Diaper Blowout in the Car Seat - Code Brown

2w ago·1 min read

We're three weeks in and I just experienced my first diaper blowout situation. Poop went up the back, down the legs, everywhere. I called my wife in a panic like the car was on fire. She was laughing at me while I'm standing in the Target parking lot trying to figure out how to get the straps off without making it worse. Now I understand why experienced dads always have backup outfits in the diaper bag. Rookie mistake.

Code Brown is real. Wait until it happens on a road trip and you're 20 minutes from the nearest gas station. You're learning the hard way now but at least you got it in the car seat and not at someone's house.

Three weeks in and you've already experienced one of the rites of passage. Honestly it gets better from here. The next one won't surprise you as much.

Dude, welcome to the club. Three weeks in and you've already hit one of the major milestones. Pro tip: keep a change of clothes for the baby AND yourself in the car at all times. I learned that the hard way.

Ha, this is one of those stories you'll laugh about in a few years. At least you discovered it before a long road trip. We learned that lesson the hard way on a hike to Bear Lake.

Oh man, this happened to us last week and I felt so helpless calling my wife too. Apparently going up size in diapers helped us avoid round two, might be worth a shot.

Poop up the back is the worst because it's everywhere and nowhere at the same time. We went through like three outfit changes before noon on one of those days.
