some thoughts about changing tables...

Having a baby is a life changing experience, for sure.  But only for you - not the rest of the world.  So I certainly don't think everyplace should suddenly have a changing table now that I have a baby.  That said, I do think places that have families as their key demographic or their target audience should have a changing table.

Speaking to the owners of these places:

Doing a quick google image search, I was able to find lots of different pictures of changing tables that can match various decor. They don't have to be big bulky white plastic things. (see picture on the left.) These are by far the most common, but there are also sleek metal ones, like the ones below.  If you think there isn't room, you can use one that drops down over the toilet - if they can have them in airplane bathrooms, chances are it will fit in your place.*

Do the right thing.  Help a momma out.

Sleek and shiny - ooooh!

folding ones fit most anywhere...

* Virgin America has changing tables on every flight - United only on international flights.
