App that fills the gap for London parents on the go launches Android version
Gobaby is first map app for pram-friendly Tube stops and baby changing spots
(London) – Gobaby App launches on Google Play tomorrow (2 October 2013), as the first Android App to provide
baby changing spots and pram accessible London Underground stops for parents on the go.
Following the launch of Gobaby App for iPhone in July 2013, mums and dads began contacting developer and new
mum Jen Corlew requesting an Android version. Corlew initially developed Gobaby App after having difficult
journeys across London with her baby while on maternity leave.
Gobaby Map App helps on the go mums and dads find pram-accessible London Underground and Overground
stations and offers more than 1,000 verified baby changing spots across Greater London including cafes, libraries,
museums, restaurants and retailers.
