If your kid is big enough, they can wait by the door or sink, no problem. But the really little ones, what can you do? I've heard dads use the handicap toilets and have their kid in the stall with them as it is. I've even heard the dreaded "taco bell" issue, poor dad and son - dad was making an awful stink and the son was complaining about how bad it was. But what do you do if you're not with your wife??

This sounds doable, you could hang the kid on the othe side of the door as far as I'm concerned, have him/her facing the sinks...]]>Aug 30th 2006 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/Aug 30th 2006 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/Aug 30th 2006 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/Aug 30th 2006 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/Aug 30th 2006 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/Aug 30th 2006 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/Exactly what does an honest-looking stranger look like?

I would hang-up my child on the back of door anyday. Sure beats finding him dumped on a deserted road a few days later.

And besides, what is it with natural bodily functions that we are all so prude about? Sure, i dont call my child in every time i go to the toilet, but every once in a while, if necessesity dictates, what harm can come to him?
OMG, he saw daddy take a dump?
Small wonder the shrinks are so busy.
Ok, gotta go, call of nature...]]>Aug 30th 2006 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/
Has AOL forced the Engadget editors to blog about subjects only pertinent to some new advertiser?

In the Eugene (Oregon) airport they even have a seat for a toddler - like a koala changing table - with belt to hold your kid in the family bathroom stall. When is changing your own mommy diaper (tampon, pad, whatever) this is quite useful. Of course, I am not sure how having them watch that is useful in toilet training.....]]>Aug 30th 2006 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/
but seriously, who writes this article?

you can't put your child on the outside of the stall SOMEONE COULD TAKE THEM. children are abducted in this country all the time.

you can't leave them with a stranger, same reasoning.

they will touch everything, so it's terrible to let htem lose, even in the stall with you.

sometimes you do not have your stroller and sometimes oyu just can't hold it. pregnancy did not make me any less human, you know?

i think it's ingenious. not that i would want to bother carrying one around.

personally, i have been waiting ot pee by myself since i had kids, but since i can't do it anyway, i would much rather have them safe and sanitary!]]>Aug 30th 2006 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/
I wish I could take credit for this, but one of my classmates in broadcast school came up with this as our final project for a commercial. Now I wish we would've chose it. ]]>Aug 30th 2006 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/
"If you guys at Engadget really want to keep reviewing baby products then you really really need to hire a Mom to review them!"

This was so obviously written by someone male or childless, probably both, that it was painful to read!

I wouldn't hang my son on the door, but I wouldn't leave him with a stranger, either. Have you not read the timeless classic "Everyone Poops"? Makes more sense to have him watch and learn that to try to explain what that stuff is and what he's supposed to do with it at a later date. Potty training is tough enough as it is!

But I'm not worried. The vast majority of those childless readers who found this amusing will soon enough find themselves in a stall with a toddler. Sandra and I will have the last laugh!]]>Aug 30th 2006 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/Aug 30th 2006 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/
Avoid putting up any "free kid" signs on it though.

While I wouldn't (and physically couldn't) hang my youngest on the stall door, what first came to mind was the one time in public I peed with some other kid in the stall with me. My kid, I'm OK with it. Someone else's kid that was crawling under the stalls? EWWW!!

I've seen those Koala toddler seats once. Fortunately, the kids I had then were old enough to stand outside by stall door and wait on me so I didn't need it.

There needs to be some way to contain a child while peeing; I'm so tired of floating over the toilet holding a toddler.]]>Aug 31st 2006 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/Aug 31st 2006 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/Aug 31st 2006 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/Aug 31st 2006 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/
I see this as a great idea for infants though, they don't really know what's going on anyway, no harm in watching mommy or daddy pinch off a loaf.]]>Aug 31st 2006 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/Sep 4th 2006 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/[url]http://www.brocar.com/103BQS.htm[/url]]]>Sep 7th 2006 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.brocar.com/103BQS.htm]]>Sep 7th 2006 9:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/the-babykeeper-toilet-training-with-visual-aids/Dec 18th 2006 8:57AM
