DS 22 months finds it tricky to poo on a toilet - any tips for when we are out and about?

He is fine with weeing on a toilet, but he is a bit small to sit comfortably and poo, and so he doesn't want to. Any ideas?

nappy?

You can get a little folding seat that you can open out and put on the loo,but I just hold my dds in place! (the seat comes from jojomamonbebe I think)

I keep a potty in my car. Has been there for 2 years now - extremely useful!

Er,wait til he's a bit older?

He's a bit young, don't you think? I would just leave him for another 6 months or so and try again because if you force the issue it will create a negative cycle for him. As the saying goes: If you potty-train at 2, they'll be dry by 3, if you potty-train at 3 they'll be dry by 3.

My DS is 23mths old and very bright for his age but he is just not ready for potty-training yet and I would rather leave it as long as possible for the best chance of success.

Travel potty with disposable liners.

Or a folding toilet seat.

I think its a potette that is both a travel potty with disposable liners and also folds out to be a toilet seat too. I've got one.

I don't think 22 months is too young for some children, although by no means all. I know several who have been successfully trained around 22 months.

We had a potette,but the seat is just a seat that you put onto a normal loo,and it folds into four sections so that you can carry it about.I will try and find a link.also my dd was dry at 24 m,night and day,and has only once wet the bed in the year and a bit since then( that was with swine flu).she had very few accidents at all in fact.Some children are ready at nearly two,I do know a few others,and my brother and I were out of nappies well before two.

www.olivers-baby-care.co.uk/toodle-loo-folding-toilet-seat.html here is the seat I saw,you can get padded ones too,on ebay,but they might be more bulky in your bag than this one.

realised that my above post not v clear,I mean that the potette thing is a different thing to the thing I linked to above which folds.And now i need some sleep as my brain is packing up!

Thanks for the toodle-loo details! Have got one from JL.

To those that said nappy - I am not pushing him - being v laid back about it - but giving it a go for 3-4 weeks and then will review.
