When your toddler keeps taking his diaper off it can sometimes be a sign of potty training readiness.

So I would first take the toddler to the toilet and at least introduce the toddler to the toilet and let them know that if they use the toilet then they won't have to wear the diaper anymore.

But if they are not ready to use the toilet and still won't keep their diaper on you should get some rolls of packing tape which you can get cheap at the dollar tree and then run a few wraps of the packing tape around your toddlers diaper.

That will make it so the toddler is unable to get the tabs off the diaper.

You'll have to use scissors to cut the tape off and remove the diaper when it's time to change his diaper but it does work to keep the diapers on.

Also you could put a pair of footy pajamas on your toddler backwards with the zipper in the back and then pin the zipper shut.

But the packing tape is usually enough to keep your toddlers diaper on.

Sometimes but not always when a toddler is removing his diaper it can be a sign that he is ready to potty train and stop wearing diapers so maybe try putting him on the toilet and tell him that if he uses the toilet he won't need to wear the diapers anymore.

But he still may not be ready for the toilet and if he still takes the diaper off and pants you may need to put some packing tape around his diaper to help keep the diaper on him.

Packing tape around the diaper will prevent him from removing the tabs on the diaper so he'll keep it on.

I had to put packing tape on my 2 year old boys diaper because he refused to use the toilet and would pee on the floor after he removed his diaper.

He hated wearing the diaper but since he would not use the toilet he had to wear the diaper.

After putting the packing tape around his diaper he was unable to get the diaper off and so he couldn't pee on the floor anymore.

He finally went to the toilet when he was almost 4 years old and stopped wearing diapers.

Some kids take their pants and diaper off simply because they hate wearing the diaper or pants or they just like the reaction they get from you.
