Unfortunately, little kids can't hold it for long (although DD did manage almost 20 minutes this weekend on a roadtrip!), so when she has to go, there's no waiting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-in-public#post-201266 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 13:41:51 +0000 HabesBabe 201266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: My friends made it a game and put a Cheerio into the toilet... and had their son aim for the Cheerio. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-in-public#post-201258 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 13:31:15 +0000 Mrs. Bee 201258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: haha i never thought of that! charlie could pee into a bottle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-in-public#post-201250 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 13:20:01 +0000 SAHM0811 201250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: having two girls, I have no idea about the standing thing, but you just reminded me that my mom friends with boys say it's so easy to potty train boys in public. Like at the park, they say they just train them to just go pee in empty water bottles or styrofoam cups. haha. my eldest girl on the other hand is picky about where she pees! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-in-public#post-201223 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 12:51:48 +0000 Mrs. Bee 201223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we carry this portable potty:</p> <p><a href="http://amzn.to/uvpZU3" rel="nofollow">http://amzn.to/uvpZU3</a></p> <p>but when we don't have it, we hold charlie over the toilet and he goes. i just don't want to touch the public toilets.</p> <p>my big question is... how do we transition him to standing to pee?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-in-public#post-201222 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 12:50:12 +0000 SAHM0811 201222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>since my LO was potty trained from the start on the regular toilet with a potty topper, we didn't use those potties with the shopping bags. I was grateful for that! We got a foldable potty topper from Amazon by Primo. I just put that over a disposable seat cover or two. my LO was also pretty good in public about holding it til we got to a bathroom. I can't even ever remember her having an accident in public. She is so funny too because sometimes she just didn't like the bathroom, even if she had to go, so she'd actually hold it til we got home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-in-public#post-201192 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 12:23:02 +0000 autumnlove 201192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: yeah, signs said 15 mins away! poor kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-in-public#post-201183 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 12:17:26 +0000 chopsuey 201183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes. :P I guess the bathroom was far away? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-in-public#post-201179 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 12:15:18 +0000 autumnlove 201179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to the zoo this past weekend and I saw two different families during the day whip out baby potties in somewhat remote areas of the trails. Both of the kids were sitting on the potties (I think they were lined with plastic shopping bags) with their family members coaxing them to go.</p> <p>I not even close to potty training my LO but I want to know...is this something that you do too? I don't look forward to this stage! </p>
