If you're going to be stranded in an airport, NPR recommends one of these. I have been to a handful of these airports, including Tokyo, Singapore, Berlin, and Amsterdam and the Tokyo and Singapore are by far the most kid-friendly airports I've been to. Both airports have ample and comfortable locations for nursing and changing diapers and play areas for the kids.
Singapore's Changi Airport, in addition to the butterfly garden mentioned in the article, also has an awesome play area in the basement (admission required) as well as other amenities (including foot reflexology, which I recommend whole heartedly but OUCH!). There's also a very nice room for changing diapers with real changing tables and very clean and spacious and with some amenities provided like water and paper towels. You can find out more about this airport here.
Tokyo's airport has "soft" play areas for the kids scattered throughout the terminal as well as nursing stalls with comfy chairs and nice changing areas that are dedicated to changing. None of this absent-minded "Oh let's put a changing table into the handicap toilet stall!" business going on there! I especially appreciated the play areas -- nice areas with soft foam blocks for kids to burn off steam during layovers. You can find out more about Toyko Narita here.
