The first trip out during potty training can feel intimidating, but it gets easier fast with a simple plan covering travel potties, public bathrooms, and routines on the road.
Summer can feel easier with fewer layers, but winter training works just as well when you plan for layers. The key is not the season, it is how fast your child can get to the potty.
