Are you sick and tired of sub standard parent rooms in your area?
Check out these photos from Mt Pleasant Woolworths Parents Room. These photos are courtesy of the Mackay Needs Better Parents Rooms group campaigning for better facilities to look after their children.
Small hallway to the Parent Room. Sadly it’s not wide enough to cater for a twin pram.
The room itself does not offer a toilet. This is pretty bad for mums and dads who might need to use the toilet while they’re out with the kids in the pram.
The breastfeeding couch. Not exactly comfortable or overly practical.
At least the bench with the sinks and microwave were clean. Nice to see two sinks. One for food prep and the other for washing hands after nappy changes. Would be better to have them on separate benches on opposite sides of the room. The music in this room is ridiculously loud. It’s not necessary in a Parents Room to have piped music.
A pretty basic long bench along the wall for nappy changes. A few proper change bays built into the bench would be a nice touch. It’s quite a foul smelling room. Perhaps the nappy bins should be changed a little more often!!
Look at this change bench! Why aren’t the nappy bins underneath the bench? They’re taking up valuable space being placed against the adjacent wall. Maybe the empty cardboard box is also for nappy disposal, as the smell of the room implies the bins aren’t emptied that regularly.
