Potty training before holiday

Hear me out. I know this might seem like madness - we go on holiday on Sat - my 2.5 year old has been pooing on the toilet for the past 2 weeks and sometimes pees too (last thing at night and a few times during day). This morning she told me she doesn't want to wear a nappy anymore. Should we just go with this?!

Why would that be madness? Much easier to do on holiday when your aren’t working and hopefully sunny so they can run around without a nappy. We have a travel potty which is excellent. Handy to have in the car too both here and abroad!

Not mad idea at all, and I would definitely give it a go. She seems ready and willing which should hopefully make things a lot easier.

You're not going away until Saturday, so I would use the next few days as an opportunity to toilet train. If she isn't ready you can always go back to nappies.

Go with it

Get those foldable potty inserts off amazon and enjoy yor holiday

2 days might be all you need. You're already part of the way there, as she's been using the toilet for the last 2 weeks. You just need to remove the nappies and give it a go.

Yes try for the next two days, take away nappies now and see how she gets on. I’d take some nappies with anyway, particularly for the car and plane and also for night times.

I wouldn't. You'll need to put a nappy on her on the flight anyway and presuming a beach type holiday she'll be wearing swim nappies. She can't run around a pool without a nappy on.

Bitter experience of putting Dts in pull ups (when they were just pull ups not the nappy pants you get now) for a flight, getting seated on the runway and them both weeing through them as couldn't use the toilets.
