the small urinals

[fireflymedic]

I wish disney would have put the low urinals about 2 inches lower, I had to have my 2 and 3 yr. old stand on by feet so there "you know whats" did not touch the porcilin.

Does any one know of a 3 or 4 inch step stool that folds up? something that would fit under a stroller.

I cant tell you how much this scared me, almost wanted to take thim into the woods to do there busness on a tree

This thread will be legendary. I can feel it!

I say stand him on a toilet set and let er rip! Adults can't hit the water so why should the younglings.

In all seriousness, I give serious props to Kings Island, near Cincinnati, OH. In Nickelodeon Universe, they have an awesome restroom designed with little tykes in mind. They have lower toilets and urinals and the sinks are just the right height.

If I were President, every public restroom would have to the floor urinals and child friendly sinks.

If you really feel you need something, take a styrofoam block in a plastic shopping bag; then toss the bag after use.

I'm usually very blase about the germs in public bathrooms, but carrying around something that has been on the floor under a urinal crosses even my line.

gezzz I never thought of that, your right.

I just dont like thim haveing there manhood withen a fraction of an inch of that porcilin.

would rather my kids never get a std but at least waite till there not virgins to get it

I realy wanted to just put a pull up on thim and tell thim to go in there pants but they are getting so good about using bathrooms and so proud of there big boy pants I couldnt do it

and If i let thim stand on the lid I knowfor sure one of thim would slip and now I would have public toilit water up to there knees

there just realy isnt a good option

Why don't you let them sit on the toilet until they are tall enough for the urinal? Or stand in front of the toilet in the stall?

I don't see how the urinal is the only option but maybe I am missing something.

 

[scrapquitler]

Oh my, I NEVER would have worried about this. Instead of worrying about dragging a stool or something around the park all week, why not have them just stand by a regular toilet? If they aren't tall enough to have enough clearance, how about you just give them a little boost and pick them up?? Is this really such a big deal?

WOW!
UMMMM...ever heard of the environment.
AND
You'd have to carry like 10 blocks into the park in the A.M.
WHY
on earth can't they piss in a regular toilet like they do at home?​

as far as the toilet they are not low enough to not touch either, and now instead of just urine you have fecal matter to worry about. Its not a problim at home I go over the tolit with a clorox wipe every day so its clean, they also have a step stool at home.

What I did was have thim stand on MY feet that got thim highenough, but if you know children this age they want to do every thing by THIMSELFS and realy didnt want to stand on my feet. and if they peed out of there belly butuns than those urnals would have been fine.


Its no biggie we made due, just it would not have costed DW a dime to put the urinals 3 or 4 inches lower is all. Guess they did not expect todlers at the park when they built the bathrooms

 

[Kit'smommy]

Not another restroom thread. NOOOOO!

Why can't they use the potty in the stall like they do at home? I doubt my now 5 year old used a urinal before he started going in the boy's room at school.

ETA:

I just saw where you said they weren't tall enough to not touch the potty. Interestly, enought this has never been an issue for my small child, so I am surprised you have an issue with this. Anyway, just carry some clorox wipes if you are that worried.

If you had read my response more closely, you would have seen that I really didn't think it was necessary at all, but people who are concerned with issues like this tend to be really serious about it. Personally, I don't have any issue with touching public toilets or touching any fixture in a public restroom; washing our hands has always been enough for us. No toilet paper barriers, no seat covers, no antibacterial gels, no foot flushing; anyone who knows me will tell you I'm just the most horribly nonchalant parent on the planet when it comes to public toilets. Just wipe properly and wash your hands and everything else is forgotten.

My recommendation *if* the poster was that determined to provide a step, was to take *1* styrofoam block, and to put the block into a grocery sack each time it was used, so as to provide a barrier between the block and floor, not to guard against germs, which are everywhere and unavoidable, but to avoid carrying around other people's stale urine. The average child isn't going to be peeing so many times in a day that this would really have an outsize impact on the environment, given how much trash a Disney park generates in one day. However, for the sake of environmental stewardship, I'll offer my and my childrens' lifetime quota of extra toilet paper, toilet seat covers and antibacterial gel bottles as a carbon offset exchange for this one poster's use of a handful of plastic grocery sacks.

The only reason that I even offered the idea was that the poster was planning to put the stepstool in the stroller basket. Most parents of young children also store food and things like sippy cups in those baskets, so there is a fair possibility that gunk from the step might have found its way to a child's mouth in that scenario. IMO, THAT is what would be unwise from a cleanliness standpoint.
