From the manufacturer

The Original Potette Potty

The Potette Plus 2-in-1 Portable Potty and Toilet-Trainer Seat can be used as a standalone potty with the legs locked in place, or legs open to create handles that securely sit over a toilet seat. This is great for potting training at home and if you are out and about, and prefer not to use public toilets.

Everything you need for your potty-training journey.

• 1 x Portable Potty & Toilet-Trainer Seat
• 1 x Travel Carry Bag
• 3 x Potette Plus Disposable Liners

The All-Round Potty

The Potette is a self-contained stand alone potty that can be used anywhere with our disposable liners.

Simply click and lock the legs into place. When finished remove the used liner and fold legs for easy storage. You can store up to 3 liners on the potty for immediate use.

Toilet Trainer Seat

This dual-purpose Potty can also be used on most toilet seats to help little ones learn when to go.

Fold the Potette legs completely flat to be used as a toilet training seat. This makes your little one feel more comfortable when entering the next stage of potty training.

Disposable Liners

Liners feature a fun pattern on the pad which will disappear when wet, making potty training fun for your little one. Liquid also turns to gel in the liner, helping to prevent spillages and leaks.

Bio-degradable liners hold up to 5oz of liquid and are lightly scented to absorb odours.

High Quality Materials

Unlike many of our competitors, Potette has been safety tested to meet safety standards EN71-1, EN71-3. The strong and durable BPA/AZO free plastic will not collapse under the pressure of heavier children.

Furthermore, the unique rubberised feet give the Potette grip on countless surfaces, and the grooves in the legs of Potette make it easy to safely secure disposable liners. Simply hook the handles under these grooves to ensure it will not move when your child is using the potty.

Since 2008 Potette has been refined from the very first potty prototype to the potty training essential parents know and love today.

7 Best Travel Potty Seats and Chairs for Toilet-Trained Tots

Even if your little one has been successfully potty training for a while, it might be a shock to your super-duper pooper when they venture out of the house and suddenly, urgently, have to go. Holding it—especially for long stretches—is not a realistic option for young toilet trainers. Plus, using a bathroom that’s not their own can feel pretty intimidating or uncomfortable—and those automatic flushers can be scary! That’s why having a travel potty at the ready can be so crucial for those on-the-go bathroom breaks. Below, we’ve detailed the types of travel-friendly toddler potties out there and what you should look for when shopping. Plus, check out our list of the best travel potty options on the market.

Types of Toddler Travel Potties

If you’ve been potty training your little one, you’re probably well-versed in the world of potty chairs and potty seats . Travel potties more or less come in the same styles but are made easier to tote around and dispose of or pack up in a pinch. There are three main categories of travel potties on the market today: travel potty chairs, travel potty seats and portable urinals. All of them let your child relieve themselves when a restroom isn’t accessible or when said restroom is available but not what your little mini had in mind to do their business. Below, check out the pros and cons of each:

Travel potty chairs

A potty chair is often the first type of toilet your sweetpea will take for a spin. This standalone setup sits on the floor, is easy to lift and can be moved from one room to another with little issues. The “traditional” potty chairs you’ll use at home come with a removable basin (and affixed splash guard) that you can pop out to empty the contents into your larger toilet once your little one finishes up. These can be rinsed with water and wiped clean afterward. A travel potty chair is more lightweight and usually features legs that can be folded away for compact portability. It also replaces the traditional basin with a disposable bag that attaches or clips onto the seat. After your child relieves themselves, you can grab the baggie, tie it up and throw it in the nearest trash. One potential drawback: It isn’t functional without a plastic bag to insert—so be sure to remember those bags when you leave the house!

Travel potty seats

Travel potty seats are designed to sit on top of regular toilets, providing a smaller “shelf” for your tiny one’s tush. Most are made of hard plastic (which is simple to wipe clean), but others are crafted with foam for a more ergonomic and comfortable feel. What’s more, a number of these travel potty seats come equipped with special grips or suction cups to stabilize the seat and prevent it from shifting around. You’ll also appreciate how they’re often ultra compact and portable; many versions can be folded up and slipped seamlessly into a travel bag or Ziploc.

However, there are also a few downsides to consider. Newly trained toddlers who haven’t yet “graduated” from the potty chair to the potty seat might not feel comfortable sitting on a standard toilet. And, even if they are newly-minted potty chair users, you’ll have to help lift your little one and keep them steady. Finally, the seat can get dirty and germy in no time, so you’ll need to keep sanitizing wipes handy for quick post-bathroom cleans.

Portable urinals

Travel urinals for toddlers are much simpler, and—apart from being a reservoir to collect pee—look nothing like their public restroom porcelain predecessors (or even the at-home toddler options like the viral Frog Potty Training Urinal . The toddler travel version is basically a large plastic cup with a soft funneled opening that your child can pee into when needed. These also work for toddlers no matter their sex: Boys and girls have different funnel attachments to align with their unique anatomy (a circular opening for boys and a heart-shaped opening for girls). On the downside, if it’s been a while since your toddler last peed, they could potentially overfill the cup. And, of course, portable urinals are only suitable for number ones—so they aren’t the most versatile.

