Do you change the baby in the car regularly?

Would love if you could add some detail - boot, on the seat, is it a struggle, why? Doing some research so the more replies the better ❤️

I have done a few times. If the boot is empty I'd change her in there with a change mat as its flat, pretty straightforward except can be quite hard on your back. If the boot had stuff in it I would change her on the back seat and use plenty of blankets under her because the seat belt buckle would dig into her otherwise (We have a tiny car). I just tried to do it as fast as possible so my back didn't have to be in that awkward position for very long. Now she's a toddler I change her standing up and it's a lot more of a struggle because she fights to get away, but nappy changes aren't as urgent so it's easier to just find somewhere more suitable.

Only needed to do it maybe 2/3 times x

In the boot, on the parcel shelf 😂 she’s 2 and it still works for me!

Boot is easier but it’s usually full so seat works fine!

I've done it a handful of times. We typically do it in the seat and never really have issues

Never in the boot, plenty of times in the back car seats

Only once or twice ever

i’ve changed the babies on my lap in the front seat a few times

It’s not something I’ve done regularly but when I’ve needed to I have. I tend to just use the seat to change him on

Yes, mostly because almost every bathroom is disgusting, and the tables are broken, so I don't even check anymore. I generally change her in the back seat, because the trunk is always full. It's gotten a lot harder as she's gotten bigger since there isn't as much room

I’ve only ever had to do it once tbf lol and that’s when he was a newborn so was pretty easy because he fit on my lap back then 🥹🥹

We have a joke about the fact she’s had her nappy changed more times in the boot than a baby changing table out and about, also changed her at the top of a mountain 🤷‍♀️ whatever works best

Yes just on the front passenger seat 🤷🏻‍♀️ I prefer to lay him on our seat than in some dirty public toilet changing table!

It’s a little bit of a struggle as it’s slightly slanted but I prefer it to the boot as it’s cold where we live so I can just do it with the heat on x

IN the car? Never did that. Laid them down in the trunk to change? Yes

All the time! I don’t trust changing tables and rarely bring the stroller. I’ve changed in the front seat, the back seat, my lap, and trunk standing and laying in all places. The only time it’s been a struggle is blow outs in my lap for obvious reasons
