We decided to change her on the seat, but forgot to take into account the fact that the seat has a slight angle to it. When the poop starting running off her diaper and toward the seatbelts, we knew we had miscalculated!<BR/>Good luck!

I am too much of a klutz to try anything like my lap -- or maybe my kids were too squirmy. At least a baby cannot fall when he's on the floor: he's safe.

Very important to carry a changing pad in your diaper bag, because even if there is one of those Koala things... ew. Who knows what's been done on those changing tables. Carry a changing pad, and that way you can use the floor if needed.<BR/><BR/>It's been ages since I was in that (crouching on floor, wipe in hand) position, but back in the day I was very fond of my $10 California Baby changing pad, the one with the pockets for wipe box and extra diaper. Claimed to be anti-microbial, but in any case was cleaner than the average restroom changing table.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-1169857274838638982007-01-26T19:21:00.000-05:002007-01-26T19:21:00.000-05:00I'd try variation E, which only works if you have ...I'd try variation E, which only works if you have a changing pad that his entire body fits on: lay down changing pad on bathroom floor, put baby on pad, squat down and change diaper as usual. When you return home, bleach the changing pad to within an inch of its life. Not fun whichever option you choose, though.<BR/><BR/>And the others are right -- you're doing great!mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090217204829504624noreply@blogger.com
