Only TWO containers of Purell!!!
Girl, I travel with Purell tucked into pockets in every bag we bring with us – and my kids are long potty-trained. You can never have too much of the stuff.
That I don’t know what a potty ring is says something I’m sure.

Don’t forget pulling off the side of the road and setting up the portable potty seat on the shoulder in the middle of Napa because of screams of “PuPu” from the backseat. They never have to go near a toilet.

Aaaaaaah, the joys of potty training! My kids always said they didn’t have to go, so I invented The Tricky Bladder Technique! I’d say I knew *they* didn’t have to go, but bladders can be tricky and not tell you. Invariable, once on the potty, at least a little would come out. After that, I’d just ask them to check their tricky bladder and there was no power struggle between us, but the two of us against the Tricky Bladder! It worked wonderfully!

Very impressive video. What always works with my kids is saying: “Time to go potty, my turn first,” and then racing to the toilet. Why is it they like that so much?

I was so fortunate that my kids mostly potty trained between trips (this was luck not skill mind you). I do agree with the “leaving the ring at home” advice – we hauled ours on several family trips and I don’t think they were really necessary. Plus there’s something a little gross about packing it, no matter how many times you’ve cleaned it off.

I find that diaper wipes deal with a multitude or problems and at least make me feel like the germs are gone.

My son was in the middle of potty training on a flight from Frankfurt to Melbourne. Unlike J. pearson, the noise the flush made on the plane terrified him and set him back so it was nappies on the way back again!

To my astonishment, my son decided (at TWO!) to toilet train himself on a transatlantic flight. I was so sure he’d put off the whole business for years by the terrifying super-suction flush, that I begged him to wait. He would not be dissuaded. Kids.
