To ask how you change a 2 year old's nappy on a plane?

[Cutesbabasmummy]

We are off on holiday to Tenerife next month and it's a 4 1/2 hour flight so DS will need changing at some point. I know there aren't changing tables in the toilets and there's barely enough room for 1 adult let alone me and DS! Has anyone any experience? We are flying BA there and Easyjet home x

There are changing tables in the toilets. Why would you imagine there aren't?

And you should be able to do it on your knee sitting on a loo by now anyway, surely?

Aren't there changing tables in the toilets? Whenever I've travelled with dc that needed changing there always were, though you wouldn't notice them if you weren't looking for them.

There is usually a changing table in one of the toilets at least. They fold down from the wall.

Have you got a night nappy? They last 12hrs for my dd at night (we use pampers)
What seating have you got?
Hopefully someone will come along with a better answer.

Pull up nappies are your friend!

There are changing tables that are tucked away into the wall. Certainly has been on all the flights ive been on

I flew Ryanair recently and there was a changing table that folded down over the toilet. I assume all airlines have it.

Just change him just before and just after flight?

Practice doing it with him standing on the loo seat!!

There are changing table in the loos, they're usually above the toilets and pull down

The toilets should have a pull down baby changing table, every flight I've been on has, but not in every toilet on plane.

There wasn't much room to do my ds unless I had him lay diagonal.

Put a pull-up on him, it's easier to change standing up and hope he doesn't poo.

There are changing tables in the toilets of planes.

I wouldn't change my 2 year old on my knee on the toilet. Too wiggly.

There are changing tables in the toilets. I used them when dd was little, but by the time that she was 2 it tended to be easier to change her standing up - from what I remember the tables are quite small.

They are behind the toilet and fold down. A little tip, make sure the shoes can come off easily, we had lovely converse with laces, they were a nightmare!

Surely he can go 4hrs without a nappy change? Pop a new one on just before you board?

As PP's there are changing tables.

And BA defo have changing tables in there loos. But it's still easier to change them standing up and using pull ups.

Some airlines will let you change babies where the stewards manage the food. All food is sealed so they'll often let you throw down a nappy changer provided you aren't much in the way.

We've just flown jet2 and there went a changing table in the toilets at our end on the plane. I just put loo seat down and changed mine on top on a changing mat I brought with me. All good and dead quick and easy.
However 2.5 hours of peppa

Unless he poos, I wouldn't sweat about changing on the flight. Just change before and afterwards. I have a general 4 hour rule but really sometimes they just haven't weed much!

Thanks people! I guess I never noticed there were changing units as I've never needed to use one before! We use pull ups as we can't get him to stay still enough for a regular nappy. It will only be if he poos that it will be a bit of a mare! user1493022461 - no need to be so aggressive!

Can't you do it on your lap?

Ooh, which airlines do that? I'd like that to avoid them from now on!

I've flown BA and easyjet with babies / toddlers and there are changing tables that pull down above the toilet. It is a squeeze but you manage. Change shortly before getting on plane and take pull ups on with you in case of needing a change. My DD1 has been ill (both ends though not at the same time!) and we've successfully managed full-scale changes in an airplane toilet. You'll be fine!!
