I hate public bathrooms, period. Lol. I still wrestle with keeping my 15 year old daughter germ free in them. Ugh. She is as bad as a 5 year old. I have to tell her not to touch anything 10 times and don’t even get me started on her not using a seat protector. I know she doesn’t. I just know it. Then she comes home and puts her germy rear on my toilet seat. Eeeek. Okay, I’m a little crazier than the average mom when it comes to germs. It’s the OCD, seriously. But just eeeew to bathrooms that aren’t mine at home, period.

I have to agree and disagree with the IKEA-bathroom-lovers. We spent several hours there today, with 2 trips to the bathroom – first was the family bathroom, a separate 2-room “suite” with a nursing chair, changing table, IKEA stepstool for the sink, – great, but no hooks anywhere to hang coats/diaper bags, and only an air dryer for hands. Second trip was the regular women’s bathroom (because the family room was in use), which didn’t have any stepstools for the sink and only the super-powerful Dyson hand dryers – I just told my son to wipe his hands on his pants.

we always have issues too. A walmart close to us (just built like 6 months ago) in their family restroom has a little bitty potty just for the kiddos and a little bitty sink for them to use. This is great and the best part is it is ALWAYS extremely clean. I hope it continues to stay that way.

Also we visited the newly built Sam’s Club yesterday and their family restroom also offered the same thing which was great. Not if they all were like that and the malls are always the worse

Love it! Have you seen Kohl’s bathroom? Ours has a family bathroom, and inside there is a regualar toilet and a minature toilet. There is also a regular sink and a mini sink. I wish every place had a bathroom as kid friendly as kohls!

Don’t forget having the garbage can at the furthest point from the changing table as possible.

Bathrooms which don’t have a changing station at all! WHY?!

Our mall has a “lullaby lounge” which not only consists of a private area to comfortably nurse, but also, a changing area, and a bathroom with a real working toddler-size toilet and a toddler size sink as well.

I am OCD in bathrooms. My 3 year old is trained to not only stand still but not touch anything. We’ve had that down pat at 12 months LOL! I freak if anyone touches anything.

I always use the handicap stall. I’m sorry if that upsets people but Its hard enough that there is NO space. In there alone you can feel like when you stand up you kiss the door.

I can’t stand the automatics its usually when you go down to help them with their underwear. I taught Gavin to turn fast LOL
