For instance, you should never change your child’s diaper along the side of the road, even if you’re on a long stretch of highway. Try looking for a rest stop or other open area where you can safely park.
Double-check that there’s nothing sharp or dangerous in your trunk that your child can grab onto or hurt themselves with. If there’s a lot of stuff lying around that can shift, or that your baby can grab onto, change the diaper on a passenger seat instead.
If you go for car rides with your baby frequently, it can help to have a stash of clean diapers and wipes somewhere in your car.
If needed, apply diaper cream along with the diaper. If there’s a trash can nearby, discard the old diaper and wipes there. If not, you can toss them out when you get home.
Add the disinfectant wipe to your mini trash bag if you haven’t thrown it out already. Double-check the disinfectant label to ensure that it’s safe to use on your waterproof pad.
