Parents always ask; how can I make potty training easier out of the house? First off, you need to get your child out of the house. You should not be held hostage in your home. Bring a seat cover for the car seat. Your child will be fine, I promise you. When you go out, make sure there is a toilet available for your child. They even have fold up seats that your child can sit on that you can take home and clean up. Also, be aware that some of the toilets automatically flush. This can be scary for children. I recommend a little trick. Bring duct tape with you and cover up the little automation, so it does not scare your child. Lastly, if your child does have an accident, which can happen, remember you've brought your extra clothes. Don't panic. If it is a messy bowel movement, I recommend bringing baby scissors that have rounded edges and cut your underwear off of your child, so you won't have a huge mess in a public situation.
