IKEA Bolingbrook

Located just behind the restaurant is a great family lavatory with a cozy arm chair for nursers or moms too pooped to move and a kid-sized table and chairs for the tiny shoppers in training. Kid-centric amenities include a lowered sink and mirror, changing table and diaper kit dispenser. If you find yourself in a pickle, IKEA offers free diapers in the Smaland play area.

750 E. Boughton Rd., Bolingbrook (888-888-4532 or ikea.com)
