The nursing room/family room at Yorkdale mall definitely score A+! It is located in the same areas as the washrooms located across Holt Renfrew. The room needs to be unlock by security (there is a button beside the door you can push to request access) which ensures that it is use for its intended purposes!
The room is large and spacious and even has a small children's play area with low seatings!
There are a row of about 5 very comfortable chairs along the wall. These chairs are extra wide, has soft handles (so you don't have to worry about your hitting your baby's head on the chair handle) and has back support! They are very comfortable to nurse in =)
The room also has a small sink and a microwave for those who need to warm up their food/water.
Change tables are located inside each of the family washroom located towards the back of the room. This is the most inconvenient part as you will have to move all your belongings into the washroom in order to change your baby. They also do not have a diaper disposal bin so you'll just have to toss the dirty diaper in the regular trash bin.
This nursing room is quite busy as Yorkdale is a busy mall. However, it is very spacious and usually very quite, making it a very comfortable nursing place!
This room is intended for family use so it is not restricted to women only. The few times that I've been there, fathers usually wait outside once they see a few nursing mothers on the chairs. However, some of them do stay in the room to watch their other kids or give their wife a hand, so if privacy is important to you, remember to bring along your nursing cover!
