Parents can minimize the perils of potty training their toddlers while traveling by making a few, easy preparations.

Bringing your child’s stand alone potty chair is invaluable in continuing their potty progress. When bathroom emergencies arise you can just pull over and set up your child’s potty chair on the passenger seat. It’s important to remember to bring inserts or plastic bags with you to line the potty. They will hasten clean up and make the situation less difficult.

If you decide on bringing the potty chair, take toilet paper or wipes for your child. Stay consistent and use on the road whatever you use at home. Long trips are hard enough without adding extra elements to confuse or stress your child.

Protect your car seat and your little one’s clothes by putting them in disposable training pants before starting out. There are many styles and price points to choose from and they are worth remembering to avoid embarrassing accidents.

It’s a good idea to limit how much water your child ingests while you’re traveling. Keep them hydrated but don’t over do it or they may have an accident. Finding a place to pull over on a busy highway can be challenging sometimes and is best avoided.

Take advantage of rest stops while traveling so your child can use the bathroom. Don’t be afraid to bring along their potty seat into the restroom. Children can be afraid of the unusual surroundings so don’t be surprised if they prefer the comfort of their potty chair instead of the rest stop toilet.

You can expect your toddler to have a slip or two in his potty training progress while he’s under stress from traveling. Be patient and know that he will get it in time. Traveling is hard on adults and can be even more so, on kids.

Upon arrival, try your best to get your child back onto their normal potty routine. Both you and your child can take comfort in knowing that when you return home, you’ll be in your old surroundings and can continue with your potty training progress.