What to Look for in a Travel Potty

When you’re shopping for the best travel potty, there are several important factors to keep in mind: portability, ease of use, ease of cleaning up and—perhaps most importantly—your child’s comfort. If your toddler refuses to use the travel potty, then it won’t be much use—so give careful thought to your toddler’s preferences and which type of potty is most likely to have them relaxed enough to “let go.”

Next, think about your travel needs. If you’re buying a travel potty to have on hand whenever your tot needs to go and there’s no bathroom in sight—for example, to stash in your car trunk for when you need to pull over stat, or stow in your stroller for lengthy excursions—a travel potty chair is probably the way to go. On the other hand, if your destination is a hotel room or Grandma’s house, a travel potty seat enables your kiddo to make use of the existing toilet.

There’s also something to be said for waste. Travel potty seats are the most sustainable option since you don’t have to throw anything out; as long as you have a toilet to put the seat on, everything will be flushed away. Travel potty chairs that use disposable plastic bags to catch number ones and twos need to be deposited in the trash, so you’ll always need plastic bags or liners to use these types of toilets.

Best Travel Potty Options to Shop

Ready to shop for a portable travel potty? Here, browse the just-in-case commodes we’ve used and loved with our own kids and ones parents say they couldn’t survive on-the-go adventures without.

Overall best travel potty chair

• Small, lightweight design
• Straightforward to set up and break down
• Comes with three disposable bags with absorbent pads and a carry bag
• May rock slightly when placed on a standard toilet
• Some parents say splash guard doesn’t work well
• Must be used with a plastic bag

When it comes to naming the best travel potty chair, this completely versatile option from OXO Tot is seriously the best pot for your tot. Thanks to the sturdy legs that pop out quickly and easily, it can be used as a standalone potty chair. When your little one needs to go, just slip a plastic bag into the center (using the flexible flaps to hold the bag in place) and let your child do their business. Then dispose of the bag, fold the legs back up and slip it into the included carry bag. Another highlight: This 2-in-1 option can also be used as a travel potty seat —the legs extend flat and lock in place to balance on standard toilet seats. No wonder our product tester’s feedback earned this potty a place in our Best of The Bump roundup —you get the best of both worlds with this pick!

Dimensions: 11” (L) x 11” (W) x 2.5” (H) | Weight: 1.5 lbs.

“I would for sure recommend this to anyone that’s potty training. This type of seat is the best in my opinion because it’s perfect for at home, public restrooms, the car—literally anywhere! The size is great and it’s easy to keep it clean.”

Best travel potty seat

• Folds up into itself with the “dirty” side inside
• Made from BPA-free materials
• Travel bag fits into diaper bags or purses
• Some parents say it’s difficult to remove from public toilet seats
• No built-in splash guard

With thousands of positive ratings to back it up, the Jool folding travel potty seat really stacks up. The versatile design fits most standard and public toilets and is equipped with eight strong suction cup grips on its underside to keep your child balanced. The lightweight toilet topper folds easily and packs away into the travel bag it comes with. Plus, once your toddler finishes their tinkle, you’ll appreciate that the the soft, smooth surface is a cinch to clean. Our product tester raved about how easy this chair was to use, wash and move from room to room. It’s no wonder this pick was featured in our Best of The Bump roundup of the best potty chairs!

Dimensions: 10” (L) x 7.2” (W) | Weight: 9.9 oz.

“This potty has significantly helped with potty training and it’s very easy to move from room to room. It’s also very easy to fit in a diaper bag or even a purse in some cases. It was completely painless to set up away from home.”

Best travel potty for the car

• Nesting design easily stows away
• Smooth surface for easy cleaning
• The plastic bag is secured under the seat
• Disposable bags not included
• No handles to hold or suction cups to keep it sturdy

Road trips with kids can be a lot, to say the least. And when you’ve got newly potty-trained tikes in tow, driving long distances can be even more challenging. At least with the Skip Hop travel potty for the car, you can keep things moving smoothly. The clever design triples as a standalone potty chair (it’s got a removable basin and pour spout), a potty seat (that fits most standard size toilets) and a travel potty when you’re out and about (with a disposable plastic bag). We love the bonus “nesting design” for space-saving portability, and also how easy it is to clean. While it’s not small enough to toss into a diaper bag, it’s perfectly sized for the trunk of your car.

Dimensions: 11.7” (L) x 5.9” (W) x 13.7” (H) | Weight: 2.2 lbs.

