My mother did a version of this on me and my brother (20-30 years ago), and I was potty trained by about 10 months. She would still put diapers on us when going on long trips, etc., just to avoid accidents.

One story from my childhood that she'll never let me forget was when she put a diaper on me when I was about 2 and a half - it was for a long trip that involved a flight, and she didn't want to go through the hassle of taking a toddler to a gross airplane bathroom. But I refused to "go" in the diaper even though she encouraged me to, and I stubbornly held it for 4 hours til we landed because not peeing into a potty/toilet was unimaginable to me. Needless to say she didn't waste her money on diapers after that.
