Please recommend a portable potty seat for DD

[gbailey]

Hi everyone. Does anyone have a great recommendation for a portable potty seat. I've tried the Ginsey foldable one but for us they aren't secure and DD is uncomfortable sitting on it. She nearly fell in the toilet at the zoo. I checked out the Polette 2 but I was unsure whether or not the seat will attach to a public toilet. I don't think DD will use the option of going in the bag. We use a seat reducer on our bathroom and I was hoping for something similar for out and about use.

This is the seat we use at home but I told DH it's a bit too bulky to be carrying around.

We have one that we got for like 3$ at Walmart.  Its white and just a very basic toilet seat, nothing fancy about it.  I can't find it online though but it fits great in a diaperbag.  It kind of looks like the one you linked, minus the turtle features.  We used it when she was first pling, but don't anymore.  I just hold her on the public toilet sideways (because of that gap in the middle).  But she's still quite young, and I don't know how old your dd is and if this isn't an option.  She does use it at home if she choses to use the big potty.

Thanks Brennan. DD is 2.5 yrs. old.  We're going out with her tonight so I'll try holding her on the toilet plus I have some toddler toilet seat covers. I have a personal issue with public restrooms and avoid them like the plague but I know DD can't. I would love if she'd use the potette. I could always buy one and see.

I really like the seatcover idea. We had some when my daughter was first training, and it helped immensely.

we use the pottette for my 20 mo. it's a little bulky for carrying around, but not too bad. Much less bulkier than your turtle (we have that at the grandparents'). And it comes with a thick plastic carry bag so it's not touching all the other stuff in your bag.

We havn't used the freestanding/bag option yet (i expect that to be helpful in the summer at the park or beach), but it works fine on public toilets. For my boy, we just have to shove some paper into the gap in the front or he pees all over his pants. I bet it would work a little better for a girl.