Best simple travel potty for toddlers

• Signature splash guard is free from gaps
• Includes a carrying bag and three leakproof disposable liners
• Available in a number of gender-neutral colorways
• Legs must “click” when you set it up, to prevent collapsing
• Too short for a tall toddler to use regularly
• Disposable bags stretch out over the potty, which can be slippery

Potty training can be a long process, so simpler potties may work better for younger toddlers while they’re still figuring things out. That’s why we love the Potette Plus 2-in-1 travel potty and training seat. It can either be placed on top of standard toilets or on the ground as a standalone travel potty with fold-out legs. We especially love the rubberized legs that provide stability and prevent slipping. It’s approved for toddlers as young as 15 months and up to 50 lbs, so it’s definitely one that can grow with your family—from one potty-training tot to another.

Dimensions: 10.5” (L) x 9.7” (W) x 2.9” (H) | Weight: 13.6 oz.

Best fun travel potty for toddlers

• Secure, water-tight seal
• Convenient carry handle
• Available in several fun designs
• Some reviewers say it can be tricky to open at times

Does your little one get anxious using toilets away from home? Then this fun travel potty for toddlers is sure to brighten their day. The cute penguin design looks like a backpack , thanks to its convenient top carry handle. But, inside, you’ll find a portable potty chair, complete with a large, comfy seat and a tall splash guard. Other standout features include the secure locking mechanism, the water-tight seal and the non-slip feet—all of which make this a great travel option. What’s more, it’s available in several other sweet designs, like a dinosaur , a ladybug and a cow , as well as solid colors .

Dimensions: 10.2” (L) x 9.3” (W) x 4.3” (H) | Weight: 1.9 lbs.

Best portable urinal for toddlers

• Small size makes for easy portability
• Quick and convenient to use
• Affordable price point
• Only suitable for number ones

The most portable option on our list, this potty urinal is lightweight and easy to take with you wherever you go. Its design looks like a cup, but its top-notch sealing—which holds urine securely until you’re able to dispose of it—is what sets it apart from the crowd. The lid that your little one pees into comes in multiple animal-themed options that’ll make potty time away from home much more fun and comforting. Between both the convenience and cuteness of this portable potty, it’s a surefire winner in our books!

Dimensions: 11” (L) x 7” (H) | Weight: 2.4 oz.

Best disposable travel potty

• Small, portable design
• Comes in convenient multipacks
• High weight capacity
• Not the most environmentally friendly option

Yes, disposable travel potties exist! Our top pick is this option from Nuby, which is super portable and easy to use. The special construction is lightweight, doesn’t easily tear or squish and can accommodate children up to 60 pounds—so in an emergency situation, even your toddler’s older sibling can take a turn. You’ll just want to toss this one out as soon as you find a garbage can, as having a bag filled with waste can get messy really easily, of course.

Dimensions: 4” (L) x 1” (W) x 7” (H) | Weight: 5.3 oz.

The Best Potty For Travel: The Number 1 Way To Handle Number 2 In 2023

Choosing the best potty for travel in 2023 can help make your travel life so much easier. From toddler potties to foldable potty seats, this guide to the best potty for travel lays out everything you need to know before they go.

It happens. As someone who has traveled to over 45 countries , 21 of them with young children, I’ve encountered more than my fair share of kid’s bathroom emergencies. Whether my family is hiking and camping or traveling internationally, having a travel potty on hand is something that would have saved us stress in many situations. But finding the best potty for travel can be complicated. There are many different travel styles and a lot of variables to consider when picking the perfect one for your family vacation.

Travel potties for toddlers who are potty training can make your life easier. And they have the potential to save your child from potentially embarrassing incidents where a change of clothes might not be readily available.

I wish this was a topic that was addressed regularly in the travel sector. But it seems that many people are still uncomfortable talking about bathroom issues on the road. Delhi Belly has happened to me. And my kids have had their own dramatic experiences while potty training on the road in destinations such as Jordan , Argentina , and Peru .

So let’s hop aboard the potty train and dig into our list of the best travel potty for toddlers.

Our Top Choices For Travel Potties in 2023

Table of Contents

Before I get into the meat and potatoes of choosing the best potty for travel this year, I’ll give a quick view of my top four potty choices for those of you who need to make a quick decision. You can read on to find out how each model was chosen.

How To Choose a Potty For Travel

There are two main factors that go into the best potty seat for traveling. These features are found among most of the kids’ travel toilets on this list. Travel potty chairs are stand-alone toddler toilets that kids can use for potty training. While travel potty seats are units that are used in combination with existing toilets in order to make a toilet safer and more comfortable to use.

If you’re going to be traveling on long road trips or to travel destinations where you won’t have easy access to restrooms, a potty chair is likely your best choice. These can be used solo and sit low to the ground so kids can have control of their own bodies while going to the bathroom.

If you’re visiting theme parks, resorts, or homestays, or doing urban travel where access to washrooms is plentiful, a potty seat for toddlers may be all that you need. They tend to be much smaller, lighter, and more portable. Although, if you find yourself far from existing washrooms, a potty seat won’t be able to be used independently.

