For us it didn't make sense buying sposies just to travel. <br /><br />Over Christmas, we used leftover sposies for our toddler (from our hospital stay w/ #3) while traveling, but our infant was in cloth since he's EBF - his diapers are bit easier to take care of while on the road ;-) <br /><br />I normally do all cloth on that trip but our timing only allotted us to be near a washing machine for one wash load - my infant won, lol ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893351478019815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073655496261535591.post-15933361932586684372011-01-26T18:21:36.118-05:002011-01-26T18:21:36.118-05:00We have traveled with both.

It hasn't happened yet, but he will be the one doing the clean up if she ever has a blowout! The rest of the time he is all for using our cloth. We've been luck in that we've either had laundry access, or had a short enough trip to just bring along the stash.<br /><br />Next month we'll be moving from Alaska to Ohio, and taking the "scenic route" to get there. A month on the road and sporadic laundry access made him want to say disposables. I've been able to convince him that hybrid is a much better option, thank goodness! They should be arriving any day now, and I'm looking forward to a worry free(in this department!) trip.BabyBrowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07484786523082950914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073655496261535591.post-50564710394299790232011-01-26T12:02:25.791-05:002011-01-26T12:02:25.791-05:00Thanks for this post.

I have made many sort 2-3 day trips with cloth and had zero problems, but I was nervous about going to church camp with the youth this summer where I will not have a washer/dryer. But I think we'll be just fine- I can go into town to the laundry mat once in the middle of the week.Holly Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188561347688419000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073655496261535591.post-16854448369862024312011-01-26T10:46:43.043-05:002011-01-26T10:46:43.043-05:00I use cloth every time we travel.

I just make sure to wash just before we leave and bring enough to get us through the whole trip. I don't trust other people's washing machines with my fluff becauase i have no idea what kind of detergenet they've used. I've also used the gdiaper flushable inserts on a few longer trips, and those worked out great as well.Amy Molanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18007248047934162470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073655496261535591.post-78544991632322741042011-01-26T09:40:09.613-05:002011-01-26T09:40:09.613-05:00Last year we visited my brother in CA for 8 days, ...Last year we visited my brother in CA for 8 days, including a 2 day trip to Disneyland. I did cloth the whole time with LO! I used my brother's washer/dryer while there. I used Flips/stay dry inserts on the plane. Also last year, we visited family at a lake house for 5 days. That's when I realized I had enough to CD LO for 5+ days without washing:O After a 6 hour drive at night, I immediately put the diapers in the wash to soak in vinegar (since they'd been sitting so long), then did normal wash. Both those trips taught me I CAN travel with LO in cloth:)crispymamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389896263752840933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073655496261535591.post-81846880282715875742011-01-26T09:28:23.262-05:002011-01-26T09:28:23.262-05:00Fun weekend!

What works for me is that I bring my good ol' trusty night diapers and during the day (especially when we're out) of the room, and while on the road I use AI2's, Grovia with the bio inserts. Works great for us, as I do not need to haul dirty diapers while out. Also this works great if you do not have access to a washer/dryer, plus cuts down the amount of diapers that you will need to bring/pack.Island Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202912270390245988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073655496261535591.post-75581618408147894562011-01-25T23:21:59.799-05:002011-01-25T23:21:59.799-05:00Thank you for sharing your trip with us.

I took all 12 of my diapers and we didn't use any disposables at all! I was so proud of myself because we had only been doing cloth for a couple of months at that point.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17112335184609522018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073655496261535591.post-90198848765301373612011-01-25T17:55:24.225-05:002011-01-25T17:55:24.225-05:00We went to Kansas and stayed with my cousins durin...We went to Kansas and stayed with my cousins during the week of thanksgiving. I had just started using cd when my son was three weeks old and my cousins were staying with us for the weekend when I started it. I asked if it would be okay to use their washer and they didnt mind at all. They even have a clothes line. I washed two times and we were there for the week, it was great. After that my cousin started using cd on her little one :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073655496261535591.post-25074995511977725192011-01-25T16:21:56.171-05:002011-01-25T16:21:56.171-05:00I have traveled with cloth.

We've also done a couple 3-5 day long weekend trips to visit family. I've been lucky enough to have access to a washer/dryer every time, but I've always tried to pack in case I didn't since I never know how family will respond to the idea of poopy diapers in their washing machines. <br /><br />I usually pack all the diapers that I use most so I know I have back-up cloth to last as long as possible. And, since our main diapers are GroBabys, I bring hybrid disposable inserts as back up just in case! (Though, we've never had to use them.) <br /><br />I also tend to bring our detergent with in case I do get a chance to wash. We've only got two pail liners and I bring both of them. One generally holds to clean diapers and the other holds the dirty. I bring 2-3 wetbags to carry in the diaper bag and empty them out into the pail liner and reuse when I can't wash, just to save space in the diaper bag. I figure that's no worse than carrying a dirty diaper sealed in the wetbag. :-)Lilachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02844356620138710157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073655496261535591.post-47000115407709389772011-01-25T16:12:28.087-05:002011-01-25T16:12:28.087-05:00I enjoyed reading your story about traveling with ...I enjoyed reading your story about traveling with cloth!!
