Going out for food with a baba can be a little stressful – especially when there is a buggy to be pushed around! I’ve noticed that it can be quite difficult to navigate it through busy shops and cafes, so I’ve put together a little list of places that are welcoming and buggy friendly – I will also be continuing to update as my Mat Leave goes on!
