We've been doing part time, super low key elimination communication, and my 15 month old has decided it's time to ditch diapers. (I know! Don't hate me. We followed the same process with my son and he wasn't at this point until 20 months!) She's gone 4 days w/o any accidents at home. In fact, she hasn't had any since we started going full time diaper free on Monday. We haven't ventured out yet, but she is doing great! The problem: we're flying in 2 weeks for a 4 day trip. (If I had my way, we would've done this after, but this has entirely been her call.) Any advice for traveling with a 15 month old newly potty trained kiddo? Anyone else crazy enough to have done this before?

we used pull-ups as a backup during the newly potty trained stage for long car trips. No big deal and only for a short time until we got to our destination.

@autumnlove: +1 but my dd potty trained at 2.5!

My DD also potty trained at 15 months. We kept her in pull ups when we went out until *we* were comfortable that she wouldn't have any accidents while we were out. She never did. Keep your potty routine similar and take her potty often. Don't sweat it if you feel like you need to put her in a pull up for your own peace of mind.

The only thing I would add is to bring a chux pad to put on the seat, in case for example, the seat belt light is on and you really can't get up while flying.
Also, have you seen those underwear that have PUL sandwiched between two layers of fabric? We used them as first underwear and they were great.
-
@looch: we don't have those and I haven't seen them? Can you link to an example? Those sound great!

You can also put underwear on under the pull up. That way she will still feel the wetness if she has an accident but it will be contained.

@red_seattle: Best I could find were these, the brand we used was One Step Ahead, ordered direct from their site, but who knows who owns them now. You're basically looking for a training pant that has PUL sandwiched between 2 layers of fabric.

@red_seattle: Yay! We did the same with low key EC at an early age and a flight around 16 months. I can't remember what we did! I think we just put her in a diaper since the flight was 10+ hours. But we followed the regular potty routine so we were not dependent on the diaper. It was just back up. LO had been going to the potty for some time before that though.
