When did you declare your child Toilet Trained? -as in safe to go out without a nappy

[Mum2SweetCs]

Once DD was beginning to toilet train, she refused to wear nappies as we told her it was for babies =(

Anyway, so from the beginning she has been without nappies at the shops ... BUT, OMG do i have to run like hell when she needs to go because she couldnt hold it in.

I usually bring a pair of spare undies and pants because she would wet a bit of her undies.

AND .... at one time we couldnt find the toilet at spotlight and she did a massive puddle in one of the aisles.

So i guess, if you are willing to run like mad and have the occasional embarrassing moment, i guess its ok to try going out without nappies now?

All the best oxoxo

We waited until consistently dry at home - that happened pretty quickly though, perhaps within a week. We then only went short trips with a guaranteed close toilet. Longer trips she still wore a pull-up but I tried to take her to the loo as often as I could. We've only ever had 2 accidents out, both after months of being completely TT. I just got complacent and stopped reminding her and both times she was in the middle of something distracting and fun so I think she put it off till she was so busting it happened then and there - once in a ball-pit at a playcentre!
