We’ve partnered with Target to help new parents make it through all the big transitions in their little one’s lives, including potty training.
It's one thing to convince your toddler to get on her big girl potty when she has to go at home — it's another to try to keep up your potty-training routine while you're running errands or taking a family vacation.
Even kids who have become a pro at their training toilet at home can be totally thrown by a change of environment. Still, potty training doesn't stop every time you leave the house. That's where these handy products come in. With the right tools, you can keep up with your kiddo's bathroom routine no matter where you are — and deal with accidents if (and let's be real, when) they happen. Here's what every parent needs for potty training on the go.
Skip Hop Grab and Go Wet/Dry Bag
This waterproof bag ($15) has two separate pouches you can use to keep wet items (like soiled undies) separate from a clean, dry change of clothes. Attach it to the stroller and rest easy knowing that you always have spare undies or pull-ups on hand.
Munchkin Sturdy Potty Seat
Since this potty training seat ($10) is pretty compact, it's easy to carry back and forth from your home to grandma's house, daycare, and anywhere else your family frequents.
Playtex Potty Genie 3-in-1 Potty Trainer
If your little one isn't ready to sit on the grown-up toilet quite yet, this multifunctional potty training toilet ($21) might be the best option. At first, your kids can use it like a mini toilet, but once they're ready, the removable ring can be used on top of any adult toilet. Removable liners ($3) make cleanup a breeze.
Daniel Goes to the Potty by Maggie Testa
In this adorable board book ($9), Daniel Tiger learns what happens when nature calls and you're not at home. Read this with your kids before you start potty training to show them that public bathrooms aren't scary.
Neat Solutions Potty Topper
These colorful toilet seat liners ($18) not only create a sanitary barrier between dirty toilet seats and your kiddo's bottom, but also come in fun colors that make even the ickiest public restrooms seem a little more kid-friendly.
Huggies Natural Care Baby Wipes
Not to be graphic, but potty training can be a messy business — especially when you're in a public restroom. Bring a pack of these unscented baby wipes ($2) wherever you go, just in case there's no TP.
EverSpring Fragrance Free Hand & Face Wipes
On a related note, these fragrance-free hand wipes ($2) ensure that you're covered even if the public restroom is out of soap.
Huggies Pull-Ups Girls' Learning Design Training Pants
While you're trying to train your little one to use big kid underwear, a long road trip or full day at the amusement park isn't the time to take a gamble. Pull-ups ($28) help kids get used to the motion of real underwear, but include that extra absorbency for any unexpected accidents.
