If your kid has trouble holding his pee in and needs to pee a lot or the kid wets the bed at night and falls asleep in the car then having the kid wear a diaper on the long road trip is a good idea.

When we go on long road trips my two boys who are 6 years old and 9 years old wear diapers when on long road trips because they have wet their pants.

I buy the dollar general Gentle Steps Size 7 diapers for them which are cheap and are really absorbent.

Ale the Gentle Steps Size 7 diapers are not really that babyish and only have a small strip of Velcro where the tabs fasten that is just a picture of a tiger and it's covered by their pants anyway.

Both my 6 year old and 9 year old boy wear the Gentle Steps Size 7 diapers for bed wetting as well as they are really absorbent.

Also when we're out shopping I have them wear a diaper as well because the 6 year old boy especially wets his pants sometimes if we can't find a toilet in time.

The diaper makes it much better for both of them.

Yes older kids and even adults should wear diapers on long road trips.

Diapers on road trips are awesome because you can just pee or poop the diaper and then change later.

No need to stop for a toilet and no need to hold in your pee or poop when on the road trip.

I wear diapers on road trips and all the time as I no longer use a toilet.

Diapers are my toilet.

Of course, older children can still benefit from the advantages of a diaper, for example on longer car trips. If you handle diapers naturally and don't make them into something special, they can be used without age limit.

At our house, diapers are still used every day, during the day and at night. And accordingly, there are no car trips without our boy going to the changing table first. Even for short trips he always wears a diaper.
