I Put My Baby In The Trunk

if you use the carseat, their head is cocked on a weird angle and they look so uncomfortable. If you use the front seat, they wiggle and squirm and fuss. As I walked toward the car, dreading the diaper change, I realized the trunk was empty.

 

A flat space that my baby couldn’t roll and fall from!

I am not going to lie, I really thought someone would see me and make a negative comment about how awful I was for putting my baby in the trunk. Instead, another mom looked over and exclaimed, “What a great idea! I never would have thought of that!” So for those of you who would have never thought of that, here is my life-diaper changing hack:
