What is a Parents Room?
Parents rooms offer a safe, private place for men and women to feed, change and care for their young children while they are out and about. They should provide:
- easy pram access
- a place to feed in privacy
- comfortable seating
- clean environment
- nappy changing area
- sink with hand drying facilities, and
- waste containers.
Some also have a confined play area and a special, smaller toilet for toddlers.
