If your bub was born in APril this year, you'll be doing this soon? while bub is still in watery, explosive poo stage?

i could not personally imagine doing this unless i had access to a Little Squirt (attached to a normal loo).

i can imagine doing what you're suggesting, when child is at the "formed poo" stage, when the poo sits on a flushable liner, but not at the watery, explosive nb poo stage.

i must be a wuss, cos no-one else seems phased by this.

the washing part - depends where you are - i guess tiny out of the way places would not have a laundrette - i have read of people making their own washing situation e.g they put a esky (just for washing nappies) in the back of the truck/4wd - and as they drive along, the motion of the driving, agitates the nappies to be washed in the esky (full of hot sudsy water i suppose).

Some nappy fabrics will start to disintegrate, go holey on you, if nappies are left in a drypail for days on end.

all in twos (with snap in boosters) and pockets (with stuffable inserts) is what i'd use - after the nb stage - for quick drying.
for the nb runny poo stage - i'd stick with prefolds and covers with leg gussets - quick drying and great for pootainment.
i'd be waterproofing the baby seat too, for a long trip. i got a great purpose made mat for car seat from Haggles and Stokkus (around $25, absorbent part was hemp).

i would set off with a HUGE wetbag for the pretend nappy bucket e.g the Swaddlebee "pail liner" wetbag - about $30
a few baby beehinds wetbags (enough room to hold a day's nappies) - they're around $16 each i think


i would have a trial run at a local laundromat - to help you work thru - "what will i REALLY need on hand when we do this for real"?

you could also think about part time EC-ing (to cut down on nappy usuage) - there is a great website on that subject - tribalbaby.

have a wonderful time! live the dream!
