    I agree that when they are new to training you gotta go you gotta go and better with 'dignity' than in their pants if they cannot hold it ~ however IMO typically trained children should be able to hold their bladder control for up to 2 hours which is lots of time for a trip to the park and back so it should be a RARE thing to need to go while we are out and about and I explain that belief to my crew .... peeing or pooing in public is not something we should do unless it is a REAL emergency for our body because well it is technically ILLEGAL and you can be fined if you get caught doing it ... although my guess they are inclined to only fine adults but technically there is no age 'exception' for public urination/deification as far as I know

    So that said yes I will let them if they REALLY need to ... I carry one of those IKEA potties and a big towel and if someone REALLY needs to pee that can use the potty and I will than dump it well out of the beaten path where no one would accidentally be 'sitting in it' at some point and I rinse the potty with some water from our stash and dry it and put it back under the stroller. If it is something that becomes a HABIT for a child where I am thinking it is more 'behavior' than an actual NEED to go than before we left I would remind them to empty ALL their bladder because they are not suppose to pee at the park and if they asked at the park again I would make them hold it for a while longer to increase that bladder control cause more often to not they are asking cause they get 'bored' and it is habit to ask at that time frame
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
