Open Require every baby changing room to have a toilet for the parent

Created by Stephanie Bailey
Closes on

I want it to be mandatory that every baby changing room should have a toilet. If you are out on your own, with your baby, and you need the toilet, there is usually nowhere to go. You can’t leave your baby and use the women’s/men’s toilet, and 80% of baby changing rooms I’ve used don’t have a toilet.

I believe having a toilet in a baby changing room would also help families. As a mother who has had a baby and a small toddler, it’s impossible to take your baby in the pram, or carry them into a toilet cubicle to help your toilet trained toddler. I want to be able to use the toilet, knowing that baby is safely in their pram, within my sight. “Family changing rooms” should include a nappy changing station, a toilet and a sink, meaning that every member of the family can go to the toilet safely.
