1. Wall-mounted changing stations are the small, fold-out changing tables you find in public restrooms. These convenient changers will have safety straps and be made from a durable, easy-to-disinfect plastic.
2. Diaper changing is a never-ending duty at daycares. Save your back by choosing a changing station with steps so that toddlers can climb onto the table by themselves.
3. Parents often will have their own brand preferences on diapers and lotions, so look for a daycare changing station with multiple storage cubbies to keep each child's supplies separate and organized.
4. Consider adding a wall-mounted storage unit for diaper supplies above your daycare changing station. Everything you need will be accessible without your having to bend over and will be out of reach of the toddlers and infants being changed.
5. Provide a valuable customer service by adding a baby changing station in the restroom of your business. Your customers can attend to their children and quickly return to shopping rather than needing to leave for better accommodations. There are many styles of changing stations to suit your space requirements.
6. Countertop changing stations are ideal for public restrooms where counter space is more plentiful than wall space. These stations secure safely to the counter surface and are often easier for parents to use than wall-mounted versions.
7. Look for an ADA-compliant baby changing station for your public setting. Also make sure that your station meets or exceeds recommended safety guidelines.
8. Liners are a necessity for changing stations that see many different babies. They provide parents and caretakers with a sanitary place to change a diaper without needing to clean the station between uses. While many changing stations include a place to store liners, you can also find separate liner dispensers if needed.
9. Wall-mounted changing stations, usually made of plastic and used without a separate changing pad, will have extra deep wells to prevent babies from rolling around while being changed.
10. All changing stations must have safety straps to keep babies from rolling off the table accidentally. Tall side rails add an extra layer of security.
