toddler travel toilet seat image
Amy27
I need a travel potty seat for my 3 yr old. I have one, but it's just not working for us. It seems there are LOTS of options and I would like to get opinions from other moms about which one is the best. I need something that I can use for car trips, airplane trips, and mostly for using when out shopping or running errands.

Teach your child to sit on a regular toilet. There are no potty seats in daycare/preschool and deffinately none in elementary school. It has been found that children who are used to "potty seats" will not go to the bathroom in school or even wet themselves because they don't have the "familar" potty seats. Best to train your child to the ways of the world than the world trying to accomdate your child.

Unfortunately, that's the most expensive time of year to travel. I have travelled on both United/Lufthansa (Star Alliance) and Northwest/KLM to Kyiv for about the same price, but the service on Northwest/KLM is not good. Others have also found United/Lufthansa to have both the best prices and the best service. My daughters flew to Kyiv at Christmas of 07 and had a terrible experience on Delta/Alitalia. The cost for that time of year might be about $1000/person (but it varies). From Kyiv to Odessa you ride the train and can buy tickets right at the train station in Kyiv. Train travel in Ukraine is very inexpensive, I don't know the exact cost, but tickets weren't more than $50 round trip going anywhere as I recall from 2008. The cost also depends on whether you travel in a seat, in a 6-person open bay, in a 4-person compartment, or in a 2-person compartment. The open bays are a crap shoot on whether there are men drinking heavily all night in the car and on how old the car is. If you don't speak Ukrainian and want some privacy, it's better to book two 4-bed compartments (yes, buy two extra beds). If the kids have never been to Eastern Europe before, the train toilets in the open-bay cars are, well, "not clean and comfortable", to say the least. The more you pay for the train, the better the train toilets are. For boys, it's OK, but if you're travelling with teenage girls.... The trip from Kyiv to Odessa is at least a half dozen hours, so don't think you can "just hold it" for that long. Luggage space is at a premium on all these trains. It's better to have your travel agent get your tickets if you don't speak either Ukrainian or Russian.
