We recently took another long airplane trip, this time to Hawaii. We knew ahead of time by checking the airplane configuration it was unlikely the aircraft would have NOT have changing tables available. Baby is now too big and squiggly to do the whole "changing on the toilet seat" (and ewwww, by the way) or on my lap and my husband and I don't like to change diapers on tray tables/seat cushions. We'd change baby on the floor of the aircraft but the last time we tried, the flight attendant told us we needed to use the restroom. Plus, unless you're in first class or economy plus, you're not going to have a lot of room to change the diaper on the floor.
Cue our solution: Huggies Little Movers Slip-On Diapers.
We had originally bought these diapers because Baby is in the process of being potty trained and we thought it would be easier to use these diapers. How that worked out is another story entirely (hint: it didn't), but for plane travel? Perfect. I love these diapers because you can quickly remove them (the tabs are removable), clean baby up, and then slip on a clean diaper just like a pair of underwear. Once we got the clean diaper on, we usually just took Baby back to the seat and made the proper adjustments and put her clothes back.
Speaking of clothes... we usually go for one piece outfits with snaps at the crotch to make it easier to actually change the baby. A onesie and a pair of pants works too if you take the pants off at the seat and put them back on when you get back. My preference is always to take as little as possible into that airplane bathroom simply because it's so cramped in there and did I mention the ick factor?
