Portable potty training is a great idea that can actually make your life easier while toilet training your child at the same time.

Let me explain.

When I was potty training my four children, going out anywhere - to shop, to go to the park, just to visit friends - struck terror in my heart.

What if my potty training child didn't want to use the bathroom at my friend's house?

What if there were NO bathrooms at the park? (Check that park off the list!)

Worst of all, what if we were shopping and my child said the dreaded (and yet desired!) words, "Mommy, I have to go potty?"

I mean, a public restroom? With my child?

I spent more time worrying than training. Certainly my apprehension carried over onto my child.

All that's over, however, for today's parent!

Portable potty training tools and resources abound in today's marketplace. They are affordable, too, giving you, Mom or Dad, excellent materials to make potty training your child on-the-go easier than ever.

You can choose from travel potties that are easy to clean (a must!), foldable (they even fit in a backpack) or disposable (no cleaning out the potty at all).

These are smart resources any family with young children can use to their advantage.

You might find, as do many families, that a combination of portable potty resources works best for your needs.

A stationary travel potty fitting neatly onto the back floor of your vehicle insures that no accidents need happen while traveling down the road. When your child needs to use the toilet, simply pull over, safely stop your car, and help your child do his business. Be sure and keep a tote bag of wipes, toilet paper and sanitizer in your vehicle, as well.

A folding toilet chair means that your potty training child can go places (think walking, biking, etc.) that would be far more difficult elsewise.

A disposable potty chair means that there is no mess to handle. What's better than that?

One thing to keep in mind.

Portable potty training really can keep your child moving forward smoothly in the toilet training process. However, like all tools, using them appropriately is important.

For example, your child needs to have a firm grip on the basics of potty training before you expect him to do well while traveling, shopping or any out-of-the-home activities.

Your toddler needs the chance to focus on what you're helping him learn before he becomes "mobile" with his potty training.

No product, no matter how useful, can substitute for individual experience and practice. So give your child the chance to fully understand the basics of toilet training, then, when she's ready, by all means move on to portable potty training.

So remember -

Train the foundations of potty use first.

When ready, introduce the concept of using these new potty skills on-the-go.

Be sure and get the right resources for the job and make sure your child feels comfortable with those resources before you expect him to use them.

The more secure you both are with the potty training process, the less surprises you will have!

Potty training is an exciting time in a young child's life. Besides using all the excellent portable potty training resources available to you, be sure and have plenty of hugs, patience and understanding on hand. This is only the first of many jobs you and your child will tackle together.

So enjoy learning from each other.
