It is my strong opinion that if you have a toddler and an infant, it is in
everyone's best interest to change your baby on your lap on a mat. There
won't be any unsanitary effects (there's a pad plus you, for goodness' sake);
your toddler will not be alone with a stranger (!) which I think is the worst
solution; you won't have to drag two little kids to a tiny bathroom stall.

I think it is probably also ok to lay out a mat (probably double-mat, to
protect your mat from the yucky floor) on the floor in the bulkhead.

Best option - change the baby in the "bassinette" if there is such a thing
on your flight.

I have never understood people's objections, considering that adult leakage
or incontinence or lack of hygiene is much yuckier IME than anything a
baby can produce. However, it is probably best if you have a seat-section
to your family's own, so no one else will notice or be bothered.

I don't want anyone to flame you (or me), but that is my opinion.
