Chloe, I'm not sure how "typical" Jack is, but he is actually much better away from home. We have had outings with him in undies quite a few times, even before he was seriously TTing. Often he would get really upset about going out in a nappy and would insist on undies, so I decided to bite the bullet. We have not had one accident when out (knock on wood). He is espcially good at day care, as most of the other kids there use the toilet, so he loves to do it too. In fact he's never had an accident there either. His carer told me yesterday that they all sit there and compare undies LOL! So I guess it depends on how brave you are (I know I am always a nervous wreck), but it's something that you need to face sooner or later so maybe it's worth a try? GL!!
