Changing mats - yes or no?

Changing tables with antibiotic surface - the clever alternative to changing mats

We frequently receive inquiries indicating that many parents would like suitable changing mats for our changing tables. We have consciously chosen not to offer changing mats and instead developed a changing table with an antibiotic surface. This overview explains why we are exceptionally deviating from customer demand in this particular instance.

Changing mats – the ideal gateway for germs

When using changing mats, cracks and holes can develop on the surface – for example, due to the child's movements. This breaches an important barrier and creates an entry point for harmful germs. To protect the child's health, we therefore advise against using changing mats in public areas . Furthermore, changing mats have a core made of strong foam rubber. Space-saving folding changing tables cannot be closed when such a mat is used.

Changing tables with special surface and practical details

To ensure high hygiene standards during diaper changes, our changing tables have antibiotic surfaces. This helps reduce the growth of germs such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

The surfaces are easy to clean and can be wiped down with warm water and dish soap. If you use your own diaper bag as a changing mat, you can hang it on the changing table when not in use. Furthermore, our changing tables are equipped with a practical dispenser that provides biodegradable and therefore extremely environmentally friendly disposable changing mats.

Safety – the be-all and end-all of our smart changing tables

Instead of being designed for regular use, our changing tables are intended for temporary use – a solution to make changing a baby's diaper easier for parents when needed. Even without a changing mat, using our changing tables will not harm the baby. Another important point in this context concerns the safety straps. To comply with the revised European Standard (EN), these straps are no longer permitted. Experts consider them a safety risk due to the potential for strangulation. The straps are still included in the delivery, but their installation is left to the operator.
