In yet another example of how America seems to fall just bit short when it comes to easing the stressors of parents, Nickelle Mickelsen shared her favorite things about living in Okinawa, Japan as an American mom.
First, Mickelson notes that Japan has 'baby rooms everywhere you go' before scanning one of the rooms with her phone. Japan baby rooms look extremely clean and include padded changing tables and state-of-the-art diaper bins so that the rooms stay fresh. As far as nursing rooms go, Mickelsen says they're easy to find and designed for a nursing mother's comfort.
Instead of having to lug around a giant stroller or wagon on and off public transit, which can be a pain in the neck especially when out and about alone with your kids, Japan offers clean and sanitized strollers for parents 'everywhere,' according to Mickelsen. Japanese hotels often offer adorable, kid-sized PJs, slippers, and toothbrushes to make the stay more comfortable for families, and local restaurants provide kids' spaces so parents can eat in peace while kids play.