The Best Travel Potty For Toddlers

There are a lot of different potties for travel on the market. The need is out there. And whether you’re looking for potties for camping, potties for road trips, or the best toddler potties for travel, we’ve got you covered.

If you’re short on time and want to get straight to our list of the best potties for travel, check out my chart below for our top potty picks for each category.

But, if you’re looking for a little more selection and some greater detail on how to pick the best travel potties, or what makes one potty better for camping vs road trips, you can find out all of the details down below.

The Best Toddler Potty Chairs For Travel

Travel potties for toddlers are can be invaluable when you are potty training your child as you travel. Decisions such as portability, comfort, and choosing something fun and inviting can be a key part of the decision when choosing the best travel potty for kids.

When our children were toilet training, we were traveling almost constantly. From the age of one through three our kids were exploring Petra Jordan , visiting South America’s largest colony of penguins , and even running a dog sled team in Canada’s Northwest Territories .

Picking the best potty for travel can be a fun, family decision. Many are available in a range of hues and patterns. Even if you pick the product, you can involve your toddler in the decision-making process so they will feel like the potty seat is truly their throne.

The portability of a potty seat is of utmost importance when it comes to on-the-go use. Many modern potty seats fold up for compact storage and simple transport. Let’s explore some of our favorite travel potty seats.

OXO Tot 2-in-1 Go Potty for Travel 

The compact, collapsible design of the Oxo Tot 2-in-1 Go Potty for Travel makes it my pick for the best potty for travel for toddlers and potty training. The diminutive size and comfy seat mean that the unit can fit into a backpack or carry-on luggage very easily.

The OXO comes with disposable plastic liners, so waste management on the go is a breeze. It acts as an easy-to-use emergency toilet for children. And its sturdy design means that it can double as a travel toilet for adults as well.

The Oxo Potty for Travel works by pressing two small buttons on either side to unfold the collapsible legs. Installing the waste bag involves pushing the bag into the grippy rubber holders on the top of the travel potty. The child’s weight acts as secondary support to secure the bag.

The disposable bags that work with the Oxo travel toilet have a small absorbent pad inside to help soak up wet waste. This makes it easier to carry it to the nearest bin for disposal.

The unit doesn’t come with many bags, so if I recommend purchasing a pack of refills when you buy the unit. As an added bonus, you can fit standard grocery bags to the Oxo potty. Just make sure that they don’t have holes in them.

You can find out the current price by clicking below.

Kalencom Potette Plus 2-in-1 Travel Potty

The Kalencom Potette Plus 2-in-1 Travel Potty isn’t quite as compact as the Oxo, which is why it didn’t make our number one spot on the best travel potty for toddlers. But, it is a fun, colorful unit that includes a non-slip grip and a nice ergonomic design that kids love.

The Potette Plus potty can handle a weight of up to 50 lbs (23 kg) so it can grow with your child. And, it can be used as a stand alone training potty or mounted on a toilet ring. And for those with boys, it also has a built-in pee guard to avoid those messes.

Similar to the OXO, it comes with three disposable odor-absorbent liners that can hold up to 5 oz (147 ml) of moisture. The unit can be paired with standard grocery bags, although I found the mounting to be not quite as easy or secure as the OXO.

Poppy Potty

Replacing the Baby Bjorn travel potty on our list of the best potties for travel is the Poppy Potty . This is another great 2-in-1 travel potty for toddlers and older children who may require access to potties on the go.

The Poppy potty is ultra lightweight (just 907 g) and can hold up to 110 lbs. Its easy-to-use design and included carrying bag make it a popular option for families who travel.

The Poppy Potty is also an environmentally-conscious choice for the best travel potties. The disposable liners are all biodegradable and the seat is free of BPA, phthalates, and PVC. The only thing keeping this from being our top design is that the biodegradable bags are slightly less durable than some other brands.

The stylish design and practical function of this potty make it a top contender.

Best Traveling Potty Seat

Unlike travel potty chairs, travel potty seats tend to be far more compact. They are designed to be fit onto existing toilets to make trips to public restrooms safer and more comfortable.

There are several types of travel potty seats including ones that have handles, some that are disposable, and some that fold for maximum portability.

While potty chairs are excellent for those times when you’re away from existing washrooms, toddler potty seats require the use of existing toilets.

Gimars Folding Portable Potty Training Seat

With a design that can slip easily into a small, waterproof zipper bag, the Gimars Folding Portable Potty Training Seat is an excellent choice for urban travel families. The fun, friendly design helps kids want to sit on this travel potty seat.

The design is slim and portable so you can easily slip it inconspicuously into a purse or in the travel compartment of a travel stroller. The unit is also equipped with non-slip grips and two flip-down clips that will secure the potty seat safely to the toilet.

The Gimars travel potty seat can support children up to 60 lbs (27 kg). And it’s available in fun, bright colors including pink, yellow, or blue.

Maliton Portable Potty Seat

This adorable toddler Maliton p ortable travel potty seat is built from non-toxic polypropylene. It has a super convenient foldable design that packs down to tiny dimensions. And although it’s foldable, there’s no risk of pinching.

