Had a catastrophic poop situation at target today. Came out the sides, up the back, through the outfit. Kid looked at me like it was MY fault. Now I keep an extra outfit in the car plus like 3 backup sets at home. What am I forgetting? Wet wipes? Got em. Change pad? In my bag. Plastic bags? Just started keeping those too. What am I missing guys?
Dude, a blowout that gets through everything is legitimately terrifying when you're in public. I keep a small garbage bag in my diaper bag now just for these situations. Learned that one the hard way.
Out the sides AND up the back? That's the worst combination. Pro tip: those travel packs of wipes are your friend. I keep like five of them stashed everywhere now.
I had one at the grocery store last month and it somehow got into my wallet. Still not entirely sure how that happened. These are the stories nobody tells you about before you have kids.
This happened to us at Target too and I just grabbed a cart load of wipes, cleaned up the cart afterward, and tried not to make eye contact with anyone. Public diaper blowouts are just part of the job.
The real talk nobody wants to have: always keep a complete backup outfit in the diaper bag. Pants, shirt, socks, everything. I learned this the hard way multiple times. Target bathrooms are not your friend in those moments.
Pro move: keep a plastic bag in your pocket at all times. Not the outfit, the bag. You'll thank me later when you're rolling up your clothes in a grocery store checkout line.

Oh man, the up-the-back blowout is the worst. I learned the hard way to always have a complete change of clothes in the diaper bag, not at home. That Target bathroom becomes your second home real quick.
