A mum has raised eyebrows after she used a wearable changing station to change her baby’s nappy in the middle of a store.
The mum explained in a video that she doesn’t like taking her newborn to the bathroom and using the public changing station because of germs. So she revealed how she changes her little one on-the-go, using a wearable changing station from Chikiroo.
“So easy to use,” she explained in an Instagram video. “You just tie it around your waist and clip it, and the same around your neck. And it has adjustable straps with locks. All you have to do is put your baby on the changing table, and there’s also additional straps to strap him in.”
The video attracted thousands of comments from other parents, with many saying they would never change their baby in public. While others questioned just how ‘easy’ it is to use.
“In the middle of the store? Absolutely not,” said one person.
“What the actual hell??? Please consider other people out here. I don’t want to be seeing or smelling that while I’m trying to shop. Jeez the way people keep coming up with ways to be disrespectful in public spaces,” added another.
“Perfect for perverts to take photos of your baby without a diaper….please protect your child better,” another pointed out.
“Let me break my neck and back and strangle myself a little bit.”
The brand behind the changing station defended its product in the comments, saying, “We like to reshare videos posted by our users and can’t control when one goes viral. In our product manual, we recommend using Chikiroo at a safe, shaded and secluded spot in public.
“We agree with most here to best use it inside a restroom for privacy if/when possible. But we can’t predict where parents would use Chikiroo since it can be used literally anywhere, like this mum inside store. The good thing about Chikiroo’s versatility is that parents can control where they change their baby and can go anywhere for privacy.”
So what do you think? Is this a great invention, or unnecessary? Let us know in the comments below.
