Bowl for holding between knees?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I recall someone on here once mentioning a potty bowl that is designed to be held between the knees. Does anyone know where to get something like that? I'm thinking of venturing down the EC-at-night road (although it seems like a dark and scary road...like when they go into the woods in the Wizard of Oz). Now, I realize that I COULD use a regular bowl or container that I probably have lying around the house. But having a special bowl seems pleasant, and I am also a notorious dropper-of-things. Add to that the fact that I'll be half awake, and I'm picturing many mornings of scrubbing pee out of the carpet if I try to use a squashy plastic bowl.

Thoughts? Websites? Desire to tell me to shut up and use a tupperware bowl?

the ec store has a potty bowl. It looks like a flower pot so you might be able to find something at your local gardening shop that would be cheaper but less flimsy than a plastic bowl.

I have the potty bowl from the EC Store and it worked fine for the first three months until DS was old enough for the Baby Bjorn Little Potty, then when he outgrew that, we got him the Baby Bjorn Potty Chair. Well, the BBPC has an insert that is perfectly shaped to do the job the potty bowl. If I were to do it over, I would save money and avoid accumulating more gear by skipping the potty bowl altogether and just getting the BBPC.

We love our potty bow, still use it at night and on the go, and sometimes just because DD wants to! It is really handy to keep on the shelf under the bedside table, and easy to keep stable in your lap while supporting baby, when half asleep.

It fits easily in my backpack, so we bring it everywhere. In her first 6-10 months I could easily potty her on buses or trains, without anyone noticing. Now she's just too big, so people will see (although she's dry most of the time, and doesn't usually need a potty when travelling nowadays).
