Well, we are back in Texas after a 3600 mile road trip across the USA coupled with staying in a 120 yr-old farmhouse with sixteen relatives and one bathroom. Note to parents: Teach your kids at a VERY young age to go potty in a plastic bag. It makes life a lot easier.

Missed y'all.

I've found that a gatoraid bottle works well too. But don't try to dump it out your window while going 65+ mph.

Its easier when they're boys, right?

I'll bet that a creative parent could jury-rig a combination child's potty seat, small bucket and a plastic bag.

Even a coffee can and a plastic bag could be handy.

My wife and I put a porta-potty in the back of our van. It works out good for both sexes.

You could always equip them like a crazy astronaut with Depends !! Yeah, right.

We keep one of these in the car.

And have taken it hiking and camping. It works great with a plastic bag and a disposable diaper inside.

Welcome back. I'd have been a hole-diggin' fool. grin Too bad there weren't still any working outhouses left on the premises.

It’s probably best to use a bottle from some other beverage that is not supposed to be yellow. We wouldn’t want anyone mistaking urine in a Gatorade bottle to be “situation normal” and take a swig, would we? shocked

You ever notice those partially empty bottles of "apple juice" laying alongside of the highways? It isn't apple juice...