The fun, frog design can be easily cleaned and doesn’t hold odors. And the four silicone pads offer excellent grip. There are also two anti-slip locks so you can rest assured that your child won’t slip while being accompanied to the toilet. This potty seat is designed for use by kids between the ages of 1 and 6.

What to Consider When Buying a Travel Potty

Travel toilets can be a lifesaver (and a clothes saver). But picking the right one means weighing a few different factors.

Before you choose the perfect model, think about when you’re going to be making bathroom stops while traveling. Will you be traveling primarily by car, walking, or public transportation?

If you are mostly doing road trips you’ll have a little more flexibility in terms of size and portability. However, if you’re doing human-powered travel where you’re walking with a stroller, determining factors such as weight and size become much more important.

For airplane travel and travel where you’re on the move quite a bit, have something small and foldable that can fit easily into a bag or under your stroller.

And if you’re camping or traveling to places where you won’t have access to existing washrooms, you’ll want a stand-alone potty for travel. Travel potty seats simply won’t work on their own.

Lastly, consider your child’s preferences. Making them a part of the decision-making process can be important. Most toddler potties fit quite comfortably, but style is something that helps kids connect to a product. And this is something they could be using several times a day for as long as you’re on the road.

New Potty Training Bundle

Potette Plus

Potette Max

Great Potty!

We have just received our Potette’s and they are so light and convenient. It folds down so easily too and is sturdy enough for my little fidget who thinks bouncing on the potty is funny! I ordered the reusable liner and some disposable bags, I really like the liner because it’s a rubber rather than hard plastic and it just sits on top of the Potette so it makes it easier to pick up and is bendy so great for pouring when emptying after use. Plus much easier to wash properly than those big plastic potty’s. My favorite feature though is the disposable bags! I was worried my daughter wouldn’t sit on the bag as it covers the seat but she was quite happy to and she really enjoyed the turtles. I LOVED the bags because after use you just tie the handles and throw it in the bin… no cleaning!

Best travel potties: portable potties and toilet training seats Mumsnetters won't leave home without

Are you preparing to head outside the home with your toilet-training toddler? Here are the best compact and portable travel potties, as recommended by Mumsnet parents. 

By Lucy Cotterill | Last updated Dec 18, 2023

Potty training your toddler can be a fairly overwhelming experience. While your child may be fairly confident using the potty in their familiar home surroundings, heading outside the house with your ‘nappy-free’ toddler can be a little more daunting for all concerned. 

Taking a travel potty out and about can really take the pressure off, allowing you to enjoy a day with your toddler without needing to worry about the location of the nearest public toilets. Generally relatively compact in size, the best travel potties can easily be stashed in the basket of your pushchair or even in your changing bag , ensuring you’ve always got a solution to hand in case of toilet training emergencies. They can also help improve your child’s confidence, allowing some independence while reducing the risk of accidents. 

With a range of designs to choose from, including stand-alone potties and compact fold-out designs, a travel potty or toilet training seat is ideal for day trips, travel, camping and holidays. Some travel potties can also be used as a hygienic toilet seat reducer, helping aid the transition from a potty to a regular toilet.  

To bring you a definitive list of the best travel potties you can buy today, we tapped into the hive mind of Mumsnet parents, seeking their tried and tested recommendations on travel potties that have supported their child’s potty training journey. We then researched wider consumer feedback on the products Mumsnetters rate, gaining wider views on the potty’s ease of use and portability. 

Whether it’s a disposable travel potty, a foldable travel potty or a travel seat for public toilets, here are the best travel potties that make toilet training outside of the home simple and stress-free.

What we don’t like

What Mumsnet users say

We used the Potette Plus. It’s a really easy-to-use potty which folds flat and uses disposable liners. It can also be used as a toilet training seat. (Recommended by Mumsnet user MelBushman )

“We have a Potette Plus and I love it. My daughter calls it her 'out and about potty' It folds up for storage, and also right out to act as a little toilet seat so they can sit comfortably on the loo. We're in the throes of potty training and we've used it in a dance studio (loo seat), clothes shop (loo seat) and a park (potty) this weekend. Absolutely invaluable. It comes with plastic bag inserts, which you have to buy more of, but you can just as easily use a plastic shopping bag with a wad of kitchen roll in it.” (Rated by Mumsnet user Rainatnight )

Our verdict 

When asked in the forums for potty training tips, the Potette Plus travel potty was mentioned by Mumsnet users time and time again.

An innovative 2-in-1 design with robust, fold-out legs, the Potette Plus Universal Potty and Toilet Training Seat can be used as a full-sized travel potty with disposable liners, or converted to a toilet training seat for a more comfortable public toilet experience for your child. After use, you can simply fold the legs down flat for compact storage, before popping into the hygienic carry bag and continuing on your travels. 

