Since Mamava's debut in 2013 at the Burlington International Airport in Burlington, Vt., the number of these secure suites has spread to more than 900 other locations across the U.S. and Canada. This week, another location was added to the list: the Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE).

According to Mamava, each suite features "two spacious benches, a fold-down table, and power outlet" for mothers who need to pump or breastfeed their babies while in-between flights or at a stadium or simply on the go. 

The Mamava pod was made possible through a partnership between CAE and Columbia's  Riverbanks Zoo & Garden. 

The CAE pod will be the third in South Carolina, following locations at the Charleston International Airport and The Joe, the home of the Charleston Riverdogs minor league baseball team.

“We’re always looking for ways to enhance our traveler’s experience,” said Mike Gula, executive director of CAE. “The Mamava pod is an offering needed for our traveling mothers that is currently not available on the airside, and with this partnership with the Riverbanks Zoo & Garden, we’re glad to be able to provide this to them.”
