When you need it
A travel potty seat becomes useful once your child is potty training and you are out of the house, often from around 2 years. It remains useful until about 5 years, when most kids can manage public toilets confidently.
What to look for
Look for a seat that folds compactly, fits a range of toilet shapes and has a carry bag. Some portable potties can be used on their own with disposable liners, which helps on road trips. Check that it is easy to clean and stable when in use. Choose something your child can practice with at home first.
