The survey also found that 39% of parents were happy to spend more than A $100 on meals with young children. In terms of children's meals, parents are willing to pay an average of A $14 per child.
OpenTable spokesman Domrau (Tim Domelow) says Australians like to eat out. The survey found that parents were willing to eat at restaurants twice a month. As a result, children tend to be gourmets at an early age. Parents are now more confident about taking their children out to dinner before they are two years old.
Many young families don't want change's own lifestyle after having children, so eating out regularly is a common pattern, Mr. Domrao said.
However, many diners are still picky when choosing where to eat. 55% of parents want to have playgrounds with toys; 50% of parents want color books and pencils in the restaurant; Thirty-eight percent want a restaurant layout suitable for strollers.