The set includes three lightly scented biodegradable liners, with others sold separately as a pack of thirty . Making potty training almost fun, toddlers love how the pattern on the liner disappears when they get wet, while parents rate how the liquid turns to gel to prevent spills or leaks. With stable feet and a sturdy design that won’t collapse under your toddler’s weight, the Potette Plus is also really straightforward to clean after use.

2. Best budget travel potty: Hippychick Tron Travel Potty

Price on writing: £10 | Buy now from Amazon

Size: ‎ 48 x 24 x 9 cm | Type: Disposable 

Small, lightweight design

Pops out for potty emergencies or during travel 

Made from biodegradable materials 

Supports up to 50kg in weight 

Works out more expensive as a long-term option 

More suited to emergency use during travel 

Less comfortable seat than stand-alone travel potties

“I always took them to the loo if nearby, or took a disposable travel potty. They’re by Hippychick and are very good.”  (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user Astromelia )

If you’re going camping, heading to a festival or planning a long car journey where your toddler needs to last longer between toilet trips, you may want to opt for an affordable disposable travel potty that will be easily accessible in case of emergencies. 

These pop-out travel potties from Hippychick are a really practical solution - a convenient, fully-lined cardboard design that simply folds out to create a disposable potty when required. 

Surprisingly sturdy, the Tron disposable potties can actually hold weights of up to 50kg, making them suitable even for older children if required. They’re also small enough to stash inside your coat pocket or handbag, so they won’t take up valuable storage space in your car.

3. Best foldable travel potty: Pottiagogo Travel Potty 

Price on writing: £15 | Buy now from Amazon

Realistic toilet shape aids the transition from potty to toilet

Includes pack of 20 liners 

Safety lock to hold securely when in use 

Innovative folding design 

Compact for travel 

Requires two hands to fold back up after use 

Additional liners sold separately

“Pottiagogo potties are really light and compact and have disposable liners. Good luck!”  (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user Pegsmum )

With a compact and lightweight design that easily fits underneath your pushchair, the innovative Pottiagogo travel potty opens quickly and easily with a simple one-handed flick. Converting from a flat portable unit to a stand-alone travel potty in seconds, it’s ideal for those emergency toilet trips, car journeys, camping and festivals, even when your toddler has a habit of going from distracted to desperate in seconds. 

With a soft and comfortable toilet seat and a secure safety lock for stability, this travel potty is suitable for children aged 15 months to 5 years. Thanks to its realistic design, it can also help aid their transition to a full-sized toilet. 

With a pack of twenty biodegradable potty liners included, the Pottiagogo is hygienic and easy to clean. It does require two hands to fold back down, however, with two safety buttons that need to be depressed simultaneously to compress.

4. Best travel potty seat: OXO Tot 2-in-1 Go Potty

Price on writing: £49 | Buy now from Amazon

Size: 27.3 x 25cm | Type: 2-in-1 potty and toilet seat

2-in-1 potty and toilet seat

Quick to open for toilet emergencies

Moulded seat with a splatter guard 

Flaps hold disposable liners in place during use

Some reviewers felt it sat a little low to the ground for their toddlers

“I had this one for my daughter. So handy and compact; I just had it in my rucksack with a few normal pedal bin liners. Great for car journeys, using in public loos, travelling and everyday use.”  (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user HairyFeline )

“I have a folding potty which you line with a bag, or you can use it on a toilet seat to make it smaller. Oxo Tot. It's been amazing!! Useful for when you're out & not near a toilet.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user Topjoe19 )

Thanks to its folding legs, this compact and portable travel potty converts from a potty to a toilet training seat in seconds, with the legs locking outwards to fit the majority of public toilets.

While this OXO Tot potty is fairly hard to come by and as a result doesn’t come cheap, Mumsnet users praised its compact and portable design that allows them to take it with them wherever they go. 

We love how the disposable liners (sold separately) are conveniently held in place thanks to the flexible flaps on both sides of the seat. With a smooth surface and splatter guard, it's also easy to keep clean and hygienic, no matter how much it gets used on your travels.

5. Best travel potty for car journeys: My Carry Potty 

Price on writing: £29 | Buy now from Amazon

Size: 26 x 15cm | Type: Stand alone travel potty  

Choice of bright and colourful designs 

Carry handle for portability

Secure locking mechanism and leakproof seal 

No disposable liners required 

Large comfortable seat 

Quite bulky for younger ones to carry by themselves 

“We have a My Carry Potty. Son loves it and uses it everywhere: in the park, in the woods, down the bottom of our (massive) garden. He prefers it over standing but will also happily sit on a toilet at home or in public”  (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user Kindofcrunchy )

“We have a My Carry Potty. My son is a bit funny about using toilets and often has an urgent need for a poo. He won't be able to use it for too much longer as he's quite big for it (he's four in August) but I like the security it brings.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user mynameiscalypso ) 

“My Carry Potty is the best. It just goes in the bottom of the pram. It’s good not faffing with bags/having to clean it immediately because it’s all just sealed away.” (Rated by Mumsnet user Jujujuly )

When it comes to child appeal, they don’t come more child-friendly than the bright and fun characters from My Carry Potty, with a wide range of super-cute designs including everything from brightly coloured blocks to dinosaurs, penguins and ladybirds. 

