Public diaper change dilemma: Privacy vs Convenience
You won’t realize how often a baby needs to be changed until you have one yourself. It can become quite challenging during family outings or traveling to public places. Unchanged diapers would result in fussiness and screams, or worse, could lead to diaper rash and health concerns.
And sometimes, you’re not near a restroom or a changing table and locating one would derail your plans. You might end up changing diapers out in the open because of necessity.
Chikiroo is a wearable changing station you can use to change diapers literally anywhere while standing, sitting or on any flat surface. But how do you change diapers discreetly with Chikiroo at public places? Here are some useful tips to do so safely:
1. On the road or flying
Traveling with a baby is challenging when you do not know if the public places along and at the destination will have any clean changing tables. Whether you’re on the road, at the airport to catch your flight or flying, remember to bring your Chikiroo to give your baby their very own safe, clean and private space to change them anywhere in the world. Here are a few ideas on where to use it:
- In the trunk or the car seat while parked or at the side of the car while standing if there is no space in the car
- Inside a restroom stall at a gas station
- Inside a tiny airplane lavatory while flying
3. Nature, hiking or outdoors
Not many people are usually around when you are surrounded by nature. Hence there is a lower chance of anyone catching you changing your baby out in the open. We recommend locating a safe, shaded and secluded spot like under a tree or on a bench to change your baby with Chikiroo.
Additional Tip: Clip a diaper waste bag dispenser to your Chikiroo for easy soiled diaper disposal until you can find a trash can.
3. Zoo or theme park
When you are in a crowded place like a zoo or theme park, it can be quite challenging to change your baby, especially if you have other kids with you. Restrooms are usually far in-between and long lines add a layer of frustration and stress to an already packed day. Here’s how to avoid all that! Find a safe and secluded corner away from the crowd to change your baby with Chikiroo.
Privacy Tip: Face your baby’s bottom towards the wall or have somebody block the view with their body or hold up a blanket for privacy.
4. Shopping or running errands
As busy parents, we sometimes need to run errands with our baby (and kids) in tow. Unfortunately, babies need to be changed at the most inconvenient time and place like when we’re inside a store. Delaying the diaper change might result in unconsolable cries. If there’s no restrooms or changing tables available inside the place of business, find an empty aisle or corner and make sure no one is nearby before changing the baby with Chikiroo.
Privacy Tip: Drape a breastfeeding cover over your Chikiroo or have someone hold up a blanket for additional privacy while changing in public.
