POTETTE On the Go Potty – GENIUS

The Potette On the Go Potty 2-in-1 Plus is an invention of pure genius… even if I didn’t believe it at first.

The idea behind this potty seat is very simple. The compact seat has two legs that flip out from the sides to create a little free-standing potty. Then, you place a plastic liner in the center that stretches over the sides and hooks around the legs.

In the center of each liner is an absorbent pad that soaks up liquid.

At first, this just struck me as weird – like scooping up after a dog with a plastic shopping bag. That was until…

…My 2 year old urgently needed to go potty when we were at the playground. There is no bathroom there, and she wouldn’t have made it all the way home without an accident.

Potette 2-in-1 On the Go Potty to the rescue. I broke out the potty seat, set it on the ground, and she was back to playing in under one minute.

After my toddler finished going tinkle, I popped out the liner bag, tied it, and tossed it into the nearest trash can.

We used the Potette 3 times that day and other moms at the playground all wanted to know where I got it.

Here Is The GENIUS Part

The Potette would be a winner with just the benefit of creating an on-the-go potty wherever you need one. But, they went one step further.

The legs of the Potette 2-in-1 On the Go Potty will flip out to the sides like wings and turns it into a potty seat for use on top of a full size toilet seat.

This one single seat gives you the benefits of both an on-the-go potty that works anywhere and also a traditional potty trainer seat.

The Potette was extremely helpful during our holiday travels. We carried one potty seat and always had a potty option for our 2 year old daughter.

To be fair, the Potette 2-in-1 On the Go Potty isn’t perfect. It can take a little effort to get the legs to snap into position. But, the simplicity of the whole thing keeps it small and light.

The Potette
also sits pretty low to the ground when used as a portable potty. Not a huge issue, but some kids may not like it (no problem for my daughter.)

If you have ever found yourself desperately looking for a bathroom while your toddler dances around shouting, “I need to go potty”, then give the Potette 2-in-1 On the Go Potty a look.

It’s perfect for people who like to camp, travel on long car trips, or just spend lots of time outdoors.

Toilet Seat Adapters for Potty Training

Free standing potty  chairs aren’t the only option for potty training. You can’t lug them around with you, and once you start, it’s important to have your child use the potty consistently. And, potty training shouldn’t make you a prisoner in your own home. Another type of toilet training device is a separate seat that fits over the regular toilet seat making it easier for your child to sit on the big potty. (more…)
