Diaper changing stations

So I just thought about this scenario and thought I should blog about it.  I recently (over Easter) traveled back to my home state of Indiana and spent A LOT of time in airports with an almost 4 year old and 3 month old baby.  So of course, while I was there we had to go and change diapers and use the bathroom.  In Indianapolis, there was this beautiful family bathroom, that even came equipped with a seat to trap a toddler into while you used the toilet.  LOVE it!  While I didn't actually use the seat, I can understand the need for it and am thankful that someone else thought to put it in there.

However, once in Baltimore, where I had a layover, I went into the restroom to change a diaper and the changing station was outside the stall.  So I change the diaper and go to throw it away, and the trash can is on the other side of the restroom.  Who thought of that?  Someone who doesn't have to change diapers, for sure!  While I applaud the airport for having the changing station outside of the restroom, because frankly what do handicapped people do when parents of young children are in their handicapped stalls changing a diaper, I still find it difficult to manuver with two small children.  The family bathroom is by far the best thought that someone in airports has ever had.  That along with family boarding.  I applaud that as well.
