In my five and a half years of parenting, THE most challenging, stressful and messy moments happened during the potty training phase. Potty training is no joke and the only thing worse than potty training at home is potty training on vacation. If you’ll be traveling while potty training, you’ll definitely want to pack these five essential items:
Five Must Haves for Traveling While Potty Training:
1) A portable potty is a must for trips to the park or on vacation. Every NYC mom keeps a 2-in-1 Potette Plus in her stroller basket for good reason. This ingenious invention can be used as a stand alone potty (just insert the special bag first) and can also sit atop toilet seats in public restrooms. It is a total life saver and I still keep one in my car to this day.
2) If you’re staying overnight at a hotel or friend’s house during your travels, your tots will feel at home when you bring along the Baby Bjorn Toilet Trainer. Baby Bjorn showcased their new travel friendly products at the recent Momtrends travel event and I loved this one because it has an adjustable dial underneath that ensures the seat will fit securely. I also like the splash guard because accidents happen…
3) The Piddle Pouch is a disposable, easy-to-use pee pee bag that can used anywhere. If you’ve got boys, you’ll want to keep some of these biodegradable bags in your diaper bag for last minute emergencies. Use, toss and go – these are perfect for city moms and travelers. Invented by a mom of two boys, of course…
4) Accidents that happen at night in a hotel room are way worse than nighttime accidents that happen at home. Depending on your child’s potty training progress, be sure to bring along Pull Ups, GoodNites and training underwear.
5) Last but not least, don’t even think about forgetting the flushable wipes when you travel. Put some of your favorites in a ziploc for the trip or pack these Kandoo flushable wipes in a perfect travel size case.
Happy travels!