This multi-award winning potty may be a bit more bulky to carry than some, however, kids love the portable carry handle, allowing them to take it with them wherever they go. A stand-alone, bag-free design, the seat is large and comfortable with an integrated splash guard suitable for children from 15-36 months. 

We love the secure locking mechanism and leakproof, water-tight seal, helping keep the contents (and odours) fully contained until you reach a convenient place to empty it.

6. Best compact travel potty: The Whizzer by Kiddiwhizz 

Price on writing: £20 | Buy now from Amazon

Size: ‎7 x 7 x 13 cm | Type: Handheld potty

Lightweight, compact, portable design

Suitable for children up to 8 years

Moulded design for privacy

Leakproof when full 

Easy to clean

Handheld design may be less suited to younger children or toddlers with questionable aim

Some reviewers felt the bottle should be bigger 

“I've recently bought a Whizzer to take with us instead of the travel potty - good to have an option in the back pocket if he literally can't relax enough to urinate in a public loo” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user IvanTheDragon )

“These are brilliant and saw me through potty training both my girls!” (Recommended by Mumsnet user FinallyMrsE ) 

Our verdict

Available in a choice of colours, this handheld travel toilet is made from high-grade silicone and is quickly assembled to create a convenient travel toilet for car journeys, camping or anywhere your child may need a wee outside of the home. 

With a compact design that is small enough to pop inside your handbag, you simply peel off the lid and attach the spout before use. Designed to be used in an upright standing position; the privacy shield allows discrete use for both boys and girls. 

While some users felt the container could be bigger, it can hold up to 250ml, which the brand claims reflects the average size of an eight-year-old’s bladder - plenty to accommodate potty-training children. Completely leak-free when full, you can simply empty and clean the Whizzer when you reach your destination.

Not as sturdy as one-piece toilet seat reducers 

“You can get folding toilet seats for toddlers. Ours lives in my changing bag as my son is very slight and feels unsteady on toilets even if I hold him and so refuses to use them without a toddler seat.”  (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user Hedgeh0g )

Suitable for kids from 12 months to eight years, this foldable toilet seat is ideal for travelling away from home, creating a hygienic and practical toilet solution for use at service stations, hotels, restaurants or other public toilets.

Stored in its own portable travel pouch, it takes up very little space in your bag, before opening out to create a cute, child-friendly frog character and a familiar toilet training aid for your toddler. 

This comfortable and hygienic toilet seat has non-slip pads that hold the seat securely in place during use, allowing your toddler to use the toilet independently without needing to be held. 

8. Best travel potty for comfort: Potette Max 3-in-1 Potty

Disposable liners can be expensive to buy separately 

If you’re looking for a comfortable full-sized potty that can be used both inside and outside the home, the Potette Max 3-in-1 potty is the ideal choice, with an intelligent design that converts from a home potty to a travel potty and even a toilet training seat for use in public toilets.

The lightweight and compact nature of the Potette Max makes it easy to move around the home, using the hygienic hard liner that allows you to safely dispose of the contents and clean the potty between each use. 

When used outside the home, this versatile potty training tool comes with three biodegradable liners and a travel bag for complete convenience. Just like the Potette Plus, we love how the pattern on the liner disappears when they get wet. 

When visiting public toilets, you can also quickly convert this potty to a training seat by simply folding the legs out flat

Size: 30 x 17 x 24 cm | Type: Stand alone potty  

Handle and spout make it easy to empty

Comfortable seat with a high splash guard 

More suitable for use in the home 

The bulkier design doesn't fold flat 

Less portable than some official travel potties above 

“You can get a Pourty, which is a potty that’s designed to be emptied easily.”  (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user OhhhPeee )

Whilst not technically a travel potty, the Pourty potty has a unique easy-to-empty design that makes it convenient to use, even outside of the home. 

With a sturdy plastic design with a wide spacious seat and splash guard, this potty has a carry handle and pouring duct that allows you to wash away the contents after use. Even better, it doesn’t pour over the areas your child is likely to touch - making it more hygienic and easy to clean.

Whilst it's less compact and portable to use outside the home, it may be a good option for toddlers who are less comfortable using ‘non-familiar’ toilets outside the home. 

What are travel potties for?

An important part of your toddlers’ toilet training journey, a travel potty is a compact, portable and sometimes foldable potty that can easily be used outside of the home - whether that's as a stand-alone potty or a seat reducer for use on a traditional public toilet. 

For toddlers who are early into their toilet training journey and may get caught short, travel potties provide a comfortable and familiar experience when using the toilet outside, on holiday or during travel. 

What types of travel potty are available?

