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.
Agreed. I just did this at my seat before takeoff on a flight this weekend. I bought the baby a seat and used my changind pad at the seat. Going to the lav before boarding was not an option (time) nor going to the lav on the plane (pushback).
During flight I took the baby to the lav and used hte changing table. The United A319/320 have tables. If I was on an AC that doesn't have a table I'd use the seat again and again.
