Heathrow Airport terminal 3

Terrible facilities at Heathrow terminal 3. Given how busy the airport terminal is and how many families fly with young children, having two cubicles (that lock) that double up as a nappy changing facility & "nursing room" a plastic chair that is inside the nappy room along with the 4 smelly nappy bins, it's a real disgrace and really pays lip service only to the idea.

We were lucky and the room was empty, but having changed our eldest whilst I breastfed the youngest, and then changed him, the queue outside was huge (sorry!) and some poor parents were resorting to changing their child on the floor outside.

The "nursing" room was also filthy dirty and looked like it had been weeks since a cleaner had last been there.

Cambridge

Two locations, Cambridge (UK):

1) Lion Yard, public amenities - there's a baby changing area next to the toilet cubicles, in the ladies toilets. There's a plastic chair hidden away discretely. It's a public toilet so it's a bit smelly, and it's not very comfortable, but it will do.

2) Robert Sayle / John Lewis - the new building next to the post office in the centre of town. On the third floor there are lovely amenities, including a fantastic parent & child toilet area with a toddler sized & height toilet bowl & seat. There's even a hot/cold water dispenser with plastic cups! Only gripe would be that there isnt enough buggy space - there are 3 comfy seats for feeding, but no room to put the buggys out of the way whilst you are feeding.
