Wee/poo on the go

[Rani123]

So my LO is 2yrs 4mths and toilet training has gone really well. A few weeks in now. He gets excited about making sure we have his travel potty when we leave the house, insistent that he carries it.

We've only had to use the potty once whilst out in a restaurant, his treat for doing so well (he asked to go to this specific restaurant).

My question is do you walk around the supermarket or other shops e.g furniture shop etc with the potty and where do you actually go when he says he needs a wee/poo. I know places like the supermarkets have toilets so could leave trolley and go there but what about places that don't. Surely you don't just stop in a random corner so they can go.

He's not too bad at trying to hold his wee a little bit bit poos are another story, not that confident on doing poos in toilet yet and we end up going 3/4 times before he goes. Not had to go on a potty yet.

Any advice please

Public toilet elsewhere or in the back of the car if you've got it with you. Not in the shop though although you could ask to use staff loos but they'll probably say no as the back of shops are not really safe for young people.

We had a travel potty that was a seat that you fitted a special plastic bag with a pad to. Outside, say in a park, my son would use it as a travel potty with the bag fitted, indoors we'd go to a public toilet and use the seat to make the toilet seat smaller, but without the bag. Obviously indoors, you can't just sit them on the potty wherever you are, because you wouldn't want your child bottomless in public and no-one would want to smell it in a store or eatery. I also used pull ups for places where using the loo fast would be impossible - like on a bus. It may have slowed him down a bit with training, but you wouldn't want a child leaking poo on a bus seat.
