I spotted this during my visit to the states. Finally a solution to the problem of a father taking his young daughter to a men's room with urinals, or little boys pishing up the seats of the ladies loo, or female caregivers helping elderly men to to the 00 etc.
It's a great idea!! We have something similar to these in Australia for Mums, Dads, children and babies but they're called a 'Baby Change Room'. There is a section with cubicles for private feeding of babies, a nappy changing area, a play area for siblings while mum feeds the baby and usually a section with little sized toilets for young children. In larger cities like Sydney they even have a microwave for heating baby bottles and baby food. They are great, for not just Mums but Dads also!
ReplyDeleteHere, most baby change rooms are by the Women.
ReplyDeleteThings have improved though. In the store in which I work, we sometimes put a bench in the changing room so mothers can breastfeed.
I like them a lot! They've only been around the past few years and still aren't available everywhere but I've been seeing them more and more now. I know my husband tries to use them when he's out and about with our 3 year old daughter.
