Babies & Toddlers
Perth and most major towns have public rooms where parents can nurse their baby or
change nappies; check with the local visitor centre. While many Australians are relaxed
about public breastfeeding or nappy changing, some aren't.
Many motels and larger caravan parks have playgrounds and swimming pools, and can
supply cots and baby baths. Motels in touristy areas may have in-house children's videos
and child-minding services. Top-end and midrange hotels usually welcome families with
children, but some B&Bs market themselves as child-free havens.
Many eateries lack a specialised children's menu, but others do have kids' meals or will
provide smaller servings. Some supply high chairs.
Medical services and facilities are of a high standard, and baby food, formula and dis-
posable nappies are widely available. Major car-hire companies will supply and fit booster
seats for a fee.
