Good Points: Big easy to open door, which is lockable from the inside. Combined with disabled toilet. Wall mounted fold out baby change table. Low set sink with soap and paper towels.
Bad Points: No where for parents to sit down and feed their baby. No food prep facilities like a microwave or bottle warmer. Very cold in winter. Not terribly clean, although the floor had just been mopped moments before the photos were taken.
Thanks to my dear Father In Law for taking these photos for me. I had no idea the Woolies complex at Lithgow had a disabled toilet, let alone a baby change table. Wonder if the mums in the area know about it too?
Anyway, the baby change table is inside the disabled bathroom. The door is wide enough for a double pram, which is hard to find in anything other than an auto-slide doorway. It also locks from the inside, which is a huge plus.
Inside there’s loads of room. It’s not overly clean, but the floors had only just been mopped and it looked like the rest of the room was undergoing the daily overhaul. Maybe my FIL got there right at the end of the high traffic period. Anyway, I’m just excited to find another baby change facility in Lithgow! This is the closest one you’ll find to Main Street.
In addition to the wall mounted, fold out baby change table, there’s a disabled toilet with assistance rails. These come in handy for little ones learning to use the toilet. The sink is low enough for little ones to reach. There’s soap and paper towel too. Much prefer paper towel to a hand dryer any day.
So my call out to the mums and dads in Lithgow, let me know if you knew about this Parent Room! We’ll have to spread the word about it.
