The 10 Best Travel Potty Seats

The innovative Oxo Tot 2-in-1 (about $20) features sturdy legs that lock firmly to create a standalone commode. If you flatten them, nonslip grips underneath help it securely attach to a regular toilet. The splayed legs also give your child a clean area to hold onto.

The underside of the Munchkin Grip (around $15) is specially designed to stay firmly in place whether you have a round or elongated bowl. Another thoughtful feature is the flexible splatter shield so kids in a hurry can slide off without injuring themselves.

The BabyBjörn Trainer (about $35) has a simple, but ergonomic shape that encourages your toddler to sit correctly. There's a handy dial on the back to tweak its shape for a secure fit, and older children should be able to pop it into place on their own.

There's only so much room in a diaper bag, so the Gimars Folding (appx. $15) reduces down to a quarter of its full size and tucks away into a handy waterproof pouch. While it does cut down the size of the seat opening a bit, it may not be enough for early learners under three.

Like putting a bathroom in a briefcase, the Cool Gear Chair (around $31) collapses into a size that can be discreetly carried from one place to another without a lot of fuss. Open it up, drop in a disposable plastic liner, and your toddler is good to go.

For little ones who are less than enthusiastic about potty learning, the Nickelodeon Paw Patrol (around $12) has a cushioned ring for those long sessions waiting for something to happen. Plus you'll find this model in array of other characters from Disney princesses to Sesame Street.

The versatile Primo 4-in-1 (about $29) can be a standalone potty with a lid, or just pop off the blue disc and use it as an on-the-go seat reducer. With all the ways this unit can transform, it has a lot of nooks and crannies to be sanitized, but the seat itself is very smooth.

It would be difficult to find a seat more straightforward than this one-piece option from Jool Baby Products (appx. $12). Its sleek, minimalist design still provides a built-in splash shield and a rubber ring on the base to help keep it from sliding around.

The Kalencom Potette Plus (about $17) is an all-in-one system that works as a trainer seat on a full-sized toilet, or as a stand-alone unit when equipped with a disposable plastic insert, although you really can't secure the bag quickly if your child is having an emergency.

For the youngest learners, the Mommy's Helper Cushie Tushie (about $9) can help them feel more comfortable in a public restroom with its cheerful ducks and padded softness. The opening is pretty tiny, so kids may outgrow it too fast, but it comes at a budget-friendly price
