Traveling with toddlers & potty training?




wrknhrdngt


I've heard that there's a website that lists travel destinations that are good for families with kids, rates them on the availability and accessibility to restrooms. We just spent a week traveling with a potty-training 2-year old and had an awful time finding open public restrooms and businesses (other than restaurants) that would let us use their restrooms--even when we were clearly getting ready to buy merchandise. Has anyone else heard of this site? I can't remember who sponsors it. Thanks!

from what I am finding for toddlers or potty training the all inclusive places are best because it's already all paid for you can use whatever restroom is close by and not have to worry about having to purchase something from a merchant on Rodeo drive because your child needs to pee!

I need advice about traveling with a potty training toddler.....?

My son is 3 and is doing really well with potty training. This Friday, we will be flying cross-country (4 hours in the air). I don't know what to do with the whole potty training thing while flying. We won't be able to get up every 30 minutes to go to the bathroom. Should I just put him back in a Pull-up or deal with the accidents we may have with him in regular underwear?


Answer
With my son, I would notice changes in his behaviour when he needed to go to the bathroom...even when he wasn't potty trained. He would fidget a little more. I would put him in the pull ups but explain to him that it doesn't mean he can just go poop or pee in them, they are just like underwear but just while they are on the plane. Try taking him before you get on the plane and say "let's just try to go pee or poop before we get on the plane". Give them credit, they understand alot more than we think sometimes. Once you get on the plane, try again before you get into your seat. Try him about 15-20 minutes after he's had something to drink. I'm sure there's no problem you taking him a little more often than the average person goes to the washroom during a flight. buy or bring his potty cover so that you can place it on top of the seat to make it easier. Best of luck to you, hope it all works out.

I need to make a toy car travel a certain distance (16m).?




HKC


I am powering the car using a bottle and pumping air into it and then releasing the air. The car will move in a straight line on carpet. I need to know how to CALCULATE how much pressure is required for the car to move 16m. and then calculate the energy stored in the bottle.


Answer
HKC;
Fun project. If you know the air pressure in the bottle, then release the car and measure how far it travels. The distance will be determined by pressure, any friction in the system, including the carpet, and wheel bearings, if any.
Repeated several times and averaged, this will be your empirical data, and you can then determine the distance for other pressures, and car weights, floor surfaces, etc.

Toy Car Race?




LeetKid


Jack, Jill, And Tom each have a battery-operated toy car. The cars always travel in a straight line at a constant rate of speed. They decided to have a race. Each car started at the same time at the beginning of a straight race course. When Jill's car crossed the finish line, it was ahead of jack's car by 24 inches and was ahead of tom's car by 32 inches. when jack's car crossed the finish line, it was ahead of tom's car by 10 inches. How many inches long is the race course?


Answer
120 inches, 32-24=8 and 10-0=10, so Tom falls behind 2 inches for every 24 inches traveled by Jill, by the end Tom is behind by 10 inches so 24x5= 120.
