If a woman is showing so much boob in public that she's asked to leave, then she needs to learn to cover up better while nursing. I doubt it is enough of an issue to need a truck.

I think it's a dumb idea, but I don't understand why a parent with a toddler would be concerned. My son is almost four, and he knows what a breast is and what it does.

I know but the problem is our culture has sexualized the breast and it makes some people hypersensitive to it. Some parents are really hypersensitive to breast exposure even if it's not in a sexual way.
Very impractical business plan. And gals should be discrete in public regardless of how THEY personally feel. Ignoring how everyone else feels is why there are so many problems in the world.
IMHO the truck is a not a bad idea. The boob on top, not so much.
Of course it would be easier if we could nurse the baby anywhere (as long as we don't show too much).
Looks more like a cupcake with a maraschino cherry on top than a breast.
That's what it looks like to me to. I'd be more worried that my toddler would be chasing after it screaming "cupcakes!!!!!" then worried about them seeing a giant boob driving around town.

Nursing is natural and there is NO reason why anyone should be upset seeing a mom nursing. Most moms do cover up. When I was nursing, you probably would never have known that was happening although as babies get a bit older, it is harder to cover up.
At any rate, it's the public's hangup and nursing moms should not have to pay the price for *your* discomfort on this one.
I got very good at breastfeeding in public. If you wear the right clothes and have the right thing to cover up, no one even has to know what you are doing. I was able to breastfeed while walking through the mall and no one even looked in our direction. I was meeting a friend and when she saw me, she walked up to me and asked where DD was. I told her she was under my cover for privacy. At first she thought I was afraid of exposing DD to germs. I actually had to tell her what I was doing. She had no idea.
When a mother is breastfeeding the baby's head covers the breast, anyway; I've seen a lot of nursing mothers, but unless you're staring at them at all times the odds of seeing a nipple or much skin is generally pretty slim. I think the bigger deal would be mothers who feel afraid to nurse their babies when they're out in public. I still think the truck is a stupid idea, though. More benches would be far more useful!
