re: Changing baby in public

Quoting ☮♥&Babies!:“ awwlol we are going to start training noah as soon as the baby comes... i am not looking forward to that=/”

It is cute. i take her in with me when I go and she sits on her potty. I want her at least partially trained by the time the new baby gets here.

Quoting Kenz&LilysMommy:“ They SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PROVIDE ONE! If you dont like it, dont eat there! So if the womens restroom is closed does that give you permission to walk to the table and take a smurf? I highly doubt it!”

 

Quoting Kenz&LilysMommy:“ So even provided a changing table youd still change your child in the booth? Lazy!”

No I wouldn't. You're insinuating that people who change their children other than the bathroom or a car *(when there's no changing table) are lazy. Boo freaking hoo. You'll get over it I'm sure.

It gives me permission to go use the men's and hope that I don't walk out of a stall when some guy is peeing.  

Quoting Beth [Tegan's Mommy]:“ Exactly. If they don't provide a place for me to do it then I will do it where I please in a tasteful manner.”

There is no tasteful manner to change a childs poopy diaper on a tabletop or counterop in the middle of a restaurant.

Quoting Kenz&LilysMommy:“ Ive never seen any written law that any restaurant has to provide one.”

It's common sense to think that maybe... just maybe... you might have a parent come in to your establishment, with their child/children in tow.
Why does there need to be a law...?

Quoting [Tasha^Nika]:“ Ask the tablecloth and silverware and plates to be reset, if it's a proper restaurant they've no problem ... [snip!] ... still waiting for my table. If it's a cafe or fast food joint then it's their policy to be equipped with changing stations.”

Many restaurants don't have tablecloths

idealy that would have been me
but someone didnt decided to walk until a month ago lol

The typical Koala Bear Care changing table costs $181.00.

I’d say that is cheaper than risking the health department and fines. There is no excuse for restaurants, especially family oriented restaurants, to not have one.

I've seen alot of these so called "family restaurants " that have playscapes and kid menus with crayons but no changing tables in the bathroms. It's ridiculous. Makes me want to smear a dirty diaper on the wall to make a point lol.

Quoting Addison's Mama!:“ It doesn't matter, it's still nasty imo. There's a better place to change a baby, then on a table where you eat. Why not put a changing pad down on the seat if you're in a booth?”

MUCH rather see that and have it sprayed and wiped...

Of course Id get over it. BUT There are other options, always as opposed to a location in which/where food is placed & served. Stick them on a countertop, your lap, the car, heck the office!!!! It is gross and a complaint would be filed via the health dept. as would word be spread about the conditions of the restaurant to friends/family

Quoting Due with #2 in 01-2010:“ Yep, even before we really knew them I asked if there was a better place to change the baby and the owner cleared off her desk and let me lay down my changing pad and change her there.”

yep, most places will

Great research. I think $181 is a more than acceptable fee if you consider how much they blow on lame decor that people never notice.
