Every mom needs an emergency diaper changing kit to keep in the car. A friend gave one to me, and now I’m giving one to you. You’ll thank me someday! This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #MoreHuggiesMoreSavings #CollectiveBias
I tucked him into his carseat and found another receiving blanket to tuck around him for the drive home. I remember my friend, Kami, telling me about how she always gave friends a “Blow Out Kit” to keep in their car. It sounded like a nice idea, but I never thought of putting one together for myself because I could usually scrounge up what I needed in the van.
At that moment I was wishing I had a “Blow Out Kit”. Well, she gave me one that week! Kami is one of those friends that everyone needs. The kind that shows up with two dinners and even a hot breakfast for your kids two days after you come home from the hospital. She is super organized when it comes to being prepared for road trips, birthday parties, and anything dealing with taking care of or entertaining children and always has the best ideas. The kind that are worth stealing for yourself.
I’ve used up a lot of what was in the kit that Kami gave me so I decided to replenish it. I put everything in a small tote instead of the jumbo Ziploc bag that it was originally in. Only because the bag was looking a bit worse for wear, but a bag works great too and takes up hardly any space.
Here is what is in my emergency diaper changing kit:
- Diapers (I like buying a month’s worth of Huggies® Little Movers at Sam’s Club for peace of mind.)
- 1 package of wipes (Huggies® One and Done wipes are thicker than some other brands, meaning you use less to get the job done!)
- 1 puppy pad (You can find these in the pet section. They work great as disposable diaper pads!)
- 1 small towel (also for a changing pad or emergency blanket)
- 1 package antibacterial wipes
- 1 small spray bottle with water (It’s sometimes nice to have a little water for washing.)
- A few paper towels
- Grocery bag (For soiled clothing)
- Change of clothes
- Gloves (For those really big messes)
- Receiving blanket (An extra blanket is nice to have if you have room.)

I used to keep something similar in the car. It is definitely a useful box to keep when on the go. #client

Great idea to have a spray bottle of water in the blow out kit. I hadn’t thought of that but I’ll be adding it to mine now. I also like to keep my baby’s current size clothes as well as the next size up in it just in case it’s been a while and I forgot to change the clothes out. Nice post!
