Sometimes its cold and wet, sometimes you are stuck in a trafic jam - there are many reasons for having a travel potty as part of your emergency kit. You cant always guarantee you will be able to pull over and even if you can, I think it is quite embarrassing, almost like it is me having to go by the side of the road. (or is it me that only feels like this)

One of the wost moments Ive experienced was pulling over to allow my DD to have a wee and having everyone staring at us even though we did try and hide behind the car. Very uncomfortable. Maybe diffrent with boys.

Car sickness is also a big one. That is why we had to get one - our DD has a reflux. A travel potty has been worth its weight in gold and it has saved us having to clean the car all the time.

true for car sickness, but i couldn't care less about dd being seen doing a wee. it's what they do.

We had a fab travel potty made by anywayup. It was bigger than the one with the disposable bags but was non spill. The liquid went into a base section. Was also very good if kids were travel sick when they were older.

Unfortunately our was destroyed in a car crash last year (I had had it over 10 years!). If anyone know where I can get a replacement, please let me know!
