Positives:
- Easy access: Most stops have car parks right next to paths or picnic spots for quick baby changes.
- Shaded rest areas: Picnic tables and the visitor centre lounge offer shade and seating for feeding and resting.
Challenges:
- No dedicated baby-change tables: Public toilets lack changing stations; bring a portable mat and wipes.
