Parents Face Backlash After Changing Baby's Diaper On Chipotle Dining Table

111. I changed my then 12 month old grand-daughter in a pedestal sink at a restaurant once.

We also had one of those folding changing pads that went in the diaper bag to put under her so that we could change her pretty much anywhere without too much mess.
And my stepdaughter used to change her in their nice folding traveling stroller where the back dropped down into a sleeper if she was caught somewhere without a bathroom changing table nearby until "M" got too big for the stroller. By that time, she was pretty much potty trained anyway, and diapers had been transitioned to easy to change out of pull-ups were only worn if there was a potential "no nearby bathroom" situation.
"M" was perfectly happy being changed in the sink in a pinch. And it was easy to clean up afterwards.

When babies are small, it's very easy to change them in a public bathroom, no matter how small a space is available. It starts getting difficult around 26 months, but by then, you should be able to change them standing up if you need to.

I've never had children of my own, but I am aware of basic public health requirements and even when exhausted, can think at least to the edges of "the box" when faced with something I'm not prepared for. Circumstances where there is Poop and Pee ("M" loves to sing that out when she has to go) should automatically trigger the "find a bathroom or someplace away from food or other people eating" reaction.

No excuse whatsoever for such lack of awareness of their surroundings - Those self-absorbed parents weren't thinking at all.
