We had both a ring for the toilet and a potty chair. DS actually preferred the ring with a little stool so he could climb on to the toilet unassisted. I ended up taking the potty chair to daycare for the first few weeks that he was trained (they asked for it), and he mostly used it there.

We have two rings (one for upstairs and one for downstairs) and never bought a potty seat. Never had any issues (and way less gross than cleaning the little potties). I'd probably get a portable potty for the playground or just make sure she goes right before you leave and don't stay too long.

We have one of each and so far she just sits on the little potty longer

We have a potty ring and a portable little potty and she just prefers to go on the regular potty seat now. For trips to the playground or what not, we just make sure she goes right before we leave

We've only ever used the ring. E had no interest in the chair. When we're out I help hold him on the toilet.

On the playground you can just have a girl pull her pants all the way down then sit right on the grass with her legs straight out. It helps sometimes to prop her feet up on a biggish stick.

I have a boy and we do have a seat that goes on top of the regular toilet, but I would imagine with a girl a seat reducer would be just fine... why would you want a portable seat anyway..?

With my boy he will not, in a million years, go #1 by a tree! There were multiple times we were stuck in a traffic jam our car was bearly moving and he would be screaming he needed to pee, I would turn into a small off road and said you can pee here by the bushes and he would cry and scream and demand to hold until he go home! HAHA. So if we were at a playground, we'd just run into a public bathroom? Believe it or not they are actually not that gross as I would have imagined before I had a child (I always avoided them myself until now). I think unless you are in the wilderness in Iceland, everywhere you go would somehow have some bathroom establishments. One thing we haven't yet braved are the porta-Johns. I went in with DS once and he just ran right back out (me too).

We used to have a portable / foldable potty seat, but it was bearly used. I believe we used it once or twice, and then we never used it. I just carry those sanitizer wipes and I wipe the seat really clean. I thought bringing a potty seat around is nastier than wiping it clean on the spot... because you have to fold that thing up and put it back into your purse. Eeek! Nowadays I don't even wipe the seat with sanitizer wipes .... I just use regular toilet paper to wipe the seat. Granted we only need to sit down for #2 though.

We bought the potty ring reducer for our house, but DS doesn't show any interest in going. I'm hoping to avoid using a separate potty, but if that's what it'll take to get him potty trained, then I will (ugh! lol).

We have seat that has a part that goes over the potty, so you can use it either way. D vastly prefers the separate potty seat.

We ordered both the potty seat and ring. When they arrived DS dragged the seat around sitting on it with pants on like a chair. Idk if he knew it was a potty. So I was like umm no I don't need him dragging pee around in that thing flipping it over and stuff. So we decided not to use it and only used the ring. And he did just fine with only the ring.
