Koala Kare Vertical Wall Baby Changing Table (Grey) KB101-01-INB - KB101-01-INB

We have written a blogpost about it. Please, click here.

English regulations regarding access and use in buildings are mainly gathered in Approved Document M. This file suggests the following in relation to baby changing facilities:

• Sanitary facilities should be available to everybody, including users of either gender with babies.

• Wheelchair-accessible unisex toilets should not be used for baby changing.

• An enlarged cubicle 1200mm wide in a separate-sex toilet washroom could benefit parents with children, among other users; besides other fittings like bathroom grab rails, one should consider to install a fold-down table inside such a compartment.

• In large buildings, it is "desirable" to provide separate facilities for baby changing.

With similar suggestions, Irish booklets on the matter add:

• Hand washing and drying facilities should be provided adjacent to the baby changers, along with nappy disposal bins, and a shelf or table for personal belongings.

• An accessible place for breast-feeding (separate from the toilet facilities) should be furnished wherever space allows so. It is expected to be equipped with a comfortable chair and have room for a large pram or pushchair.

Please, read the source texts or consult a professional to confirm this information.

We have created a comparison table here with all models of Koala baby changing tables, so that choosing the most suitable product can be more visual and handy.

This blog post has some accessibility indications when choosing or installing a baby changing table, since the child's guardian or babysitter could be disabled or with limited mobility, like it could be quite common for example in the case of grandparents.

We are not aware of any specific regulation for cleaning the straps of baby changers, however we can recommend and supply a sanitising spray.
