Moms share 34 ways businesses can do better for parents
"I will never forget the day I realized how rare it is to see businesses support parents -or what a huge impact even the tiniest efforts can make. "We're just going to run into the store for a few quick things!" I called to my two kids with confidence as I unloaded them from the car, skipping the bulky stroller and putting my one-year-old in the shopping cart seat."
"But what should have been a simple trip took a turn when we unexpectedly needed to visit the restroom. As any mom knows, this is where things can start to unravel: You can't take the cart inside, so what are you supposed to do with your not-yet-walking child while you help the bigger one use the toilet? And how are you supposed to use the toilet yourself while also holding a squirmy baby?"
"I opened the door and braced myself for the chaos that would certainly come-so when I stepped into a large stall and saw a strap-in "baby holder" attached to the wall, I could have wept with relief. Then, the appreciation rolled in: These wall-mounted baby safety seats are a game-changer for parents who are tasked with taking kids to the restroom."
A parent recounts a short shopping trip that became difficult when restroom access was needed with two young children. The parent could not take the cart inside and faced the problem of holding a squirmy baby while helping the older child use the toilet. Finding a wall-mounted strap-in baby holder in a large stall provided immediate relief and highlighted how impactful small accommodations can be. The parent notes that such simple supports are surprisingly rare across public and commercial spaces, and suggests other low-cost measures like a $15 step stool to help children reach sinks.
