There needs to be a baby changing toilet in men’s toilets as well as women’s!

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The amount of times my partner has gone to take our baby out and has struggled to find a baby changing toilet that wasn’t in the women’s toilets to change his babies nappy!
It’s unfair on all dads / male guardians, they take their babies out for a fun day out or even a simple shopping trip and are 95% of the time, unable to change their child’s nappy or clothes due to not having access to a changing room / unit. The women’s toilets, 98% of the time, have a baby changing toilet. So why don’t men? How are they supposed to care for their babies when they can’t even change them in private?
