My friend Julie gets credit for this idea. She just told me that her mom always keeps a spare diaper in their car glove compartment... and it's not for toddlers' accidents! She uses it when someone spills something in the car.
This was an idea born of necessity -- as all great ideas are -- and one that really works. She had a small passenger who caused a big spill, and there was nothing in the car to clean it with. So, she looked through the diaper bag. All she saw was a diaper. That was the AHA! moment. Diapers are incredibly absorbent! She opened up the diaper and laid it on the spill. It soaked it right up. Now she keeps a spare diaper in her glove compartment all the time.
I have some swimming diapers that Emma didn't use once she was potty trained. I'm thinking that those might work? So they're headed for the van. It works for me!

Ummm BRILLIANT!!!
That's just amazing!
Great tip!
Great Idea! I recently spilled water in my own seat and grabbed a diaper as to not get my pants wet but I STILL didn't think to have one ready for future use :)
That is a great idea.
But I don't think swim diapers are more absorbant. I think they put less, absorbies in them, so that babies aren't so heavy in the water. But I actually have no idea.
Life if good is correct, swim diapers are not absorbent. They are basically made to hold in #2 accidents and that's about it.
