For many businesses, baby changing units are essential. While not legally necessary, parents visiting restaurants, cinemas, supermarkets and more rely on this equipment to be able to change their children with the minimum of fuss. If you arent providing these facilities, parents are likely to turn to your competitors. Our own research suggests there isnt enough changing equipment across the country, so theres definitely a need for this equipment.
This is why Direct365 offers a wide range of changers at a great price and great quality. We believe all venues should provide changers for parents and their children. We stock brands such as Rubbermaid, Dolphin and e-Changer, and offer an array of units including vertical, horizontal and bench mounted baby changers.
Is it law to have baby changing facilities?
Surprisingly, it is not the law to have baby changing facilities in a washroom. However, it is considered to be good practice to provide baby changing units in at least one washroom for every 10,000 people that pass through your establishment. While the trend is to provide these facilities in female washrooms, more organisations are opting to add baby changing facilities to male washrooms too.
What height should my baby changing unit be?
There's no legal requirement stating exactly where you should put a baby changing unit. However, thinking logically, you need to provide these facilities at a height that most people are going to find comfortable and safe for the baby and their guardian. That being said, between 730mm and 800mm will usually be ideal to provide an accessible height for a baby changer.
Is there a British standard for baby changers?
Yes, there is. British Standard BS12221 is the exact title, and this is a European charter that states certain criteria for baby changing units, including:
- Stability is a just to ensure safety.
- No sharp edges to cause injury.
- The straps on a changing unit must be simple to use.
- All materials used in making the unit must be non-toxic.
What is the maximum weight to put on a baby changer?
The British Standard BS12221 states that a maximum weight for changers is up to 15kg. All changing units that are covered by the above standard will be based on safety measures relating to that weight, ensuring each unit is suitable for a child and items below 15kg.
