Traveling with kids who are still potty training? Line a plastic sandpail (like for playing at the beach) with a plastic grocery bag, and put a diaper at the bottom of the bag.

“I didn't force it, but my daughter was a cat napper. She slept very hard for 30 minutes, would be up for two hours, then sleep for 30 minutes. A friend of mine kept her while I was working and thought I was nuts, but when I picked her up that first night, she told me you could set a clock by her naps. She did this from about two months old until she was a year old. She slept great at night.
Her napping internal schedule looked like this:
7:00 - up for the day
9:00 - nap
9:30 - wake
11:30 - nap
12:00 - wake
2:00 - nap
2:30 - wake
4:30 - nap
5:00 - wake
7:00 - nap
7:30 - wake
9:00 - sleep for the night” -- bookworm
