Or we'd throw it in the bottom of the stroller. I'd put a liner or paper down on the seat before using it, and if I needed to I'd rinse it in the sink. At the time I was tempted to get a folding one but I never pulled the trigger on it. And he grew surprisingly fast. After a few months we were able to skip the seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-travel-potty-ring#post-2776879 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 09:37:39 +0000 looch 2776879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: anytime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-travel-potty-ring#post-2776878 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 09:34:58 +0000 lilyofthewest 2776878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: Here's to peer pressure!

I have a once-a-day to every-other-day pooper. It hasn’t happened yet that he has had to go in public. Well, he did on Saturday at the park but it was time to go home so he just held it till we got there. He’s also still not 100% committed to pooping on the potty yet. Lol. I’m hoping that peer pressure at school this year will encourage it!<br /> And yeah, those folding stools are awesome. I also have 3 - one in kitchen, my room and my sons room. Love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-travel-potty-ring#post-2776875 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 09:31:26 +0000 lilyofthewest 2776875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: No apologies needed!

Folding step stools are awesome though -- we have three and I recommend them heartily to anyone/everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-travel-potty-ring#post-2776873 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 09:27:29 +0000 looch 2776873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: I couldn't find a photo, sorry!</p> <p>Another solution is to have him straddle the toilet, you can use one of those paper covers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-travel-potty-ring#post-2776872 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 09:25:00 +0000 maddyz 2776872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: we used that one too. It's fine. At this point LO holds onto the sides of the big toilet. It's not the best.</p> <p>We used the Potette all the time not on a toilet with the bags. It's great for the park and other places I would rather not take LO into the bathroom. So far he doesn't mind hiding behind the stroller to do his business. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-travel-potty-ring#post-2776871 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 09:20:07 +0000 SweetiePie 2776871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: Yeah I think with boys they either have to stand or just really really tuck their penis down. I know you know this :-) Just agreeing that the “splash guards” really aren’t affective.<br /> Is he too short to stand right now? If so, maybe a folding step stool like this to keep in the car or bottom of stroller?<br /> <a href="https://m.bedbathandbeyond.com/m/product/kikkerland-reg-design-rhino-ii-folding-step-stool/3270869?skuId=43858101&#038;mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_baby_online&#038;product_id=43858101&#038;adtype=pla&#038;product_channel=online&#038;adpos=1o1&#038;creative=224283462376&#038;device=m&#038;matchtype=&#038;network=g&#038;gclid=EAIaIQobChMIx8K--JDS1gIVCmSGCh3BOAv3EAQYASABEgI3-vD_BwE" rel="nofollow">https://m.bedbathandbeyond.com/m/product/kikkerland-reg-design-rhino-ii-folding-step-stool/3270869?skuId=43858101&#038;mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_baby_online&#038;product_id=43858101&#038;adtype=pla&#038;product_channel=online&#038;adpos=1o1&#038;creative=224283462376&#038;device=m&#038;matchtype=&#038;network=g&#038;gclid=EAIaIQobChMIx8K--JDS1gIVCmSGCh3BOAv3EAQYASABEgI3-vD_BwE</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-travel-potty-ring#post-2776868 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 09:16:10 +0000 lilyofthewest 2776868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: T@SweetiePie: Thanks!

Soon his bum will be bigger and he'll be taller, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-travel-potty-ring#post-2776855 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 08:29:56 +0000 bushelandapeck 2776855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Potette and I agree with you that it's terrible. My kids would never sit on it so I ended up putting the Bjorn we no longer need in my car. I bring her back to the car if she needs to go potty while we are at a park, etc and then dump/clean it when we get home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-travel-potty-ring#post-2776853 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 08:25:51 +0000 lilyofthewest 2776853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Long story short: I need a rec for a relatively compact but stable and splash-free potty ring. We have one of the ultra-compact folding ones but don't like it; I'm hoping there's something a tad smaller than the seats we use at home. </p> <p>My kid uses the Ikea (<a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10272788/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10272788/</a>) and Ubbi (<a href="https://smile.amazon.com/Ubbi-Adjustable-Trainer-Handles-Included/dp/B010FJ9PWE/" rel="nofollow">https://smile.amazon.com/Ubbi-Adjustable-Trainer-Handles-Included/dp/B010FJ9PWE/</a>) ones at home and the Bjorn seat (<a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009PAN7Q/)at" rel="nofollow">https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009PAN7Q/)at</a> school. He's fine with all of them. </p> <p>We have the OXO folding seat (similar to the Potette) for the diaper bag and my kid and I hate it. It is less stable than ideal and the design angles him such that pee gets everywhere. I borrowed a friend's Potette and didn't find it to be any better. </p> <p>Our Ubbi seat isn't too bad to carry around, but, if there's something a little more compact, that'd make me a happy mama! </p>
