Keeping all of FlyerTalk in my thoughts, I then asked, "where do you recommend I change him?" And she of course replied...

... "Just change him on the seat."

Like I said about 30 or 40 posts ago - in the absence of lav changing tables, there's not many other places you can change a diaper on a plane. And even then, that's probably not a significant contributor to the "seat life" on a plane.

I wonder how many people who get upset at that have ever been swimming in the ocean. You know, Moby Dick's personal potty. The ocean doesn't get closed for whale "accidents". Heck, lakes have fish in 'em, too. And I've noted birds flying over just about every body of water....

My daughter has this book that seems apropos.

Getting all bent out of shape over the realities of life isn't very productive.
