Parents turn up noșes at baby box nappies

Voucher scheme for reusable products flops

- PAUL HUTCHEON

ABOUT 80 per cent of households have snubbed a key item in Holyrood's flagship Baby Box.

Figures reveal parents have ignored a voucher scheme which gives them access to a reusable nappy kit.

Labour MSP Monica Lennon said: “It's good that the Baby Box includes a reusable nappy voucher, but it's worrying that fewer than one in five people are using it.

“With climate emergency and rising living costs, we can't afford for this initiative to flop.”
