BABY CARE:
In Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, baby change facilities are located
mainly in the Ladies toilets. However, there is a facility situated
in the Terminal 1 Arrivals Area that can be used by either parent.
Passengers travelling from Terminal 1 can now appreciate the benefits
of the new look baby change facility at Manchester Airport. The
new facility on level 5 is part of a phased development to upgrade
all the baby change rooms at the Airport.
Customers will be able to expect a lot more than the basic unit,
especially as they may be travelling for several hours on a flight.
The new unit boasts attractive decor, a children's high chair to
restrain older toddlers in safety, a bottle warmer, a soft padded
changing mat and a specially designed chair for nursing mothers.
Full safety instructions are also clearly displayed.
In Terminal 2, baby change facilities are located next to selected
Ladies and Gents toilets, for use by either parent. These facilities
are clearly signposted in each terminal.
