Signage for a baby changing room in a German authority

A changing room is a space that foster or guardians a discreet place to change the diapers of babies offers.

As a rule, changing rooms at motorway service stations and train stations are open around the clock. Rooms in shopping centers, department stores, cafes, public swimming pools, at playgrounds, in schools and universities etc. are usually only accessible at certain times. In many cases the door key has to be picked up at a certain point, occasionally against a deposit, so that a certain overview is given, also because of the cleanliness . The euro key can also be used.

Pictograms on which either a toddler to be swaddled or the activity of swaddling itself are shown, show the way. They are often located near the sanitary facilities, in older facilities they are sometimes still ancillary rooms to women's toilets.

Furnishing

Changing rooms are usually equipped with a table or a permanently installed changing table and a soft cover, a shelf, a tightly closing garbage can and a chair. It makes sense to include a wash basin as well. In particularly well-equipped rooms there is a radiant heater above the table. The room can also be used to breastfeed the baby.

Changing rooms usually address infants and young children . In the case of urinary incontinence or fecal incontinence , adults use normal toilets or barrier-free toilets to change hygiene inserts. According to VDI 6000 Part 3: Equipping and with sanitary rooms Assembly facilities and assembly rooms [2011-06], it may be advisable to equip a handicapped-accessible toilet room as a changing room.
