If you are a parent to a toddler age or younger kid, you would probably have faced the embarrassment of changing your baby’s diapers while you are out for fresh air with the child in some public place like a park. However bothersome this diaper-changing in public places may sound, it is more harmful than the way it appears at first. It can put the child at an increased risk of catching infectious microbes like bacteria and rotavirus, which cause digestive and urinary problems in the child. Diaper-changing problems in public places can be listed as follows:
- Parents wait for their turn to change the baby’s diapers outside the busy public restrooms.
- Even the putative family-friendly restaurants often lack the facility of hygienic changing tables. Hence, parents have to place the baby on the floor for cleaning and diaper-changing.
- Both diaper changing tables (available in some public restrooms) and commercial changing mats are contaminated with surface bacteria and viruses that can cause infection (sometimes serious) in the child.
- Tourist parents are frequently confronted with the problem of finding the nearest diaper-changing station (public restroom) while the need to have their baby’s diaper changed spoils their excursion.
These problems need to be resolved in order to let parents enjoy a weekend out with their kids. The solution to this ‘diaper-changing bug’ has recently been provided in the form of BabyDeck™ Stroller- a baby-carrier that has an in-built diaper-changing table. It has an easy-to-operate, foldable diaper-changing platform that allows the parents to change their child’s diapers anytime, anywhere, and in only a few minutes. What you do here is unfold the platform, that is part of the stroller’s seat, by slightly moving the baby’s bottom, and change the diapers. It is important to carry a non-toxic, safe disinfectant spray (or any good cleaning agent) so as to clear away any leakage from the diaper. Fold the table back into the seat and the job is done without involving any embarrassment or risk of infection. BabyDeck™ Strollers are both parent and child friendly and are available online at http://www.mybabydeck.com.