There are a variety of travel potty options and which is right for you will depend upon your child's age, size and stage of potty training 

Disposable travel potties - These are best suited for occasional/emergency use, such as a long car journey with a recently potty-trained toddler who hasn’t yet been tested over longer periods. Whilst relatively affordable, they obviously work out more expensive if used over the long term and aren’t the most sustainable choice.

Foldable/collapsable travel potties - With some big plus points for portability, these travel potties collapse down flat or have legs that fold in to make them more compact and easy to carry when not in use. 

Stand-alone travel potty - Whilst these don’t tend to fold down flat, these more robust travel potties are often more comfortable for toddlers, with large seats that are more similar in nature to a traditional toilet. Some require emptying immediately after use, while others have a seal to prevent leakage until you reach home or a convenient place to empty and clean.

Seat reducer / portable travel seat - Ideal for children who are confident using a potty but may feel less comfortable on a full-sized public toilet, these fold-out seats can be placed on top of the traditional toilet seat to reduce the size. These can help children feel more independent when using public toilets, without the need to be held by a parent. 

Multipurpose 2-in-1/ 3-in-1 seats - The most versatile choice, these designs can adapt to your child’s needs as they grow, switching between a potty and toilet training seat as required for use both inside and outside the home. 

Things to consider when choosing a travel potty

How old is your child? - What stage is your child at in their toilet training journey? If you’re planning to use a travel potty with an older child, you’ll need to check the weight or size limits to ensure they offer a safe and comfortable fit. 

How portable is it? - How easy is the travel potty to carry? Does it fold down flat or include a carry bag? Can it fit into your bag or basket of your pushchair for convenience? Consider how you want to transport it and look for more compact designs if you’re limited on space or prefer a more discrete potty. 

How easy is it to clean/empty? - How easy is the travel potty to clean? Does it need to be emptied immediately or can it contain the contents and odours until you return home? 

Does it require liners?  - Does it require the use of disposable liners and if so, are any included with the purchase? It’s worth considering how much the liners cost to replace and factor this into the overall cost. Other designs such as the My Carry Potty can be used without liners, but tend to be a little more bulky as a result. 

How easy is it to use? - For designs that fold out or convert, how easy are they to use? Can they be set up quickly in the event of a toilet emergency? How robust are they and do they have non-slip feet that can hold it securely in place during use?

How comfortable is it for your child? - Does it provide a comfortable and familiar base for your child to sit on during use? Is the seat spacious enough and how similar does it feel to an adult toilet?

Does it adapt to your child’s needs as they grow? - Can the potty convert to a toilet training seat/seat reducer as your child grows in confidence? 

How much does it cost? - How much are you willing to spend? Some parents prefer to opt for a budget-friendly choice for occasional or emergency use only, whereas you may be willing to spend a little more if you spend a lot of time outside the home with your toddler. 

Tips for getting out and about while potty training

Spending time outside the home whilst potty training can be challenging, but here are some of Mumsnet users’ best tips to make the experience run smoothly. 

1. Take your child to the toilet at regular intervals 

Toddlers can’t necessarily go for a ‘just in case’ wee like adults do, however offering the toilet regularly or simply reminding your toddler that a toilet is close by can help reduce the risk of accidents. 

“I would just take him to the toilet really regularly. There are toilets on most trains, in some stations, and all museums.” (Tip from Mumsnet user Hopeislost )

2. Bring the travel potty

Taking a travel potty with you, even if you don’t end up using it can provide additional reassurance and peace of mind.

“ Just bring a potty with you and keep asking them if they need to use it. The less fuss you make and the more you keep up with your usual routine the quicker they'll learn. People make the mistake of staying in with trousers off all week, but then forget they still need to learn to stay dry when out the house.” (Suggestion from Mumsnet user strongcupofTea )

3. Don’t be afraid to take pull-ups

If you’re likely to spend a significant amount of time travelling where toilet stops can be unpredictable, don’t be afraid to use a pull-up, even if over their normal pants. This can provide a backup in the event of an accident. 

“We had some long journeys and in those situations, we used pull-ups over normal pants and called them 'travel pants'. We didn't let on that they were absorbent / like nappies but they were useful for reassurance (ours, not the children’s) in case we couldn't make the loo in time. Wearing them over pants means they don't feel like nappies and avoid confusion.”  (Advice from Mumsnet user Elevenplusdilemma )

4. Take spare pants and nappy sacks 

Accept that sometimes potty training takes practice. With all the will in the world, your child may get distracted and forget they need the toilet before it's too late. Take spare clothes and knickers with you on your travel, along with somewhere to stash soiled clothing in the event of an accident.

“Along with spare underwear and pants, take a bunch of nappy sacks. You don't want wet wee-stinking clothes loose in your bag!” (Tip from Mumsnet user MooseBreath )

What is the best travel potty to buy?

Our top pick for a travel potty is the Potette Plus thanks to its stable yet compact and portable design that adapts to your child’s needs as they grow.
