Those with PT'd kids

What do you use as a potty seat (if you do) at public restrooms? At what point was your child able to just sit on the regular seat?

DD is pretty much day trained now (woohoo!) Well, we're a week in, in regular undies, with minimal accidents now (none for the past couple of days), and she tells us when she has to go, so we're well on our way at least! However, since we started PTing, the only place she's been is daycare, and a birthday party (where she wore a Pull-up, which she did not keep dry).

I am taking her out some this weekend, and am not feeling confident about our travel potty seat. It's like this one. I just feel like it's not very stable, and kind of ill fitting (at least on our toilet). Maybe I'm using it wrong. But it slid around, and it freaked her out. It goes on the front of the seat, right? (I got it at a consignment sale, so it didn't have instructions). Is there a better option?

She uses a potty ring on the regular toilet at home. Should I just take that with me? That's kind of cumbersome, but I want her to feel comfortable enough to go potty while we're out, so I'll do what I've got to do. Would it even fit a public bathroom toilet? She's definitely too small to sit on a regular seat at this point.

TIA!

    We have a travel potty seat like you posted.  It's from TRU and it is Sesame Street Characters.  It has some grip on the bottom, so it doesn't move that much.  If we don't have it, I just hold her on the seat.

    I'm waiting for this to come in https://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=150774&cmSource=Search

    It's on backorder.

    I'm glad I have a DS.  I just stand him up on the potty and he pees into it.  I guess I'll carry that seat around for poop.

    I usually just hold her up, but I also have this travel seat that I keep in the car.  It can either stand on it's own with liners (if you need an emergency potty in the car) or can be put on top of a regular toilet.  It's definitely small enough to fit in a diaper bag, so it's not bad.

    I held DD up and do the same now with DS. It's so much easier with PT boys in public restrooms:) I was lucky that both kids would never poop anywhere but at home or grandma's house. I'm glad I never had to deal with that in a public restroom.

    We use a soft potty ring at home, and a Potette Plus when out and about.

    It took quite a bit for her to get used to the Potette but she doesn't mind it now.

     

    She absolutely will not go potty with me holding her on/over the toilet. I've tried numerous times. This is something that i'm going to have to work on though because there aren't potty rings at the preschool she'll be starting in the fall... (And incidentally, every single kid in the class was literally twice her size...)

    I never carried a seat with me.  I just put her on backwards or sideways.  She's still a little peanut at 3 yrs so we still sit sideways most of the time.  

    If she has to go #2 then I turn her forwards and hold her.  Although now, she can hold herself up but I still spot her.  That little tushy has fallen into the bowl more than once.

    We have this same seat.  It works OK.  It has little flaps in the front so that the seat doesn't slide back,  It helps DD feel much more comfortable with this.  This may seem silly but if I don't have this seat with me I put down toilet paper and then I sit DD to one side.  Meaning sitting so she is facing the wall.  This helps to avoid that gross spot in the front center of public toilets.  I have also found that she is a little more stable this way.

    It took a little more time but I always stripped DS from the waist down and then put him on the seat facing backwards.  This was great because at the time I was humongously pregnant and there was no way that I would be able to squat down holding DS on the toilet.  Now I just hold him facing forwards.

    When the time comes I will do this same thing for DD.
