Child needs to go to the playground?

Where do you let your child take pills/poop on the playground if there is no toilet nearby and it is too far away at home?

I usually let mine do it on a bush. Luckily, most playgrounds have plenty of them. If there isn't one nearby, it has happened that they've peed on the fence or the drain. My daughter doesn't like peeing outside at all, and she doesn't mind asking a shop if she can use the restroom there. So far, it's always worked out. With my boys, it's also important to me that they don't use public bushes and that the spot they choose is fairly secluded. A few years ago, I saw a boy peeing down the slide. His mother was standing there and thought it was really funny and took pictures. Of course, the slide wasn't cleaned afterwards. I think that kind of behavior is really bad. I had to spend a long time explaining to my boys afterwards that they weren't allowed to do that.

Peeing in a secluded bush.

The feces can be made on Zewa or something similar, which is then wrapped in plastic or more Zewa and then ends up in the bin.

Maybe a dog poop bag will do, as they're lying around everywhere. And then you just throw that away.

As I wrote, it is advisable to plan ahead.

Even if my house were right across the street, I'd let boys pee against a tree or in the bushes. It's quick and easy, and totally uncomplicated.

This is actually relatively easy with a boy. He can pee while standing. If he does have to poop, it's recommended to simply use a dog poop bag, preferably two. You place them on the floor so that your child can sit on them, and then he just does it as he normally does: poop. When he's done, you just have to put the big business in the bag and, ideally, put another bag around it. And then it's done.

I do not go with my child to areas where there is no toilet nearby and check beforehand if there is anything within a maximum of 2-3 minutes of the area

Poor children. Does that mean you never go out into nature, never even walk in the forest?

You can almost feel sorry for the children.

If the child is not dry, he or she needs a diaper.

It's that simple (in my opinion).

What nonsense! A child can very well be dry, but they just don't have that much time between "I have to go" and "it's too late." Nevertheless, they're dry and have control over not peeing their pants unconsciously – just not for long (yet). And that's perfectly normal. EVERYONE of us has gone through this stage, and your parents certainly didn't stick a diaper on your ass until you could hold it for hours.

Children who no longer wear diapers are able to report early enough when they need to.

I don't know of any playground where there isn't at least a cafe, supermarket or residential building nearby where you could ask if your child can go to the toilet.

But in the case of a residential building… realistically no one will let you in.

It always depends on how you ask. Of course, there's no guarantee.

But playgrounds aren't 5 km outside of town. There's always something nearby. Shops, businesses, schools…

It probably doesn't occur to you that there are people in the countryside xD

There isn't even a cigarette vending machine in the next town, it's that dead.

It was just an example…

Well, at least here in our small town, the restrooms in the shops are usually very clean.

Sorry, but I wouldn't let any stranger into my apartment either, neither so that they nor their child, who is a complete stranger to me, could go to the bathroom in my apartment—especially since the adult would want to come along. And no, I don't let complete strangers into my apartment.

And a public restroom in or right next to a playground will, in 99.9% of cases, look like a filthy mess. I wouldn't go in there myself, and I certainly wouldn't subject my children to it. Any bush is definitely cleaner, and I can't think of any reason why that would be objectionable—for the children.
