Is this too big to use as a portable/travel potty seat?

It is pretty big for that. I wouldn't want to but it's possible. It would fit in a large diaper bag but would take up about half of your space; it's pretty bulky. I have both this and the travel Potette Plus. This Thomas seat is much sturdier (my son fell off of the Potette once) but the Potette is less than half the size when folded. So we continue to carry around the Potette and I just have to hold him while he sits. I do love this Thomas seat, it doesn't move at all on the toilet and the splash guard is perfect.

Depends on how you travel and what you are willing to carry. I bought it specifically thinking it would be good for car travel. I doubt I would want to carry it on a plane, but if you don't have a load of other stuff it could serve that purpose. It might not be the best solution for that.

I think it could be used as a travel seat. It is a bit larger then other potty seats but it still would work.

It is not the best seat to travel with. The shape makes it bulky and difficult to pack. I recommend getting the "Pottette" instead - it is compact and folds easy for travel, and also doubles as a stand-alone potty for emergencies.

Yes and it clips into the toilet seat really snug and doesn't easily come off.

I would think you could put it on an airplane toilet without problem but I don't think you'd want to use it out in the open as a stand up potty. They would be pretty exposed. As for Europe I have no idea. I've never been but I can't think of a reason why not....I mean are their toilets bigger? shaped differently? Seems like it shouldn't matter where you are.

I used this for a girl and she just sat on it. It worked well for that. I don't know if I will use it for my son. I am about to potty train my two year old boy but I think for public toilets, I may just lift him up. A home we are just going to use a stool to stand on.

You could use it as a soft seat but it is a little bulky. It would have to be a long flight or you have something like hip pain to make it worthwhile. Have not tried to get it past TSA.

Yes. It is light enough to carry, but is somewhat bulky; when we traveled, we used handicapped rooms which have higher than normal toilets.

No, using this makes it a little seat. If you fold the legs out it becomes a toilet topper but i don't find it fits well on most toilets.

When I flew with my son the plan was to sit the potty on top of the airplane's closed toilet lid and not the open toilet. The toilet in the plane scared him and the rim is too wide so we never used it on the airplane...

No not at all our daughter never had an issue with it. All it really is is a somewhat raised smooth plastic hump in the front it's not in their way or on them or anything. Our daughter is five and a half 40 pounds and 39" tall and she still uses it with no problem if we are on a road trip and she has to go on the side of the road or when she's at her grandparent's house because they only have one bathroom and she might need to go while someone is in there so it should work perfectly for your little one too. This is the best potty ever by the way!

no. if you don't have a kid who needs the smaller seat then this is not the toilet seat for you.

Hmm, I've never tried, but I suspect it's only for standalone use. We love it as a potty seat, though!

When it's set up for a stand alone potty it's only about 5-6" tall. It's the same height as the other kinds of potty chairs you see that are not convertible like this one. We have one and love how it has disposable liners for travel, but it's terribly uncomfortable to sit on top of a normal potty for longer periods of time when you are first starting to potty train.

We love it, but it's really a little tub that fits into a regular sized tub, not so much a baby pool. That might be perfect for what you want for traveling, but wanted to make sure you knew it was relatively small. Not a bad idea, though to use it the way you are planning. It is pretty well made and sturdy for an inflatable tub, though there is no real cushion on the bottom (you may not need that anyway).

This diaper bag is a smaller scale than most, making it good for quick trips where you don't want to lug around a big bag. I use mine for a 3 yr old and a newborn and can fit 2 pull-ups, 3-4 diapers, wipes, cream, outfit change for each kid, small blanket or nursing cover, and keys, wallet, and phone. For me this is basically a bigger purse that can hold my kids' stuff while running errands for a few hours. I find that when I try to use it for a full day outing, I can't fit everything and need to use my bigger bag.

In addition. I've used it when traveling but it doesn't really take the place of a highchair, especially for the long term.

Yes, yes and yes. It is a little big for a diaper bag, but it rolls or packs up pretty small and comes in its own clear carry case and is nice to leave in the car. And it is easy to put on a cart. It is a little big for a restaurant high chair, but works for that, too.

No. It's too big. It is the width of a hallway. They often have bassinets in front seats of long/big flights if you are traveling with an infant.

I have not used it for travel, but it is a pretty small profile and I would think it would fit under the seat without a problem.
