I'd bought a dozen specifically for that purpose! They pack nice and flat taking up little space, can be washed in a tub if I didn't have access to a washer (which was most of the time) then hung to dry overnight, doubled as spit rags & changing mats AND I never had to worry about getting stranded in an airport and running out of diapers (I never had to wash a diaper in an airport bathroom, but I could have if I needed too). Over the course of 3 years I took my daughter all over Europe (even staying in hostels!) and they never let me (or her) down!

Cloth diapering is only a pain if you let yourself think it is. I don't see why cloth diapering when you travel would be a pain unless there is no reasonable access to a washing machine. Just make sure you have a travel bag that holds soiled wet diapers. I have a planet wise one.To make it easier even thought its not that green. If you are traveling in an airport and a poop happens use flushable wipes so that way you can dumb the poop and the wipes in the toliet. Its all mind over matter really.

We just don't have the guts to CD on the go. We've been away three weeks of his short life (almost 6 months old) already and used disposables every trip. Mind you we chose 7th Generation to feel better about it but we were still a bit guility. When visiting my parents they do have a washing machine but have hard well water. When we went with my fiance on a work trip the hotel has washers but cost $2 to wash $2 to dry!!! I can't see handwashing a days worth of stinkiy diapers in the hotel sink either, where would you hang them all?! If we took a short weekend trip i could see schleping the dirty ones home.
