Toilet break without anyone around to look at the baby?

How are we going to the toilet when no one is home to keep an eye on the baby? And how old are they? Currently i have my mother in law around but wont be here for long. My Lb is 4 months old. I am thinking of a high chair in the Loo for the Lo.

Softplay

A friend has booked us in for a softplay place tomorrow and we've not been to one before. Should we follow her around in the softplay? She's just turned 2 and is typically used to big open spaces and is very independent, although if there are other kids around she likes to hold my hand until she's settled and playing.
