Tippitoes Travel Potty

Was a godsend when potty training and we started going out and about. Comes in a travel bag so handy for throwing in the botton of the pram or if you have a giant handbag like mine. At first it was a bit tricky tring to put together, especially when under pressure from a hopping toddler waiting for you to sort it out, but was fine once i got the hand of it. My toddler was rluctant to use it at first as not as comfy to sit on as his regular potty but we got round that by saying it was a special builders potty we had to build everytime it was going to get used (he's obsessed with buiilding and tools so this worked for us) Having a boy we found stray wee's going in their own direction, so found it easier for him to sit on it back to front which avoided any problems. Even after potty training was complete we kept in the boot of the car rather than a normal pottly as was much easier to dispose of the bags than having to clean up. Overall as you use it for such a short period of time during potty training I'd recommend this rather than the much more expensive ones as ultimately they do the same job and you can have as much trouble convincing them to use a £20 potty as you can using a £5 one

I looked at another fold down (but flat) travel potty that does training seat too - but chose this as I was worried from the reviews about putting my LO off using a potty out and about if it collapsed. This has been a huge success! It's pretty compact, perfect for my LO - but bigger kids have a job using it, emergency use by a friends 4.5 year old girl was a bit tricky with a bit of splash, but better than nothing! It fits in a big handbag, and is easy to put a bag in and clip together quickly. You get some bags with it, but I didn't buy any more of the "proper" ones, as I've found wilko's pedal bin liners (25p for 20 ish) and a couple of large cotton pads (baby aisle in asda, 50 odd for £1.75) work a treat and are much more cost efficient ;-) I've found its worth "making up" a few bags at a time so they are ready to grab on your way out the door. Hope this helps you :-)

Brilliant travel potty, works for my little boy very well. He has decided very early (14 months) that he'd rather use a potty than a nappy, but we're not completely out of nappies so this is ace for popping on a changing table, or the footwell of the car. We used all ten of the free liners and now just use peddle bin bags with a few bits of cotton wool in. The carry bag is good too, small and my son loves to carry it, and can with ease.

Great idea, loved that you can tie the bags and put in bin afterwards. Better for girls than boys as it's tricky making sure the pee goes in the potty with boys. The curved inner rim means that sometimes wee goes everywhere! Replacement liners are expensive but works just as well with nappy bags (stretched a little) and sq cotton pads which are much much cheaper. I carry it all set up with a liner in a draw string bag and put it out where ever we are so he knows it's there if he needs it. It's very small, my son is 2yrs 5 months and on the 9th percentile growth wise so he's not a big lad. So I'm not sure how a bigger toddler would manage with this potty. Again more of a problem with boys than girls. As it's only used occasionally when out I would recommend. It's very light to carry even with spare liner bags and cotton pads. It's very cheaper compared to other travel potties and it's done the job for us.

Not very impressed with this. It comes in clear plastic carrying case and is basically two plastic rings with a plastic bag to catch the waste. The replacement bags are overpriced for what they are and are fiddly to fit properly, especially in a rush - leaks and spills are easy to occur. The potty doesn't have much of a lip at the front do with girls, there's sometimes some spray... I absolutely regret this purchase and have already bought something else - this has gone in the bin already unfortunately.

This product is a great idea & fantastic for when you're out & about. My son had no problems using it & wasn't put off by the plastic bag at all. It's small & light so I can take it anywhere & everywhere. The absorbent lining soaks up the wee & you just dispose off the bag the same as you would a nappy bag. Brilliant product at a great price - would highly recommend!!

Initially I was disappointed with this potty. It was fiddly to put together, looked too small and low to the ground for my 2 year old to feel safe sitting on, and the first few times I tried it out it leaked. But I'm glad I persevered. It just takes a bit of practice to get the hang of assembling it in a hurry. In the very early stages of potty training when a toddler needs the potty *NOW* it is rather frustrating messing about with plastic bags, but once she can hold it for 20 seconds it's fine. The bags that come with it are useless. They are too small. You have to stretch them to fit them over the seat and if you try to do it in a rush (which let's face it, will usually be the case) they split! I thought I must be doing something wrong at first and tried fitting the bag just over the base section, and then placing the seat on top. This caused the aforementioned leaks. I was right first time - the bag needs to be fitted over the entire seat. I've given up with the supplied bags and followed another reviewer's advice. I now use pedal bin liners. Tips for anyone planning to do the same: 1) Make sure the liners you choose do not have safety holes. Obviously. 2) Use bags with tie-handles so they can be secured over the edge of the base. 3) Before packing your potty bag, fully open the bags and blow into them so they're no longer "stuck" together, then roll them up to pack. Saves precious seconds later on. 4) Tie a knot in each bag about 4 ins from the bottom. It just stops excess plastic bag billowing about and makes it fit the potty better. 5) Pack 2 squares of kitchen roll for each bag, folded into quarters. 6) Take some nappy sacks along for an extra layer of protection if you have to carry it all home, and for courtesy when using someone else's bin! So with a bit of creative adaptation it can be successful. For a 2-year old girl, at least. If the supplied bags fitted properly it would have had 4 stars.

I was hesitant because of some negative reviews but need not of worried. The bags are a tight fit so would suggest you fit one before going out but the travel potty serves it purpose. Its ideal for my 23 month Grand Daughter {who has just potty trained} for car journeys or shopping trips when a toilet is not always close by. It comes with 10 bags so should last a while but I think I will do as other reviews suggest and buy pedal bin liners with cotton wool or folded kitchen roll for replacements rather than pay the price for refills if needed.
