Zappos and Mamava Partnered to Bring These Mobile Pods to Airports
Ellen Smith — February 16, 2018 — Social Good
Traveling with a child is a stressful experience, and the public and unsanitary nature of airports makes it difficult for mothers to find a comfortable space to breast feed their child, which is why Zappos and Mamava teamed up to bring consumers airport breast feeding pods.
Zappos is a mother-focused business that's dedicated to changing the public's perception of breast feeding, as quite often, the act is met with criticism and scrutiny. Now, these newly implemented mobile pods are offering mothers a safe and comfortable space to feed their baby. The pods come equipped with lactation pad dispensers, cleansing wipes, and relaxing soundtracks of ocean waves.
These suites also offer customizable settings, meaning other venues or businesses could easily change the interior to better suit the space.
