Do they make a thin/small diaper changing kit?

Like a thing that you can slide into your purse that holds a couple of diapers and a thin box of wipes all folded up into a changing pad? I feel like I've seen them before, does anyone have one?

Leah and I are going to be traveling buddies once Evan starts school - we'll be out and about everyday and I'll keep stuff in the car but I don't want to pack/lug a full diaper bag. I don't have a portable changing pad anymore so I need to get something anyway.

  • We've got something like this but it's pink.  Handy to have, although I usually never remember it.

  • Honestly, I just used a gallon ziplock bag with a pair of pants, diaper, and a sandwich ziplock bag with some wipes. Squish out the air and it folds up small. Now I have a pair of underwear in there instead of a diaper but same concept. The ziplock bag is perfect too to hold the clothes if there is an accident. I just laid down paper towel instead of a changing pad.

    Ha! I have been using zip lock bags...but have been bringing my own towel (either a receiving blanket or a darn hand towel if I can'f find one)...I just want something cute b/c I like to spend $ :)

    Thanks for the links, ladies! I'll check them out!

    Oh, a receiving blanket is a good idea!  I don't need one now that I don't have to lie her down for changes, but I'll be stealing this idea once baby2 is old enough that I don't need a diaper bag all the time, thanks!

  • Yeah, we used those receiving blankets (like the thin flannel-ish type) for diaper changes at home too, well when they were babies. We just fold it in half and put it over the change pad. Then we just toss that in the laundry once a day or more depending on the mess situation...this way we wouldn't get the changing pad cover dirty or stain it since those are $$ and who wants to see a huge poop stain on their pretty changing pad cover, haha!

    I don't think we used a receiving blanket for anything but diaper changes, actually.

    I still haven't mastered the standing up change. My SIL was a pro at it with her twin boys - she could change them in 2 seconds flat.

  • We have one similar to  this and liked it a lot. I kept it in the car and tossed it in my purse if I though it was needed. My dad also would take it when he took R out for a few hours instead of hauling a diaper bag. I looked for one that was long enough to cover the whole nasty diaper decks in public places!
  • I had one similar to this by Skip Hop that was sold only at Target. I liked it alot, but it was a POS - the material started fraying within a couple months. If you go for this one, just keep your receipt in case you run into any problems with it.
