For future reference, you put a changing pad on a recliner stroller. Then you put one of those hospital blankets (that can be washed on hot water) on top. Pants come off, clean diaper goes underneath, and you quickly yank the dirty one off, roll it up and shove it in a plastic bag, then wipe and finish up.

People already smelled your kid. They won't notice this.

I'm shocked that the op cares more about her stroller than her unattended 4 year old. I don't think I ever used a public changing table with any of my kids. That's so gross and germy.

Thanks for the how-to, but I would never do this unless it were the only option. The fact that you know how to do it so quickly and easily, and have the steps down, is disturbing. Take that into a bathroom where it belongs please.

Agree. Also no one is turning down sink access with a diaper blow out. Omg. Having flashbacks. Thanks, stroller change only weirdo.

I would've held your purse.

Indefinitely? That’s obviously absurd. Most little kids can’t hold pee longer than 30 minutes after they first notice they have to go.

It sounds like this little kid was asked to wait approximately 2-4 minutes after first deciding she had to go. If she realized she had to go, ran over towards the bathroom, and then couldn't hold it for the 2-4 minutes it would take to change a diaper, then she needs to be in a pullup.

The NBM is not the best place to leave your kid unattended OP. 1. It’s expressly forbidden (seriously, your entitlement is beyond) 2. You must not be from DC but as someone who is local, I can tell you some of the crimes that have happened within the museum itself.

Lastly, the fact the you are so obsessed with bathroom etiquette yet will leave your kid to the hands of who knows what, makes me think you have a mental illness or some kind.

OP- I know I said I was done commenting but just saw my thread get bumped near the top again with this response. 1. I don't know what the NBM is, but at this museum, parents frequently sit in the chairs/ benches scattered around the enclosed "kids room" and chat while their kids play. The bathroom is also in the enclosed kids room. 2. No I'm not from DC, and this was not a museum in DC. It was the Maryland Science Center if you're really curious. And that's horrific if crimes against children are being committed inside DC museums by other patrons or employees, i thought Baltimore was a scary place but at least no one is sneaking around abusing kids inside the Science Center.

Kennedy Center last night and, of course, there is a line in the ladies room. It was about 6-8 women long, with four stalls.

Glitz and glamour mom sashays into the restroom with three children and sighs loudly. Then talks even louder. "Oh, Larla! There's a line!! I know you are simply ready to burst! What's that, Larlette? You dropped your sweater? Time to pee pee if only there weren't this big line! Larlo! Larlo!! You go potty last, after the girls. I hope this line moves!!"

Louder and louder and LOUDER.

All the while giving all of us in line the stink eye and basically hinting that her darling trio takes priority. They might burst!!

Not a soul budged. The line was moving fast and the mom was ridiculous.

But she continued to talk at the top of her lungs and narrate their entire bathroom visit.

OMG! I'd have ignored that! Now if she asked me nicely if her kid could go ahead of me because she was about to burst and I wasn't in a hurry myself, I'd have gladly let her. But no way to that crap.
