Expecting parents understand that changing their bundle of joy will be gross. They understand the need will be frequent and at times, extremely foul.

But it’s surprising to learn how extra gross it can be to change a child when traveling. Airplane bathrooms are both small and unsanitary.

Many planes have changing tables but some airplane bathrooms do not have space to accommodate parents. In these instances, parents are forced to change their child on a closed toilet seat.

Using a portable changing pad can help parents buffer their children from the grossness of airplane and other public bathrooms.

The Pronto is a travel changing pad that slips into a diaper bag or clips onto a strap or stroller. When closed, it is smaller than a sheet of paper.

The pad has a cushioned head area and extra wide, removable side wings. The internal pad is waterproof and wipes clean.

The Pronto also has storage capabilities and can hold up to four diapers and a tube of ointment in the mesh pocket. There is also a pouch to hold wipes and a translucent wipe case is included. There is also a front zipper pocket to hold personal items such as hand sanitizer.

$30, available in six fabric options. SkipHop.com.
