All 3 of my babies are outside trained...and when they do have an accident its right at the back door they go out to go potty...so when I do have to go out I leave a potty pad down at the back door for them...but I have all wood floors so its no big deal to clean.

I was always told...that I needed to train either outside potty or potty pad training inside, cause trying to train both would just confuse them...and make them think, its ok to potty inside anywhere and outside...made sence to me...But since I have been on YT...I have read that people have trained there babies to do both with a lot of work and consistency...If I was you and you wanna train both...I would get a play yard...the play yards have a floor in them, so if they do have an accident or they miss the potty pad its not on you carpet or floor and it has a zip up top so they can't jump or climb out....Good luck

I'm sure someone will come along and help you with both trainings.
