I don't like to brag, but . . .
To my shame, I must admit that I am still smarted than my 2 year old son.
He has developed a new hobby, instant diaper removal... it is how he "entertains" himself between the hours or 6:00am and 8:00am and between 1:30 pm and 4:30 pm what makes this "hobby" annoying is that once said urine entrapment device is removed, he then goes on to soil his sheets, and the padding underneath... This can be a hassle, especially when LOML neglects to wash said soiled bed linens in a timely (immediate) manner. I absolutely abhor the smell of day old urine. so, I got to thinking, what do I have around the house that would prevent my genius level repeat offender from removing his diaper he is fascinated by all things mechanical, I will exploit this later in the form of cheap shop help, and lawn care services, but I digress I have a stapler, but that would only keep the tabs on the diaper from being opened for so long, since the material is quite flimsy I have quick clamps, but that is just impractical. I have clear packing take, EUREKA! this will defeat those inquisitive little fingers that just love the feel of that fake velcro on the front of the diaper. so last night, I applied about 3" of the clear packing tape to the front of the diaper, and almost immediately I had a reaction . . . from my wife who was quite distraut that I would tape our son's diaper to him. After about 10 minutes of patiently explaining my devious plan, she relented, and said with a sever tone, something to the effect of "he had better not get that tape stuck to his nose" no why would anyone think that the nose is the first place that tape is going to go... guess you have to be a gal... well, fast forward to this morning, and what do I hear over the baby monitor... that;s right, my son, who is trying to figure out what strange black magic has transformed the front of his diaper from that 30 second oasis of tactile and auditory delight into a crinkling, impentrable, smooth wall of unyielding denial... Final score, Dad with packing tape 1... Son with overly curious fingers 0 and now for the PAT... I will see to what advantage packing tape can be put to on some of my daugters more annoying habits... by the way, does anyone know where I can get packing tape with hypo-allergenic adhesive? she has sensitive skin JUST KIDDING

Brilliant solution! That would be something I would do, and my wife would get mad at me for it. Another option would be pull-ups or swim diapers. Neither of those have the tabs to undo. You either have to pull them off or rip the sides.

I knew there was a reason I wanted to be able to hand kids back
 A better reason for making sure the diaper stays attached. When the child becomes mobile, no telling where the diaper may be left behind...face down.  Hmmmm. I wonder if I can tape the cats' mouths closed so they stop leaving gifts on the new carpet?

I have an autistic/delayed grandson who is now 12-y.o. and 130-lbs. He has a penchant for removing his (adult) diaper at night and shredding it into hundreds of bits about the size of a pumpkin seed... I tried the packing tape bit about a year ago without the same success as you. He's just too strong. I built him a bed that we thought would be too heavy for him to move (he also likes rearranging furniture). Built entirely from 2X SYP lumber, it took 3 adults to move it into the house and bolt it together. Conservatively, it weighs 300 pounds... The second morning after he got it, we found it on the other side of the room, upside down... Some things, ya just gotta learn to live with.
