When thinking of baby changing facilities, it is important to consider what is necessary. This is to ensure that your customers have everything they need to complete a nappy change in the most hygienic way possible.
Baby Changer
Having a good baby changer that fits the room without compromising the space is vital for providing good facilities for all of your customers. The important things to look out for in a baby changer are:
- FIRA (Furniture Industry Research Association) Testing Certification, to meet UK safety standards
- Strong and durable with a suitable weight limit, 30kg limit is the strongest baby changers’ limit
- Anti-bacterial finish to reduce the spread of bacteria
- No sharp edges, this will reduce the risk of injury for both parent/guardian and baby
One such baby changer that fits all the criteria above is the e-Changer. The e-Changer is manufactured in the UK and is available next working day if ordered before 2pm.
Nappy Bin
When baby changing, there is a need to dispose of any waste, in particular the nappies themselves. Getting a nappy bin that is able to keep the waste within and reduce the risk of infection and keep the room more hygienic is vital. Aside from buying a bin, if you need a disposal service for nappy bin waste then we offer that too.
Wipes
Another important baby changing item to make sure that you have are wipes for effective cleaning. The type of wipes that you find in baby changing facilities is sanitary wipes. Sanitary wipes contain the disinfectants necessary to combat the spread of germs, bacteria and any potential virus.
Standard wipes should be available as well as part of the facilities that are provided.
Soap Dispenser
Keeping your hands clean and free from germs is important at any time but when baby changing, the risk of germs getting on to your hands is high. This is why you need a soap dispenser to be nearby. A soap dispenser should be in any washroom but having it near to the baby changer will make the baby changing easier and more hygienic.
With all of this in place, you can then look at where you have your baby changing facilities.
