'Kid-friendly' Amenities check

I have seen a lot of Accessibility features, toilets facilities and LGBT friendly posts on Connect but posts on highlighting 'Kid-friendly Amenities are few.

As a mother of a toddler i always check if a place is Kid-friendly keeping my daughter in mind!
Like me she loves to travel and i take her wherever i go so for me ensuring if a place is Kid-friendly is very important.

Why Kid-Friendly Amenities Matter?
When choosing a restaurant, hotel, mall, or public space, kid-friendly amenities matters, Spaces designed with children in mind create a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for both kids and parents.

Here’s what you can check to ensure if a place is Kid-friendly:

â—Ź High Chairs
â—Ź Safety rails
â—Ź Stroller Accessibility
â—Ź Kid-friendly bathroom (with lower sinks)
â—Ź Baby care stations
● Kids’ menu
â—Ź And lastly, Play area to keep your little one entertained.

Here are some Kid-friendly places i have been to :

Ahmedia Restaurant, Tamilnadu
(They have high chairs, baby care room, kid-friendly bathroom, kid-friendly menu and a play area.)

Al taj Restaurant,Tamilnadu
(They have high chairs, kid-friendly menu and lower sink)

Chennai international airport
(They have baby care and play area)

Elements mall,Bengaluru
(They have baby care room)

And there are so many more Kid-friendly places i have a separate saved list for it.

Kids rely on us so it’s our responsibility to safeguard their comfort.

Thank you for reading my post.

Thank you @ShifaAymal for giving us a insights on kid friendly features.

I didn’t known some of these like stroller Accessibility. Thank you once again for giving us a thought to contribute to that in future. Also most of Active LGs like @TusharSuradkar and @TravellerG contribute to Kid-friendly feature in Maps (personally known).

In special days like children’s day, most of lg have been putting out the information they known of kid-friendliness to the community.

What I seen missing from Maps is “feeding room” feature which I seen in most museums or tourist attractions (Maps doesn’t have a category for that). I hope in future, we might get that.

Baby care room can also be used as feeding room @Rahul001
It’s a combined feature.

I have only seen half of those in main cities even … Most are not marked on google maps and some of the business doesn’t even consider them … Same goes for most of the local guides… We mainly focus on other accessibility features… @ShifaAymal thanks for opening and insight to what we haven’t put importants to

This is true @SarathUpendran
Not all parents prefer travelling with kids, that’s why business owners too don’t consider them.
And yes, a lot of local guides too neglect the kid-friendly features because of lack of knowledge about it. These features are very useful and important to me as i frequently travel with my kid, that’s why i shared.

Brilliant post @ShifaAymal:slight_smile:
