I know exactly what you are going through. I potty trained my son seven months ago and had the same worries you do. I got the travel potty and it was excellent. I found if I went shopping I would ask him to sit on it before we left the house, then if he needed it in the middle of the supermarket I'd rush off to the toilet as quick as possible and whip out the travel potty there (away from the fruit and veg isle!) I only needed it for about a week as he decided he wanted to use the big toilet, so that was a lot easier. Now he's able to hold on if we are driving somewhere or until I can find a toilet!
Also may be worth taking a spare change of clothes with you. We did on occasion have a couple of accidents to begin with!
Well, no offense but I would not suggest letting your child go potty in any public area. That is what restrooms are for. Take her out for short trips to places you frequent and test the waiting on how long it takes her to have to go in between leaving and arriving at places. Each time you go, ask her if she can hold it for 5 more minutes. That is the best advice I can think of. I used pullups with my child and never forced potty training on her. She actually potty trained herself when she was ready and she was ready fast too. Most places have public bathrooms and you can always set your potty seat in there. That would be more appropraite in my opinion. Good luck:)
I no it sonds harsh but now she is dry at home get rid of any potty you have and encourage her to use the toilet at home and when your out thats what i did you will be suprised how quickly it works.If your worried jut keep a spare set of clothes in the car
