Why does using the toilet have to be so difficult when you have a baby with you? It is quickly becoming my pet hate at the minute.
I can use the baby changing room and fit the pushchair in but there is never a toilet in there.
I can use the ladies toilets but I can't fit the pushchair in the cubicle so have the choice of leaving Munchie outside the cubicle or having to wee with the cubicle door open (I choose the later).
I would love to use the disabled toilet and wee with the door closed and have my child in the room with me but disabled toilets are largely radar key operated.
Then, there are the resturants etc who either provide no baby changing facilities or the ones who provide facilities but located them in the ladies toilets. What about dads who want to be involved in the care of their child or dads out alone?
Is it really that difficult to provide easily accessible facilities? Are these places designed by people who have not had children?
Am I alone in my pet hate or are you as fustrated?

I hear you - I had a meltdown at Heathrow Airport when they would not let me into the disabled toilet to try to circumvent this exact problem. Just put a toilet in the baby change room.
I don't know why it is so hard to think that mums may need a wee at the same time as changing a nappy?
I remember traveling with my 6 when they were tiny up to my parents on a 4 hour drive and not allowing myself a drink for 2 hours before the journey in case I needed to stop for a wee! It was OK to stop for the kids but impossible for me to get 3 tots and triple buggy in ANY toilet!
This was one of the reasons I ended up ditching the buggy in favour of a sling - life just isn't set up for buggys and I was so frustrated at being unable to do things easily (and you can go to the loo with baby still strapped to you!)
Ha, yes. Already mastered the loo stops with sling on. You get some strange looks when you head into a cubicle.
