Poos in pants

Looking for some advice my son was 3 in march and has been potty trained for 3 months now. He never has any wee accidents and has aced that part of that however poos we are really struggling with every time he poos it's in pants he tells us either after it's happened or not at all but normally he will say once he's been. He's had odd few occasions he's done on toilet but not consistent. We keep asking him at intervals if he needs one etc or to let us know but he says he doesn't need or doesn't let us know. We are trying to put sticker reward chart in place but he doesn't seem to care. Even when pooing in pants he doesn't really care so not sure what else to do? Any tips or advice would be amazing please and thank you😊

Have you tried lining the potty with a nappy, rather than sitting him on the toilet? They don’t tend to like the sensation of it ‘falling away’

Or cut a hole in the nappy so he feels he's still wearing the nappy while sitting on the potty.
