Introducing the Mama Approved Seal

The Mama Approved Seal is our stamp of approval for businesses, restaurants, and spaces that truly get moms—whether you're bringing your littles along OR finally getting a night to yourself.

These are the places that make motherhood a little easier, a little more enjoyable, and a lot more welcoming. Some are perfect for mama + mini outings. Others are ideal sanctuaries for mamas-only nights out, self-care, and much-needed breaks.

When you see the Mama Approved Seal, you know you're walking into a space that values and supports moms 🤎

What Does It Take to Earn the Mama Approved Seal?

Not every business makes the cut. To earn the Mama Approved Seal from Mamas & Minis, a business must meet criteria in one of two categories:

Category 1: Mama + Mini Approved

Perfect for outings with your littles

Mama-Friendly Atmosphere

  • Welcoming to strollers (wide aisles, accessible entrance, stroller parking)

  • High chairs or booster seats available

  • Clean, accessible restrooms with changing tables

  • Staff who are patient and kind when chaos happens

Safe & Clean Environment

  • Clean play areas (if applicable)

  • Safe spaces for crawlers and toddlers to explore

  • Well-maintained facilities

Kid-Friendly Offerings

  • Kids' menu or toddler-approved options

  • Activities, toys, or entertainment for littles

  • Indoor or outdoor space where kids can move around

The Vibe

  • A place where moms don't feel judged for messy kids, tantrums, or needing a moment

  • Somewhere you can actually relax (or at least try to!)

  • A space where both mamas and minis feel welcome

Category 2: Mamas-Only Approved

Perfect for self-care, girls' nights, and mama time

Mama-Centered Experience

  • Services or offerings specifically beneficial for moms (spa treatments, fitness classes, wine nights, etc.)

  • Atmosphere that allows mamas to truly unwind and disconnect

  • Staff who understand what moms need (and deserve!)

Quality & Value

  • High-quality services, food, or experiences

  • Worth the time away from home (and the babysitter cost!)

  • Thoughtful attention to detail

Community-Minded

  • Willing to offer special perks or experiences for our mama community

  • Supportive of moms taking time for themselves

  • Creates a welcoming, judgment-free environment

The Vibe

  • A place where moms can be themselves, not just "mom"

  • Somewhere that feels like a treat, not just an errand

  • A space that reminds you that YOU matter too

Why Both Categories Matter

Because motherhood isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither are our needs.

Sometimes we need a place where we can bring our kids without stress. Other times, we need a place where we can leave the mom hat at the door and just be.

The Mama Approved Seal helps you find both 🤎
