Dirty Diapers can happen anywhere and anytime so the best advice is to be prepared:
Tip #1 Carry a changing pad
A portable changing pad can be very convenient when unexpected diaper changes occur.
Simply lay the changing pad on a flat surface for easy use. When selecting a changing
pad, ensure the changing pads are super-soft for baby’s comfort, easy to clean material
and machine washable. For protection, look for changing pads with safety straps
to secure changing pad and sides to protect baby.

Tip #2 Be prepared to change
Always carry an extra change of clothes with you in your diaper bag or the car,
for those unexpected moments when the diaper doesn't do its duty or when your toddler
(who is potty training) forgets she is potty trained. A sealable bag for soiled
clothing will also be helpful when you need to store those clothes in your bag while
you are at the park.

Tip #3 Learn how to change a baby where you are
Most stores and restaurants provide a changing station, but unfortunately they aren’t
the most sanitary places to change your baby. Be versatile and learn how to change
dirty diapers in the appropriate setting, wherever you are.

Tip #4 Carry baby wipes with you at all times
Baby wipes are a must-have for efficient diaper care. Baby wipes should be placed
in the car, in diaper bags and nursery. You'll be amazed at how many other uses
you will find for baby wipes once you have a tub of them in your car (cleaning up
after tire changes, coffee spills, and sippy cups, just to name a few).

Tip #5 Get a good diaper bag
Consider your diaper bag your swiss army knife as it is your lifeline when away
from home. Make sure you get one that is comfortable and big enough for all those
items you think you will need. There are many fashionable alternatives that can
double as purses after diaper duty.
