Here we go. I'm preparing for a really obvious answer to be revealed.

You are strolling around town with baby in pram/pushchair. You do not have friends or DP/DH with you. You need a pee. You cannot wait until you get home. You venture into the loos kindly provided by debenhams/M&S?wherever....

what do you do with the baby?
Because that buggy won't fit in a cubicle now will it?!

leave baby outside cubicle? leave buggy but carry baby in and do funky dance trying to hold baby and lower/raise own pants etc? use buggy as modesty screen?!

Disabled toilet everytime and I don't feel guilty about it. Surely they're meant for people who can't access toilets for a variety of reasons! I used them when I was pregnant too, usually to save me going up and down stairs.

Baby in wrap, just have to make sure the ends don't dangle in the bowl... but seconding the John Lewis nods, adding Selfridges which has extremely civilised nursing recliners in Oxford Street and proposing an award of some sort to Westfield shopping centre which has a baby changing area, cubicles for breast feeding, a toddler holding area complete with largescreen TV on endless babyshow loop and a microwave for heating feeds if you are bottle feeding. Shame its such a pitiless chasm of hell in every other way.
