So, an overflowing poopy diaper would be preferable to a changing at the seat?</font>

I'll say it again. If the diaper is too full, it is the parents fault for not getting up off their seat and changing it sooner, or using a brand of diaper with a larger capacity. To change a diaper ANYWHERE on a plane just before landing as in the original post is simply unnecessary. The parent should have waited until they were in the terminal bathroom where there is enough room to do so without endangering other passengers. If a parent is unable (as opposed to unwilling) to leave the seat, they should ask for assistance from the FA's to get to the WC.
I'll ask again, don't the airlines have rules against this?
