How difficult is it to change a baby's diaper on an airplane?

Did you use the lavatory? If so, how difficult was it to manuever in such a tight space. I have also read that some people change their baby's diaper right where they are seated. Is this usually allowed? Any help that you may be able to provide me is greatly appreciated.How difficult is it to change a baby%26039;s diaper on an airplane?
Depends on the flight. I found the changing table in the lavatory wasnt too bad, it folded down right over top the toilet. That was on a bigger plane. On the smaller plane I had to take for a connection we were all forced to stay seated due to turbulence so I changed him where he was. I found people just appreciated the fact he wasnt screaming his head off the entire flight so didnt mind a nappy change. I suggest during take off and landing you be prepared with a pacifier or bottle or even nurse him/her if necessary. It helps with equilizing pressure in the ear and prevents earaches. I also found it helpful to give a dose of tylenol 30 mins before the flight so if the ears didnt pop right it wasnt as painful. On a side note be careful of how low the shelf is above the changing table if in the lavatory. I almost clunked my little ones head on it on the flight to florida.How difficult is it to change a baby%26039;s diaper on an airplane?
Stay where you are and do it what are they gonna do kick you off the plane.The bathroom is too small.How difficult is it to change a baby%26039;s diaper on an airplane?
Be respectful of your other passengers. If you are going to do it in your seat, please ask them if they mind if you do it. You'd probably get a more favorable response from them, especially on longer flights, then if you just open it up and let out the smell...ugh. %26lt;g%26gt; Good luck!How difficult is it to change a baby%26039;s diaper on an airplane?
If you are travelling with someone, take only the baby, the wipes and the diaper- it's not just tight, but damn you can barely turn around in there to get the door shut.

I changed my daughter's diaper at my seat on the flight to Germany after my first lavatory experience, no one said anything, probably because they too had a baby.

My flight back was better,we had a larger jet and the bathrooms were on the lower level and much larger so there was actually space.



Good luck and if you want to be sure that it's okay to change baby's diaper at your seat, ask the flight attendant and your seat neighbours.How difficult is it to change a baby%26039;s diaper on an airplane?

I agree with the first person. I took my son to Brasil when he was 2 weeks old, and I changed his diaper right in the seat. Nobody told me anything. I was traveling with American Airlines.How difficult is it to change a baby%26039;s diaper on an airplane?
If at all possible, wait until you land. I tried changing my 3 mo old on an empty seat next to me and it was a nightmare! Once you hit a layover or land, go do it right away. Now granted, on a very long flight this may not be possible. Good luck! :)How difficult is it to change a baby%26039;s diaper on an airplane?
On Southwest airlines they didnt have a changing table in the bathroom so they gave me a blanket and i changed him on the floor, it wasn't that bad. People are usually very nice to people with babies and are generally very helpful.
