Flying with an infant
eds1275:
Although I am not bothered by that kind of stuff, I think that you have to be considerate that others might be. Something that may be no big deal or even funny to you may turn someone else's stomach.

He was considerate. It's not like he said to the person "Here, hold this ---smurfy--- diaper..." :laugh2:

Aren't airplanes one of the least hygenic places in the world already ?
I expect that there is more poop and barf on those tray tables from everyday travelers than from babies being changed.
I would bet that the only time those tray tables actually get wiped down is when a parent changes a diaper on them.

Sometimes it's just the opposite... those "others" need to be understanding of a parents duties/obligations and they should also be grateful that they themselves even exist.
Or the parent could just ignore the need for a diaper change all together and see which lasts longer, them being upset for a 3 minute diaper change....or the duration of the flight. ;D

If the diaper just had pee in it I think the other people maybe should be understanding (probably not). If it had poop in it, it was pretty rude to change the kid on an eating tray, particularly one that is right next to stranger. Of course, you do what you gotta do. But when you don't gotta, you don't. And I think it's usually pretty unlikely that you have to change your kid there at that very moment or something very bad would happen or something. Waiting for six people for the restroom doesn't take that long. I think rather than doing what you gotta do, you did was was very convenient for you. In any case, I think handling bodily excretions on a shared eating surface isn't very classy or considerate. I mean, even just going to the back of the plane and changing the kid outside of the bathroom would be a better option.
And I have a child.
