Favorite potty for on the go?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
My almost 4 month old really loves his BBLP. But I need something I can keep in the back of the car so we can potty on the go. I haven't gotten him comfortable with being held over the big people potty, and I'm not sure if it is always acceptable to use the sink in public restrooms (but we have done it ).
Does anyone have a potty they love for on the road? I want to stay away from anything involving throw-away baggies etc. I don't like how the BBLP drips down the side when you empty it out - not going to work if we can't rinse it out right there. Is there anything out there that has a snap on lid so we can rinse when we get home?

I loved the potette plus. It folds up and fits great in a backpack. You can use it as a seat reducer when your little one is comfortable sitting on the big potty, and it also works as a standalone with a bag in it. You're supposed to use disposable bags, but you could just as easily use a zippered wetbag under it to catch everything. I'd stick a cloth diaper in it to absorb the moisture.

If you want something with a lid, just use some sort of tupperware. You can get those little Glad or Ziploc leftover containers. They make them in sizes that would work, and if your little one is just being held over it instead of sitting on it, then any bowl like that will work. Obviously that solution will no longer work once the baby prefers to sit.

I love our new potette plus but I'm totally pedestrian now and in the city (no car) so I don't mind the very occasional thrown-away bag. Overall I am sure its much less wasteful than diapers would be. And yes, you could just put a prefold in there.

BUT, you could certainly set the potette plus up with nothing underneath too, and let baby pee right on the ground. (And if its a surprise #2, just go ahead and pick it up like you would with a dog...)
