But, I am curious to know what the etiquette is for moms with strollers (particularly the double ones like I have) and kids. Many times, the changing table is in the disabled bathroom stall ... or even if not -- it is the only stall that has enough room to fit the kids if I have to go ... what is the proper procedure in that instance? Is it first-come, first-served, or should I give it up to someone in a wheelchair first even if I have to go really bad? I wouldn't have any problem with that, but just wondering your opinion.
