Some people are definitely gross...changing a baby on a restaurant table is unbelievable. And yes, some common sense should prevail. But what really gets me is that probably half the people complaining on this thread about people changing diapers probably walk their dog everyday, carry a platic bag, and pick up the dog's s**t and carry it home. Then they let the dog (who obviously does not wipe its' butt) into their home and onto their furniture. Funny how when it's a baby it's gross. <BR><BR>I probably just got myself into a lot of trouble with those remarks. Oh, well.

Grant, just curious, where would you like the parent to change the diaper on the plane? Bathroom is WAY too small, so what do you suggest, or would you rather they don't change it and just wait the hours til the plane lands. Hey, maybe you would get used to the smell.<BR><BR>Couldn't agree more about the dogsh*t. There is nothing that grosses me out more then seeing people walk around with those clear plastic (and probably warm) bags of dogsh*t. At least the diaper changing is over in a few minutes. I have a question, what do you do with the bags of dogsh*t? Bring it all the way home and flush it? Or do people actually drop them in trash cans. YUCK!

itis: Every plane I've been on with my baby has a changing table. There's enough room in there to get the job done.<BR><BR>As far as dog poop, would you rather the owners leave it on the street, in your yard or in the park? And of course it goes in the garbage can! Where else would you put it?

You know, they do make changing pads in case you're ever in a situation where a changing table isn't available. I know - I had one (and used it) over 15 years ago. It's not a new invention. Every mom has a blanket or something suitable in their diaper bag to place the wee one on if need be. Then the blanket is simply washed when the chance arises. There are no excuses to having to change a diaper in public. <BR><BR>(I can hear it now: "EEEEW! You put a blanket on the floor!??)

I'm with Monica -- I can't remember the last time I was on a plane (jet, at least; commuters may be different) that didn't have a changing table.

Because humans walk upright, unlike dogs and many other animals - humans are the only animals that truly need to wipe their behind or risk skidmarks on the furniture... (except maybe interesting animal digestive upsets...)<BR><BR>I would think the way to handle it would be to say "I think a bit dribbled/crumbled off and fell down there when Junior was kicking..." and see what reaction that gets. Suggest it went on the parents' clothes.<BR>

I can't believe the people who would put a changing pad or their baby's blanket on a toilet floor! Where do you keep the changing pad, or blanket until you "get a chance to wash it"? In the diaper bag of course, next to your babies bottles, rattles, teething rings and pacifiers. Think people. That is truly disgusting. I'd change my baby on the ceiling before I'd put down anything on a restroom floor.<BR><BR>EEEEeeeeeewwwwww is right! Maybe they don't have rocks in their heads, maybe their heads are just empty.<BR><BR>
