MCGMITT Portable Travel Potty: Two Products in One, at a Size Cost

There are two completely different toilet problems when travelling with a newly trained toddler, and most products only solve one.

Problem one: there is no toilet. Roadside, trailhead, a traffic jam on the interstate. You need a potty that stands on its own.

Problem two: there is a toilet, but it is an adult one and your child will not sit on a hole they can fall into. You need a reducer seat.

The MCGMITT costs $19.54 and does both.

How we assessed this

We have not personally tested this potty. This is built from the manufacturer's published specification. Full methodology: How We Research.

Quick verdict

Dual-mode is the reason to buy this rather than a seat-only reducer. Legs down, it is a potty that stands anywhere. Legs folded, it sits on an adult toilet as a reducer. You carry one object instead of two.

The details are sensible: a three-point frame with TPR non-slip feet so it does not skate on tile, a soft EVA seat rather than moulded plastic that a child recoils from, a splash guard that works for boys and girls, and 20 disposable bags included so it is usable from the first day.

The cost is bulk. Folded, this is thicker than a reducer-only seat, and that matters if you are fighting for carry-on space.

What you get

The non-slip feet are the spec that actually matters. A potty that slides on a hotel bathroom floor when a toddler sits down produces exactly one accident and then a child who refuses to use it again. Stability is not a luxury feature in potty training — it is the whole product.

Honest trade-offs

Bulk when folded. Thicker than a reducer-only seat. If you only ever need reducer mode, buy a reducer.

Bags are a running cost. 20 gets you started; after that you are buying refills or improvising with a liner and absorbent pad.

Standalone mode means cleaning. Even with a bag, you handle it. That is unavoidable for any standalone potty.

We cannot tell you about the hinge durability. How the locking legs hold after months of folding needs real use. Check recent buyer feedback on the retailer's page.

Who should skip it

• Anyone who only needs reducer mode — a fold-flat reducer packs smaller and costs less.
• Families past the accident stage — if your child reliably uses public toilets, this is dead weight.
• Flight-only travellers with strict carry-on limits — hotel bathrooms usually allow a reducer alone.
• Anyone still in nappies — this is a training-stage product; a changing pad serves better.

Final verdict

Twenty dollars for a potty that covers both travel toilet scenarios, with stability details that are right and bags included, is good value at the point in parenting when this problem is urgent.

Buy it if you are actively potty training and travelling. Skip it if your child only ever needs help with adult toilets — a reducer alone is smaller and cheaper.
