Boys in girls' changerooms - how old is "too old"?

[~clover~]

Interesting thought. Change rooms aren't a concern for me, but public toilets might become something I'll need to think about soon.

DS is 4. If I wasn't allowed to change him due to age in the change rooms, I'd go do it at/in the car I guess. I wouldn't feel comfortable sending him on his own. I still usually go with DD1 (10) into public toilets (not the cubicle).

When do I stop bringing DS into the toilets with me? He's not going to see anyone naked or anything, but I'm assuming a 6/7 year old boy shouldn't really be in there?? My kids will all be a bit old for parents rooms soon too

For me sending my boy off on his own, I'm not worried about him dressing/changing himself... I'm worried about his safety in a public place! Same reason I usually wait outside the cubicle when my older DD's are in public toilets. I always walk them to the toilets in shopping centres etc.
