A few questions.

Ok Hayley has been potty training since October last year, she has used the potty a few times which is great, still has a few accidents too. The other day we were at a friends place and her daughter (3) has one of those toilet ring/seat thingys on the toilet, anyway Hayley sat on the toilet (she copied my friend's daughter, though she didn't actually do anything) what I want to know is should I just keep using the potty with her OR should I get one of those seat thingys for the big toilet (because eventually she'll have to use the big toilet anyway) AND what do I do about going to the toilet when we're out (seeing as though she isn't fully trained yet I keep her in nappies when we're going shopping or whatever).
I am so confused about what to do because I'm worried that she won't want to go to the toilet but only when we're at home (make sense?) and I know she has to get used to not wearing nappies all the time and I also know theres going to be a few accidents here and there. Should I give the nappies up all together and just take a few changes of pants/undies for when we go out (apart from when she goes down for sleep at night) or should I continue to train her at home first THEN worry about the whole going out thing later?

The thing is I don't want to be out for dinner one night and we (and other ppl in the restaurant) are trying to eat a nice meal and then she poos herself (I know nappies stink but I think pooing your pants is worse because alot of the time you can see it)

Anyone?

Also, when I fisrt started potty training Hayley I left her bottom half go naked, now I have started putting her in pants/undies and she WILL sit on the potty and do wees BUT she doesn't pull her pants down (sort of funny in a way) I keep reminding her but being a toddler she doesn't really listen or understand. Has this happened to anyone else's kids? What did you do? (apart from pulling their pants down all the time) she wears pants/undies that are easy to get on a off too.

She has gotten heaps better with her potty training this the last week she has been telling me she needs to use the potty and goes poos or wees which is great. So any advice on what to do about her pulling her pants down and also about my first post about going out in public.

Also, sorry about the 20 questions, would it be worth getting pull-ups for her for when we're out? The thing is I heard they are the same as nappies and I don't want her thinking 'well I have a nappy on so I don't need to use the toilet' if that makes sense.
TIA.
