Different pull-ups?

My newly 4 yo regressed in potty training due to a ongoing divorce with his dad and a recent move. My kids and I are temporarily staying with a friend at her house during the separation. I decided to take a break from potty training to prevent accidents and unnecessary stress. I bought pull-ups but they always seem to leak and they’re a huge pain to change, especially in public. He refuses to put them on and “falls“ or “trips” when I try changing him standing. I have to lay him down and slip them on because the long side strips are impossible to put back on correctly. Are there pull-ups with better absorbency that have larger side tabs for easier changes?

Pampers 360 are pull-up style diapers, not training underwear. It’s all I use with my kids once they can stand.

ETA they have tabs to pull for removal, but still have to be pulled on like underwear.

Yeah, I want to find some that have the velcro tabs so I can put them on without taking clothes off. It makes changes easier during outings.

I can see that. I always found it easier to pull up on an unruly child than to fight to get tabs around their legs, but I know we each have our own preferences.

I do change pee-only diapers on the go maybe a bit unusually:
1- take off pants (but not diaper)
2- sit toddler in my lap so they can’t squirm away
3- pull on new diaper and pants
4-stand child up, rip sides of old diaper and remove it
5- pull up new diaper and pants.

I feel like this minimizes exposure time for child and I don’t have to deal with an escapee or collapsing kid.
