How to choose the best changing table for public toilets: tips and criteria

We offer various types of changing tables designed for use in public toilets. They can be adapted to almost any interior - not only bathrooms, but also so-called parent and child rooms. This practical solution greatly facilitates caring for a baby. That is why it should be present in every public utility facility where people with small children are present. It allows parents to change their child in any conditions.

Come and check out the changing tables from Faneco. We offer wall-mounted, recessed, vertical, and horizontal options. All of them are made of high-quality materials that meet necessary standards. But which changing table should you choose to ensure it meets the expectations of users?

What features should a good changing table have?

Currently, there are various models of accessories for changing babies on the market - including freestanding and wall-mounted changing tables. Each of them must comply with applicable safety standards. However, this is not enough to ensure necessary comfort during diaper changes and other procedures. In order for a changing table to be truly good, it must meet several additional conditions. The most important issues are:

Choosing the type and size of the changing table surface to the size of the bathroom - changing diapers in small rooms can be a real challenge. A too large changing table can be an additional obstacle. Therefore, in the case of a small toilet, it is better to opt for a slightly smaller model, preferably wall-mounted. It is unfolded before placing the child and folded after use. This equipment does not take up additional space, and at the same time is comfortable and ergonomic.

Finishing - for home use, many people choose accessories such as a soft changing table with a textile cover. However, it is not suitable for use in a public toilet. Here, the best option will be a hard changing table. As shown by Faneco models, this is the most hygienic and durable solution.

Solid installation - wall-mounted changing tables can be attached to the wall with several strong screws or on special in-wall frames. The latter prevent the device from being removed without the proper tools, which is a great advantage in places exposed to acts of vandalism.

Good price? A changing table is one of the items on which you cannot save too much. Here, durability and safety are the most important factors. However, this does not mean that you should always go for the most expensive option. For example, in the case of Faneco devices, the cost of a changing table depends primarily on the materials it is made of (ABS, steel), its size, and any additional features. It is worth carefully analyzing the parameters of different models to choose the best option for the needs of future users. In this situation, you pay for what is actually necessary. This allows you to avoid unnecessary costs resulting from the presence of solutions, functions, or elements that cannot be fully utilized, for example, due to the specificity of a given object.

How to choose a safe and comfortable changing table?

In order to guarantee the necessary level of safety for both children and parents, it is important to choose equipment that meets the highest standards and strict norms. These apply to the materials from which the accessories are made, their size, method of installation, and opening and closing. A safe and comfortable changing table:

- has the necessary certificates and approvals,

- comes with a clear user manual,

- is properly shaped; it should be slightly concave, with slightly higher edges, reducing the risk of the child falling out.

- cannot have sharp edges or protruding elements,

- must be equipped with information about the maximum load. When choosing a specific model, it is important to remember that in addition to the weight of the child, the pressure exerted by the caregiver leaning on the changing table must also be taken into account. That is why Faneco offers models with a maximum load of several dozen kilograms.

At Faneco, we especially recommend changing tables made of LLDPE material. It is completely neutral, i.e. it does not emit harmful phthalates or other dangerous substances and does not cause irritation on the child's skin. It also stands out for its high mechanical strength.

In recent years, there has also been an increase in interest in products designed for bathrooms adapted to the needs of people with disabilities. When arranging such a room, it is also important not to forget about a suitable changing table. It must be both comfortable and intuitive to use - the ability to operate it with one hand is particularly important here.

It is also recommended to choose models with reinforced construction, made of particularly durable materials in such situations. An excellent example are stainless steel changing tables from Faneco, which can withstand a maximum load of up to 45 kilograms. Such a strong structure can support the weight of the whole body. This significantly facilitates the care of a child for many people with limited mobility. It also provides security in a situation where the user may lose balance - safe for both the caregiver and the child.

What functions should a good changing table have?

A good changing table should not only allow for safe and comfortable diaper changing. Truly functional accessories of this type are also equipped with additional elements such as:

- durable hooks for a bag or backpack,

- an adjustable safety belt. It is very important for the changing table to have an instruction manual nearby. It must also be designed in such a way that it can be used with one hand, while the other hand holds the child,

- a container for wet wipes,

- properly secured opening and closing mechanisms - so that they can also be used with one hand without the risk of pinching or hitting any body parts.

Changing tables for public toilets - functionality and aesthetics

When choosing a changing table that will satisfy even the most demanding users, it is important to pay attention to both its functionality and aesthetic aspects. The models available in Faneco's offer have been designed in such a way that they are not only comfortable to use, but also look good.

However, modern design is not everything. Our proposals are made of high-quality synthetic materials and stainless steel. These materials meet the necessary safety standards and are also easy to clean. This allows them to maintain their excellent appearance for a long time, allowing for years of use.

The best changing tables for public toilets

High-quality, functional changing tables are now essential elements of public toilet equipment. According to regulations, they should not only be found in bathrooms; they should also be remembered when designing a room for a parent with a child, for example in a shopping center or at an airport.

Faneco's changing tables are suitable for use in:

- restaurants and other catering facilities,

- clinics and medical facilities,

- hotels, guesthouses and other accommodation facilities,

- swimming pools, playrooms,

- shopping malls,

- public institutions,

- tourist attractions.

Until recently, changing tables could mainly be found in women's bathrooms, or possibly for people with disabilities. However, we encourage their installation in men's toilets as well. Such a solution will be appreciated by many young fathers - thanks to this, they will not be forced to use the ladies' room in an emergency situation.

Safety and hygiene in public toilets - the benefits of choosing the right changing table

Changing tables should be present in every public facility. Not only because the law requires it, but also as an investment in the well-being and psychological comfort of visiting parents with small children. The main reason is, of course, the safety of the youngest ones. Changing on a bench, chair, or car seat is risky - primarily due to the lack of proper safety measures, but also for hygienic reasons. It happens that children fall to the floor in such situations, suffering serious injuries. They may also come into contact with pathogenic microorganisms. Designating a special place and equipping it with a modern changing table with a safety system allows to almost completely eliminate the risk of such incidents.

It is also important to remember that the standard and equipment of a bathroom in a public facility significantly affect the overall evaluation of the place. This is particularly important for owners of shopping centers, hotels, playrooms, cultural institutions, and various types of restaurants. The better the reviews, the more customers. And accessories such as a modern changing table are not only a practical convenience for caregivers of small children, but also a signal that they are welcome in this place. This greatly increases the chances that they will visit the facility again, using the available services and products.
