Environmental

• Seating

Is it comfortable for nursing? 0-4 points
4 points - This particular location had some very comfy chairs with a fireplace I found excellent for nursing in.

Is there an area suitable for those desiring privacy? 0-4 points
4 points - There were many places, including the area by the fireplace, where a mother could be more discrete if she so desired.

• Booster seats

Are they safe and in good condition? 0-4 points
4 points - I admit I did not use a booster during this visit, but as a standard McDonald's restaurants have some of the best booster seats.

Are they clean? 0-4 points
4 points - again, going on a basis of the company standard, the plastic seats are easily cleaned and I decided to give this location the benefit of the doubt. It's not a big deal for a parent to wipe down a plastic seat if it has some crumbs or ketchup.

Do they have plastic or paper cups with lids for children? 0-3 points
3 points

Do they have a toddler seat mounted on the wall? If so, are they clean and safe? 0-4 points
0 points - no such luck

Revision to rating system:

Original plan - With a total possible of 50 points, every 10 points would earn 1 star for an overall visible rating. Due to the fact that at least one star is required at the rating site I opted to use, the following applies:
0-10 points = 1 star
11-20 points = 2 stars
21-30 points = 3 stars
31-40 points = 4 stars
41+ points = 5 stars
