After a frustrating experience trying to change his baby in a public restroom without a changing table, one dad decided it was time for a change.

Another day, another father wishing for a clean place to change his child’s diaper in public without having to kneel on a grimy bathroom floor. Can you believe it? We’ve got self-driving cars, yet some men’s restrooms are still stuck in the past, lacking basic amenities like changing tables.

In this day and age, wouldn’t it be great if every restaurant and business acknowledged the evolving roles of parents and equipped their men’s bathrooms accordingly? One dedicated stay-at-home dad thinks so and has launched a blog called Dads Who Change Diapers to track businesses that cater to fathers who are brave enough to change diapers.

The motivation for his blog came to light during a dinner with his wife at a local diner. When their baby boy needed a diaper change, he eagerly volunteered. As he recounted to K5 News, “I thought, ‘Sure honey, I can handle this!’ I grabbed the diaper bag and my son, but it never crossed my mind that I might find no changing station in the bathroom.”

It’s pretty adorable that he assumed all businesses would be on board with modern parenting norms. It’s 2016, after all! More dads are stepping up and sharing the parenting load, with some even being full-time caregivers. Who would’ve thought?

It must be quite the experience to venture out with your little one, not knowing if you’ll have to deal with a filthy floor to change a diaper. Because, you know, changing a diaper isn’t already messy enough, right? While it’s easy to get frustrated, this dad didn’t just vent his feelings; he took action.

Motivated by his experience, he created a resource for fathers on his blog. He maintains a list of establishments with changing tables in men’s restrooms, allowing dads to find suitable locations when it’s time for a diaper change. This not only helps fathers but also sends a message to businesses that haven’t yet caught up with the times.

Dads can also contribute by adding locations they find, ensuring the site is as comprehensive as possible. Just enter an address or zip code, set a search distance, and the site will show you where the changing tables are located. While it’s unfortunate that such a resource is even necessary, it can certainly come in handy until more public restrooms catch up.

The diner where he faced this issue has since installed a changing table in the men’s room, but many businesses still need to step up. If more stories like this gain traction, perhaps stores and restaurants will finally modernize their facilities without needing public pressure first. Until then, hats off to those advocating for change (pun intended).

In summary, a dad’s advocacy for changing tables in men’s bathrooms highlights the need for modern amenities that recognize the evolving roles of parents. By creating a resourceful blog, he encourages businesses to accommodate fathers and helps other dads find suitable places to change their children. It’s time for society to catch up with the times!
