Fully potty trained...except for when we're out.
DD caught on so fast with potty training. Never any accidents, only one accident over night, but she WILL NOT go to the bathroom at Walmart, restaurants, gas stations, etc. I even bring her potty seat with us when we go out. Last night we left Walmart, I got her buckled in and she said she had to go. We rushed back inside, and she said she didn't have to go, and she was scared. We get in the car after my many failed attempts to get her to go, and she peed right in her pants...
What do I do?!

This is what I was thinking about doing, but with all of the other toilets flushing she started to really freak out so we left. Lol I'll try that next time though, and I will just keep taking her to them to check them out. Thank you!
Thank you! I am extremely proud of her! The only problem is that she has an issue with the flushing too, and most bathrooms we go in have automatic flushing. I can't get her out fast enough because they usually flush when I'm buttoning my pants. Lol
oh wow that's kinda brilliant!

We have had the most success in restaurant bathrooms, or something a little less intimidating than Walmart. Also, if there is an automatic flush drape some tp in front of the sensor and it won't go off. GL, I wish we were doing as well as you are in the pt'ing dept:)
Such a good idea! thank you!
I didn't even think about covering it up. Dur. Thank you! I'm surprised she's doing so well, good luck to you and yours! I know I was quite the handful for my mom when it came to potty training. I'm surprised I'm not wearing diapers to this day from how she talks about it. Lol
DD PT at 26 months and did aweseome too but hated public bathrooms and their flushing. At home she wojldnt use the big toilet either for a few weeks. i bkught the Potette Plus 2 in 1 travel potty and it is awesome. initiallg i just kept it in the back of the car ready to go and if we were in the store we woukd run to the car and have her pee. She gradually (and much sooner than expected ) graduated to the big potty at home (with ring) and then pjblic RR with ring. She will now go on the big tojlet without a ring (but i have to hold her).
use sticky notes for the automatic flushers. it is simple and cheap and it works great. Someone on the bump had mentioned ear muffs for the noise but im not sure if it really blocks it well enough. It still freaks DD out but i just hug her tight and shes usually ok.
Sorry about the typos, im on my phone and autocorrect doesn't want to play mg games....
DD potty trained early too, around 20 months and we never worried about public restrooms bc she was early. When we were ready to start them, she was scared, scared of flushing, scared of the automatic dryers, and just loud noises in general. We had the porta potty that uses disposable diapers to collect whatever she passes. We would always go to the car and set her up in the Trunk of our suv. She eventually learned to hold it longer and I try to limit her liquids if I know we are going to be in a situation that req a potty break.
She is still scared of public restrooms 6 months later. Even if I take her in for me to use them, she gets so terrified.
