Many modern parents lead an active lifestyle and travel. And from a very young age, they take their children with them. For children, travel is the best school of development! This is an opportunity to spend more time with your parents, to see something new. But, of course, long movements with young children have a number of their own characteristics. Some parents, not finding answers to questions that appear during planning, either prefer to leave their child to their grandmother, or even refuse to travel.
One of them, which lies on the surface, is the “toilet problem”, the lack of access to which can cause inconvenience to an adult, not to mention a child. There is a solution - a travel pot. This will largely solve the problem, but there are also nuances. About them - below.
So what is a travel pot? There may be several options. Many parents solve the problem as follows: they choose the lightest and most importantly the smallest pot in the store. For home use, you can choose the most convenient model - with a back, with a removable capacity, with some additional decorating elements. But the potty for children should be as simple and compact as possible - nothing more. The only thing worth paying special close attention to is its stability. Some manufacturers, in the pursuit of lightness and small volume, forget about such quality.
This is the easiest and cheapest way to solve the problem, but no matter how small the pot is, it still takes up a lot of space. Secondly, there may be a problem with the disposal of contents and washing the tank (if, again, there is no access to a public toilet or for another reason). This issue can be solved by analogy with a folding pot, which is described below.
Another option is an inflatable road pot. Its main advantages are lightness and compactness. But there are a number of minuses. Firstly, it will take time to inflate it, and not always the child warns of his desire in advance. Secondly, the inflatable structure is less stable than the plastic one.
The next option is a folding travel pot. This innovation has appeared on our market quite recently and already pleases many of its owners. There are several manufacturers of such pots, and as interest in these products is growing, their choice is increasing. One of the most common is the Potette plus travel pot. It is a plastic base for a pot with folding legs. Unassembled, it is a flat plastic part that takes up a minimum of space and is very light in weight. Instead of a container, a special plastic bag is used. Just due to it, the issue of disposal is easily solved - removed, tied up and thrown out. If necessary, put on another bag. Some parents have adapted to use ordinary plastic bags, rather than buying branded bags. It is often both simpler and cheaper.
If necessary, you can take such a pot with you not only on a long trip, but also on a long walk. It fits in a woman’s bag without any problems, it folds out easily and quickly. At the same time, the design is reliable and stable. In addition, it can be used as a lining on the toilet. If you purchase a separate silicone insert, then such a pot can be used as usual for home use.
