Pull over or make them hold it?
Now there’s a third answer, and it rides in your trunk until they ask.
The next exit is 23 miles away.
They needed to go five minutes ago, and they only just told you.
When you finally reach that exit, it’s a gas station seat you wouldn’t touch with your shoe. You hold them over it anyway, and the automatic flush goes off right behind them.
“Just hold it” has a cost
The American Academy of Pediatrics says to “remind kids not to hold it.” Holding urine for long periods, its guidance goes on, “can make it harder for the bladder to work properly.”
You’ve spent weeks teaching them to tell you the second they feel it. Then they tell you, on the highway, and you say wait.
The AAP has no connection to Go Ducky and doesn’t recommend any product.
The old fixes all have a catch
- Rest stop
- It’s never close when they need it.
- The shoulder
- You’re holding them over the weeds, and it still ends up on their shoes.
- A bottle
- It works for a boy who only needs to pee, but not for a girl or for number two.
- Pull-ups
- They keep the seat dry, and they tell a kid in training that the rules change in the car.
- A bowl potty
- Now you’re rinsing it in a parking lot.
Go Ducky has no bowl and lives in your trunk, so it’s there the moment they ask.
Open, lift, twist, bag
1
Flip the lid
The duck’s face swings back, and there’s the padded seat.
2
Lift the top
Pull it straight up, and the walls rise out of the base.
3
Twist to lock
Turn it until it stops, so it can’t sink under them.
4
Drop in a bag
When they’re done, tie it off and toss it.
Packing up is the same thing backward.
Small enough to forget about
Carries by a strap
You’ve got one hand on the strap and the other on your toddler.
A face they’ll ask for
A kid who’s scared of the gas station toilet has never been scared of a duck.
Flat in the trunk
It’s about 12 inches across and 4 thick (30 by 10 cm), so it stays out of the way.
A padded seat
It’s a soft grey ring, because a cold, hard seat is how you lose a nervous potty trainer.

Your next drive
“I need to pee.”
“Okay. Give me one minute.”
You take the next wide spot, pop the trunk and have the duck on the gravel before their belt’s off. Three minutes later they’re buckled back in, the bag’s tied off and nobody’s crying. You never had to look up a bathroom.
Quick questions
What’s the catch?
Will it collapse while they’re on it?
What if the bag tears?
Will my kid use it?
When will it arrive?
Order before the next trip
It takes 7–10 business days to reach you in the US and 7–14 in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, so don’t leave it till the day before.
