I had one child who was potty trained at 16 months old....but then again, she had her parents trained to take her to the potty one or two times per hour and they told me she was totally potty trained. They expected me to do the same. It was definitely hard bc they really did not want me to put her in a pullup. I just waited it out for a few months, rolled up my area carpets, kept potties visible and present in every room. Eventually, she was potty trained by 20 months but there were many accidents in between. I would try to keep the dck out of your new area because that is just hard to keep your cool when something new and nice gets ruined.
