While it may be true that babies have far bigger needs than adults, their mothers have needs, too. So if you’re a mom like me who juggles multiple tasks at the same time – taking care of the baby while making sure that the rest of the family is not feeling left out – anything, and I mean ANYTHING, that can make our lives a lot easier are always welcome.
I don’t know about you but I have had a lot of encounters with emergency cases – and by emergency, I mean not having a proper changing table when my baby and I badly need one. But thanks to the genius behind this project, I am now one happy mom.
