This is where you have the option for storage underneath, a hidden bin and waste flap, and even an integrated wash basin. We have the aforementioned solid surface baby changing unit, which would be integrated and located on top of a vanity unit. Providing a safe, clean space to lay down an infant can be done in several ways.

On the wall next to the wash basins can be an ideal spot as it puts the user within easy reach of a hand wash area. However, don't overlook to option of installing it in the common space of a washroom. If you have an ambulant diabled cubicle, you could locate the changer above the toilet. When siting a drop down baby changer, make sure it doesn’t create an obstruction when folded down. You don’t need a ton of space to be able to offer baby changing facilities in a washroom, but there are a few key things to bear in mind. These contain the basics such as baby changing unit, waste bin and hand wash station, but can also include things like microwaves for warming food and milk, hot water, a nursing booth or chair, and in some cases entertainment for toddlers. Baby or toddler seats are another popular item here, a place for you to safely secure one child, while either attending to another, or using the facilities yourself. In many shopping centres, train stations, airports and motorway services it is common to provide a dedicated parent and baby room.

In tighter rooms, it is also common to install the unit above the toilet. However, if at all possible, consider locating the changing unit so that disabled parents could manoeuvre and carry out nappy changing too. This is a common practice and one that appeals to restaurants and food service businesses that might be tight on space. If you have a unisex disabled washroom, then you have the option of installing a drop-down changing unit in this room. This can help to keep the room looking tidier, but also keep bad odours away when using a waste chute that has a flap or lid. This is an ideal space to create storage cupboards for cleaning materials, paper towel refills and loo roll, but you can also integrate a waste chute on the countertop and house a waste bin in the void beneath. If you’ve made the decision to install baby changing features in your male washrooms, you have the opportunity to create some additional storage at the same time. Solid surface, purpose built baby changing units are sturdier, stronger and look much sleeker than drop down units, but provide you with an empty void beneath them. As a business owner or site manager, there are several options available, and certain elements that need to be given thought to. However, we’ve all come a long way since then and now businesses should accommodate appropriate changing facilities that are accessible to all - creating a level playing field for both parents to compete in wriggling out of nappy changing. Traditionally, baby changing units were only found in female washrooms, the prospect of installing these facilities in the male washrooms was absurd.
