If you’re flicking through the current Issue 27 Summer 2011 issue of ‘Out & About with Kids’ magazine you might notice the Potette Plus.
Whats hot for baby, page 25 ‘This portable potty and toilet trainer seat in one is perfect for assisting children with toilet training at home or on-the-go. The full size folding potty comes in a hygienic carry bag with super absorbent lines that can simply be tied up after use and thrown away allowing you to keep your routine, where-ever you are.’
The Potette Plus is a unique product, allowing for ease of use and clean up. Available now at Little Gulliver. RRP $19.95 (includes 2 liners and a carry bag). Don’t forget to grab a handy extra pack of liners while you’re there!
While this mag is always a good read for parents keen to get away, this edition has an Out & About with baby feature, including an informative article ‘Have Toddlers will Travel’.
If you’re flicking through the Summer 2010/11 issue of ‘Disney Family Fun’ magazine you might notice some of our popular products…

* Eat Street – page 88 Cheeki stainless steel drink bottles. See our ‘Mealtime’ category here.
Both practical and the great prices make them popular with parents and kids alike!

Hi Karon,
I haven’t seen the ‘Toddler Travel n Trundle’ available in Australia – they do look great though.
Other products to consider could be;
KinderKot – they are recommended up to 4 years, so check whether it may suit size-wise, you may be on the upper limits. It has a self inflating mattress, so seems quite comfortable. The only negative feedback I have heard on these is they can be complex to pack up – but I imagine you could get quite good at it after a few months! I like the idea of this if the child may be sharing a bedroom with you, the cover sort of creates some privacy. But for the same reason, a four year old may not like the cover and feel a little squashed or closed in?
Kindy Kamper – They have a new ‘Kindy Kamper Traveller’, which suits up to 5 years. I have heard good things about these, but haven’t seen one myself.
Regalo Portable Child Bed – This folds up quite small and light, you could team it with a sleeping bag etc. It suits up to a 6 year old and comes with a fitted sheet and travel bag. If you are interested in this one, let me know as I am looking to stock them at Little Gulliver.
Aerobed Sleepover – This inflatable bed rolls up into a backpack and comes with its own pump. We have a bigger size and find them great. Just make sure it isn’t “played” on and take a repair kit. We use a pool repair kit on ours – we have repaired it once (near the valve) and have had no more trouble.
Dream Tubes – these are ‘blow up’ bed rails, which you could use of your child was in their own bed during the trip. At 4 your child may be in a single bed at home anyway (and be used to the height of the bed and not likely to fall out), but these may be handy on the road if you are using a junior bed at home.
I haven’t used any of these products myself, but certainly they are all worth a look. I hope you find the information useful and have a wonderful time overseas! Apologies for my delay in replying, we’re just getting back on board after the Christmas / New Year break.
Also, I’d love to hear what you end up deciding on and how the trip goes! It’s so easy to be jealous in this job…
Regards,
Donna
