http://www.raisingbakersfield.com/home/Blog/bushelandapeck/30087 A few months ago we participated in the Relay&nbsp;for Life with some dear friends.&nbsp; For those of you who don't know, each team is assigned a campsite on the C.S.U.B. soccer fields.&nbsp; As we brainstormed what our team would need to take, my first question was &quot;What is the toilet situation out there?&quot;&nbsp; I soon learned that the American Cancer Society supplied outhouses for all the participants.&nbsp;&nbsp; Well, that just wasn't going to do for out preschooler.&nbsp; I was not going to have her use an outhouse - it disgusts me enough when I have to use one.&nbsp; I could not imagine my being in that 2 x 2 foul smelling area trying to hang onto my daughter so she wouldn't fall down into the sewage.&nbsp; My brilliant friend, Superha (here on RB) had a simple solution to my potty problem:&nbsp; Potty on the Go by Fisher Price.&nbsp; She kept hers at the campsite for the weekend, and all the kids used it.&nbsp; I'd never seen it before the Relay weekend, but I had to have one.&nbsp; This thing is beautiful.&nbsp; It is a life saver.&nbsp; It is one of the greatest inventions.&nbsp; This little potty has three sturdy legs which fold up under the seat for storage, and it comes with a neat carrying case.&nbsp; A bag fits between the seat and the potty base for catching the wee wee and poo poo,&nbsp;and an absorbent pad is placed&nbsp;at the bottom of the bag to prevent free flowing urine.&nbsp;&nbsp;When the child is finished doing the duty, the bag can easily be tied and thrown away.&nbsp; (When we're on the road, and there is no trash can around, I double or triple the bag, and then I toss it later.) So this last weekend, the hubby, kiddo and I traveled to Redding.&nbsp; I've always preferred taking I-5, but the 99 has more pit stops.&nbsp; However, with Potty on the Go, we didn't have to worry if there was&nbsp; a decent pit stop.&nbsp; In fact, I've pulled over to the side of the road, whipped out the Potty, and had the kiddo pee right there.&nbsp; (It sure beats an accident in the car seat!)&nbsp; So, this trip, it was I-5 all the way.&nbsp; The POTG makes traveling so much easier. Also, I've used the POTG in the Target parking lot.&nbsp; We had just returned to our van, unloaded the bags, and the kiddo yells, &quot;I need to go weeeeeeee!!!!!&quot;&nbsp; I had just asked her inside the store if she needed to&nbsp;go.&nbsp; I was trying to get home in time for I don't remember what, but I was in a hurry.&nbsp; So instead of going back into the store, I simply took out the POTG.&nbsp; So simple.&nbsp; Everyone was happy.&nbsp; And what else is great about POTG?&nbsp; It's only $20.&nbsp; Yeah.&nbsp; An absolutely amazing invention such as this is so cheap.&nbsp; Gotta love it. If you take a look at the potty, you'll see that there are special bags&nbsp; and pads that come with it.&nbsp; Truth be told, those are not necessary.&nbsp; A good ol' Target or Vons bag will do, and instead of a pad, stuff a couple of paper towels in it to soak up the pee.&nbsp; There is no need to special order anything for this potty. I highly, highly, highly recommend the Potty on the Go if you travel with a toddler/preschooler or you are repulsed by many public restrooms like I am, and you'd rather have your child pee on a bush than use a filthy toilet. &nbsp; A few months ago we participated in the Relay&nbsp;for Life with some dear friends.&nbsp; For those of you who don't know, each team is assigned a campsite on the C.S.U.B. soccer fields.&nbsp; As we brainstormed what our team would need to take, my first question was &quot;What is the toilet situation out there?&quot;&nbsp; I soon learned that the American Cancer Society supplied outhouses for all the participants.&nbsp;&nbsp; Well, that just wasn't going to do for out preschooler.&nbsp; I was not going to have her use an outhouse - it disgusts me enough when I have to use one.&nbsp; I could not imagine my being in that 2 x 2 foul smelling area trying to hang onto my daughter so she wouldn't fall down into the sewage.&nbsp; My brilliant friend, Superha (here on RB) had a simple solution to my potty problem:&nbsp; Potty on the Go by Fisher Price.&nbsp; She kept hers at the campsite for the weekend, and all the kids used it.&nbsp; I'd never seen it before the Relay weekend, but I had to have one.&nbsp; This thing is beautiful.&nbsp; It is a life saver.&nbsp; It is one of the greatest inventions.&nbsp; This little potty has three sturdy legs which fold up under the seat for storage, and it comes with a neat carrying case.&nbsp; A bag fits between the seat and the potty base for catching the wee wee and poo poo,&nbsp;and an absorbent pad is placed&nbsp;at the bottom of the bag to prevent free flowing urine.&nbsp;&nbsp;When the child is finished doing the duty, the bag can easily be tied and thrown away.&nbsp; (When we're on the road, and there is no trash can around, I double or triple the bag, and then I toss it later.)
