A recent article in the Braintree & Witham Times features a young father who went shopping with his one year old daughter, but was unable to use the public toilets as he couldn’t get her pushchair inside with him.
You can’t just leave your child outside while you pop in for a quick visit, so what do you do? The man in question simply walked back to his car and drove home. But what would he have done if he’d arrived by bus?
It’s easy to forget that men often do go shopping with their children in tow, and this should be kept in mind for all new builds of toilets (if there ever are any).
He has started his own campaign on Facebook for parent and child public toilets with baby changing facilities, so if any of you feel like signing his petition his name is Malcolm Featonby.
