hi my daughter Felicity is 3 in jan and i potty trained her soon after her 2nd birthday. she wasnt interested in the potty at all and when she was about 2years 3months she decided she wanted to go on the loo. I left her in nappies for 2more weeks because she only done it 3times. But all of a sudden she was doing it everytime she wanted a wee so I got her straight in knickers even when we went out. so she got used to using public loos from the beginning.
Now she is doing it all on her own - getting on, wiping, flushing & washing hands.
good luck its so much easier when they become independant. and cheaper when they're out of nappies xx
