When you go for a drive somewhere do you pack extra clothes for your children?

Children get dirty by food accidents or someother means of soiled clothes.Do you bring an extra change of spare clothes with you?Ive learnt to bring a spare set for my daughter because of the juice accidents and such.That way she can change into something dry and not have to fuss all the way back home.lol:)

Yes I do bring spare clothes for my daughter most of the time,unless its just a quick trip to the store and back. I actually keep a set of clothes in the car for those times you plan on coming right home but something comes up and you end up being out all day,its a good thing to have always!

Thats funny because just today when we wre getting ready to go out and I told my daughter hold on mommy needs to go to the bathroom, well she followed as usual and I asked her if she could get me a pad from the drawer then she ran out of the bathroom ever so sneaky. Well we were out for most of the day, when a friend of mine called to see if we wanted to meet at the park for a play date. I said sure but give us a while I need to run home, afte I hung up my daughter said Mommy I dont wanna go home I want to go to the park! I told her mommy forgot something I really need. Her responce was NOT UH MOMMY I packed you some pads in the accident bag! OH MY I about Fell over! It was too cute and even thought that wasnt the only thing I needed I called my friend and took my daughter straight to the park for being so thoughtful and called my husband to bring me my Iron pill =)

I keep an outfit in the diaper bag I usually carry. In my car, I have a second diaper bag that contains another outfit for my daughter, a shirt for me (that paid off when she puked on me at the grocery store), extra diapers, etc. That way if I'm out longer than I originally planned, I'm not going to run out of supplies.

We are the same!lol.I always leave a bag in my car that stays there all the time with extra stuff in it.I actually forgot it was there one time when we went to the grocery store and she was thirsty and opened a juice and squeezed it too hard and the juice flew out all over her shirt.I had a busy morning to do stuuf and she said "mommy,get a shirt in my dora bag in the car."I was happy when i saw that bag!lol:)

For my 3 year old I keep a spare set in my car and then I bring along anohter pair of underclothes just incase. If we are going to be gone a long time, I even pack an extra pair of clothes for my 6 year old.

oh yes. I have this grooming kit for my children in the car all the time. It has extra clothes, underwear, hand sanitizer, cologne, etc. in it. When we have to go somewhere and we have to use public transportation, I always bring extra shirts for the little ones. You're right, little kids seems to get messy easily. They like spaghetti and eating that can be such a mess :)

Not always. It really depends on the age my kids are at the time and how far from home we will be. If I'm just running to the store then, no I don't. If we're going to be gone all day and doing something may be messing then yes.
