60% of parents find changing a diaper in public stressful, according to new findings from Skip Hop, and with 40% delaying diaper changes to avoid using public changing tables, the baby and toddler brand announced Clean Slate Rescue. This summer initiative includes a pop-up tour that brings a Clean Slate Changing Station and other portable diaper-changing essentials to families in moments of need. The portable Clean Slate Changing Station is designed to cover existing public changing tables with a clean surface and fold for ease of use on the go, putting an end to worries about how sanitary public surfaces really are.
Through a sweepstakes, Skip Hop is providing 200 families with a Clean Slate Rescue Kit, complete with a Clean Slate Changing Station, plus a diaper bag, wipes, a case for them, and a teething toy.
