Potty Training and Car Seats

[LuciaBella]

So, Lucia is basically potty trained...except for the car nap where there's a big wet accident in my car. Is there ANY sort of device or something I can put under her tooshy to prevent me having to wash the cover every time this happens? There has got to be like a plastic liner or something
help!

What kind of seat is she in?

It's just when she naps? Can you predict when she'll fall asleep? I think your best bet would be put a diaper or training pants on her for those rides where she may fall asleep. A plastic cover/pad wouldn't do much to contain a big pee. This is what I've been doing with my DS--underwear for shorter trips/times I can stop frequently enough, and a diaper when he'll be falling asleep.

I'll don my flameproof suit and admit that with Bug, we used the Kiddopatomus (sp?) Piddle Pad in her carseat for quite a while.

I'd lay a diaper open under her.

Use a wetpad thing for burping. Very similar to puddle pad, but we already had them. Bought in baby area at target/walmart. They come in pack of 3+ and are cheaper then puddle pad and you can pull it forward to protect belly pad on Britaz seats.

I bought some small size puppy pads at Walmart. We ended up not needing them. They are about the same size as the Piddle pad but thinner and disposable.

With Katie, I snipped open a Walmart bag and sat it in the seat under her. It's super thin, protects the seat (does make some crinkly noises though), and cheap!
I've also put a pullup over her clothes once. That was a bit more difficult.

Thats an excellent idea :thumbsup:

She's RF in a Radian 65.

She also has accidents while awake, so I would need something in there all the time and its a hassle to put a pull up/diaper on her just for rides. We try to go potty before/after we arrive and leave.

We had the same problem with my ds. It solved itself before I found a good solution, but someone recommended just using a disposable chaux pad. You can buy the depends brand of bed pads in packages for pretty cheap.

would it be ok for me to lay a prefold in the seat under him? we're just starting Potty training. and use cloth diapers, so I have a lot of infant prefolds.

Since she's in a Radian you could use a Sunshine Kids "Dry Seat"--their equivalent of the piddle pad. I bought one for my Radian in anticipation of my niece starting potty training. Not ideal but it's not very thick (I believe it's thinner than the piddle pad). Good luck with the PT!

Yep, that's what we did with DD1 and are doing with DD2. Prefolds work great :thumbsup:

I just asked this on the int forum recently

I was just going to say, I have the Radian and that dry seat thing, but it doesn't fit just right in my radian 65, I wondered if it were only for the bigger radians? So I no longer use it with the radian (not that I use the radian too often anyway, but) I use it in the strollers and it is not very absorbant. If #1 pees, it goes all the way through, I still have to take the fabric off and let it air dry.

:yeahthat: I bought one to use on the plane while DS was still diapered. (He had a habit of peeing through his diaper.) The Dry Seat couldn't even handle the overflow from his diaper - his seat still got wet even though the diaper absorbed most of it. :thumbsdown: I can't imagine it would do anything for a full-on accident with underwear.
