When my old co-worker Doug told me about PottyFlip – a portable, disposable potty – I immediately thought about a situation I faced a few weeks prior. I was at the park with my kids, 1 and 4, and the older one had to use the toilet. Number two. We walked hastily over to the building with the public restroom, only to find that it was locked.
My son is not known for his early warnings when it comes to using the bathroom, so I was a little panicked. There happens to be a bunch of construction going on near this park, so I was able to quickly locate an outhouse. Gross. We made do, but it wasn’t my favorite toileting experience of the last year.
Having one of these babies in my car would have saved me from this stress. I’ll be interested to hear what you all think about it.
I’m giving away a 6-pack of these potties. Each one starts about the size of a VHS tape. Then it unfolds into a potty big enough and strong enough to hold a child’s booty – up to 75 pounds. The bag that lines it is bio-degradable as is the rest of the unit.
UPDATE: THE WINNER IS RENEE!.

I’d totally try to get my kid to piss in one of these.
that is AWESOME – brilliant! i’ve always tried to think of something (short of a bucket) that I could use in an emergency and the fact that this is disposable is perfect.
With summer approaching, these sound like just the thing to throw in the old backpack…
I was skeptical until you got to the biodegradable part–I’m interested in giving them a try.
How awesome! We are trying to potty train my 2 yr old. This would totally be handy to have in the car!
How cool is that?
HOW AWESOME Is this Product!?! Plus, it sounds biodegradable. One less thing to put in a landfill.
I’m thinking about potty training soon and these would be great for emergencies.
No WAY! This sounds totally cool. And I’m not easily impressed about potty training. (Unfortunately, neither are my kids.)
Yep, would love this for outside outings instead of wearing a pull-up! (for my 2 year old)
I’ve never heard of these, but they’re worth a shot!
We have a picky 4 year old daughter (“Uuuummmm, squat? No. I don’t squat in the woods. I don’t like camping then.”). Add to that a picky potty training daughter (If she could talk she’d say “if my sister won’t pee in the woods, I won’t either”). We totally need these. This could be the only thing that gets us a few nights sleeping under the stars this summer. And how great for emergencies on a road trip. (We do travel with a Baby Bjorn potty chair but um, eeewww.)
Perfect for summertime adventures!
Exactly what we were looking for- not dealing with a yucky permanent potty (another kid gear- we have 2 kids under 4 and our house is invaded!) but having it readily available in case of emergencies. Sounds like a great product!
These sound great. Will definitely give them a shot.
Please pick me. Even though my 2.5 year old is not potty trained yet….eeeek.
Very cool-I could see us using these when we go camping.
This would be helpful! Thanks for the chance.
This would be great for hiking this summer and for our favorite parks that don’t have bathrooms as we’re starting to potty train.
I have never heard of anything like this. What a great idea!
Wow – this is a great idea!
This would have been so handy just last week! I’d rather not have to resort to using a tree (for number 1 anyway) in the park and risk the work of habit reversal for my little guy later
This would be great for my nephew.

what a great idea— and it can hold a 75 lb. child!
ahh, road trips are looming up for a vacation and this would be great to try out. my friend Alexandra once told me about her childhood roadtrips with her craaaaaaaaazy grandmother who did NOT want to stop.
She had a mayo jar- made them all use it instead of a rest stop or the side of the road behind a tumbleweed! Ha!!!!
I need to win! What a wonderful thing to have on a long car trip with no rest stops for miles….eek!! Thanks for the chance to win!
how awesome would it have been to have this little wonder about 4 hours ago when I had a poop explosion on a walk around the neighborhood. I like that it’s a green product and hold up to 75 lbs. Man that would be a big kid and pooping on a little potty might not be your biggest worry at that point. Thanks for the demo of a family friendly product. hv
