Rejected petition There needs to be a baby changing toilet in men’s toilets as well as women’s!

The amount of times my partner has gone to take our baby out and has struggled to find a baby changing toilet that wasn’t in the women’s toilets to change his babies nappy!

More details

It’s unfair on all dads / male guardians, they take their babies out for a fun day out or even a simple shopping trip and are 95% of the time, unable to change their child’s nappy or clothes due to not having access to a changing room / unit. The women’s toilets, 98% of the time, have a baby changing toilet. So why don’t men? How are they supposed to care for their babies when they can’t even change them in private?
