Keeping emergency diapers in the car?

[Catbutt Diapers]

I have in each car - 1 Babyland OS diaper, 1 size 3 disposable, and a little ziplock of disposable wipes all in a big gallon ziplock bag. I've had to use this stash a couple times!

My car emergency pack is two sposies and a mini pack of wipes. But I usually carry cloth dipes and wipes with me in the diaper bag so I haven't needed to use it so far.

My car emergency "kit" all fits into a gallon sized ziploc with everything rolled tightly-
2 flats
1 econobum cover
1 flip cover
4 sposie flip inserts
1 leaky Bumkins pocket
6 cloth wipes
a small water bottle (sealed, never opened)
a teeny CJ's sample
A flour sack for a burp cloth
soothie pacifier
onesie in his current size
pair of thin shorts
light sweater

I experimented with which clothing before I found the perfect fit in the bag

My diaper bag comes with me in the car everywhere. I carry the diaper bag and my purse to and from the car. If I don't use anything in the diaper bag I leave it in the car. If I do I bring it in and change it out.

My car is full of emergency things. I have a coat, a pair of shoes, hair bands (not DS) for each kids. I also have enough crumbs on the floor to be able to eat out of my car for a good couple days.

I got a good chuckle out of last sentence Mine is the same way as far as crumbs go.

I try to always bring a few when we leave the house, but there are a few sposies and I keep a econobum and receiving blankets in the van. I love using receiving blankets as inserts (basically is a super absorbant flannel flat and i fold them into a long rectangle and just lay it in the cover.. oh and theres a few flannel liners to put on top of the "flat" to keep him dry.

Yeah - It is gross - My DH makes total fun of me.

I keep a couple of least favorite diapers in the car just in case of an 'emergency'. (and I don't miss them from my stash).

I don't but if I did, it would be something cheap but bulletproof like econobum cover and pf...I live in a hot climate and a summer in the car would kill it for sure. I actually don't leave anything in the car for that reason, really. Well, anything with elastic. lol.

In theory we do, but we end up using it fairly often ... I'm not the best at the "be prepared" thing. Recently had a very unusual poo in the car (29 months and he's never done that), and had left the diaper bag at home, and used the emergency one a few days before ...

Ended up cleaning him up with his T-shirt, a pair of socks and a bottle of sweet tea, then letting him go commando under his pants, with a coat but no shirt (he's PLing and stays dry for hours).

But ideally we have a BG I don't like much, and a pack of wipes, in each car.
