Car journeys - help please!

[kellybean18]

My 2 year old is pretty much completely toilet trained during the day (nappy for night time/naps) and only tends to have accidents in the car. We live in quite a rural place so although she is good at saying when she needs a wee, it just isn’t always possible to pull over in time.

My question is does anyone have any tips specifically for this? Could we use pull ups just for car journeys? Anyone done this and does it help or just create confusion?

Thanks

We weren’t as brave as you and used pull ups in the car. Usually we would be out for a few hours and I wasn’t sure whether we could find a toilet if she needed one. DD seem fine and knows the difference. Be interested to hear if anyone has any tips as DD will need to stop wearing a nappy in the car at some point.

@Lonoxo yeah she’s fine in public (coffee shops, the beach etc) she just tells us and we take her. It’s literally just in the car seat, and I feel sorry for her because she’s doing the right thing and then even if we change her knickers we have the issue of a wet seat. I feel like it might just click with age like night times. But would love to know if anyone managed to address it as an actual issue x

So we have a 'special towel' that she sits on in the car and she knows not to do a wee wee on the special towel. We started off on the towel, with her nappy and her knickers over so she felt like she was still wearing them we've cracked car journeys. We just seem to have regressed with her telling us when she needs the potty at home! Good luck

We would take a potty and put it in the front footwell of the car for emergencies. A wee gets chucked, a poo was picked up in a nappy bag and disposed of when convenient.
