Does the child/teen have a wetting problem when on the trips? Yes? Does the child/teen want to be diapered? Yes? Then, go for it. That would be a lot easier on both the kid and the driver than trying to find restrooms every half hour. It was certainly easier on me and my dad and mom when I was 4-5 years old.

If the child or teen is likely to have a wetting accident, then diapers might be a good idea.

 

On long trips I can fall asleep and then wet. Since it happened once, my mom since makes me wear diapers on long trips. It's better than wetting my pants and the car seat, but it is kind of embarrassing.

I am 13 years old and i my mom has me wear a diaper on all road trips of an hour or more. she started this three years ago when i was 10(i know a little old to be having accidents). She did this because we were driving to the beach(about 1hr and 45 mins) and i wet myself because i couldn't hold it. If your child is the kind of child who would wet themselves, then i say go for it. I know there have been times in the past where i was thankful i was wearing one or i could have had wet pants. They don't have to wear the diaper, it's just for emergencies.Trust me, wet pants aren't fun.

I was a bedwetter as a kid and younger teen and have always had an overactive bladder. After making a mess in the tent camping when I was 7 my parents finally had enough and made me wear diapers under my pajamas. I was first put in diapers in the car when I was 8 when we were heading across the mountains and I had had a small accident. After that I wore them for most long trips (2 hours +). I was made to wear them less as I got older with one exception. When I was 13 we went to Mexico and I wore them to the airport, on the plane, and to the hotel. We had one tour as well that was a three hour drive there, a four hour tour, and three hours back. That was the only time I wore diapers for 24 hours and the only time my younger bro and sis were asked to wear them in years(they didn't have bladder problems).

 

My boys (4 and 6) seem to have inherited my problem, we put them in diapers for all longer car trips.

i think this is ok to do..  This way everybody will be happy.. No accidents and the  kids can nap, no angry parents about wet seats in car, no mess to clean up just a simple diaper change at a rest area.

My Daughter Who Is 11, Has No Control Over Her Bladder. When We're In The Car Its Easier For Everyone If She Wears A Diaper Because Most The Time We Cannot Find A Toilet Quick Enough So She Will Wet Herself Or She Will Fall Asleep And Have An Accident, Most The Time Shes Not Aware When Shes Had An Accident So I Have To Cheak Her Diaper . She Hardly Ever Has A Dry Car Trip =L
