Here is our brief look at 21 ways businesses use changing stations to help win over their customers who care about cleanliness, saving time and safety:
1. Men’s Room
The common stereotype is that women – not men – often bring their children out to shop and run errands. From stay at home dads to single parents, many men also need access to places to safely change diapers.
2. Restaurant
Restaurants aren’t just for couples out on a special date or 25th anniversary. The whole family enjoys eating out – whether it’s for seafood or a huge buffet. Many parents will choose their eatery based on whether it has a changing station that’s easy to use, durable and safe.
3. Department Store
Many major retailers equip their public restrooms with baby changing stations. They’re a welcome relief and lifesavers for moms and dads. With their kids in tow, going back to the car isn’t always practical.
4. Water Park
Water parks are a blast for kids and adults alike. But what can a mom or dad do when their toddlers need a new diaper? They should’t change diapers at the entrance of a giant slide or wave-action pool. Restrooms may be busy with a steady flow of water ride enthusiasts who keep the floors messy with mud and grass. Changing stations are a must to protect infants and toddlers.
5. Hotel
Families can change soiled diapers in the guest rooms. But hotels often offer changing stations in public restrooms as a convenience for people who are checking in or coming in from the beach.
6. Church
Church pews have a special purpose and we’re pretty sure they’re not for changing dirty diapers. Parents may fear to bring their young children. You can alleviate their worries by having an accessible changing station installed in the church’s facilities.
7. Airport
Traveling with a small child is always concerning and it can sometimes be a nightmare for parents who have flights to catch. Diaper stations should be available in every airport restroom.
8. Rest Stop
Taking a small child on a road trip can sometimes be a headache for parents. And they wouldn’t want to add to their stress by trying to change a diaper in a car packed for a weeklong vacation. Fortunately, some rest stops feature changing stations – at least in the family restrooms.
9. Movie Theater
With year-round family-friendly films, theater chains often include baby -changing stations in their restrooms for moviegoers. They’re a must, whether a mom or dad is in auditorium No. 2 or No. 22 in a giant multiplex.
10. Grocery Store
With shopping trips often taking more than an hour, moms and dads alike will often carefully choose stores that have diaper-changing stations available.
11. Museum
When you have a museum designed for the whole family, you can bet that parents will bring their babies. Most families enjoy taking their time through a museum so they do appreciate those that install a diaper changing station.
12. Bookstore
Book lovers know there is something magical about spending time at a bookstore, including those that seem like they’ve been around forever and modern ones in shopping centers. They may even want to introduce their kids to the experience. But a family may include a baby who makes a mess and needs a new diaper.
13. Mall
For decades, shoppers have included malls in their weekend trips plans. But nowadays, parents are less tolerant of shopping at malls that don’t have an easy way for them to change their child’s diaper.
14. Park
Park benches are a relaxing place to sit and watch your kids play … right up until you must change your baby on one. By having a diaper station in your park restroom, people can feel comfortable using your park.
15. College Campus
People of all ages attend college – with and without children. Colleges can accommodate students with kids by equipping their restrooms with changing stations.
16. Train Station
Trains have always been a classic way to travel, but stations should keep up with the times and ensure that weary and busy travelers can easily use a convenient and durable baby changing station in any restroom.
17. Medical Office
Few parents are excited about taking their children to the doctor and rarely do kids enjoy the experience. Fortunately, medical offices can help make the visit less of an ordeal with changing stations.
18. Toy Store
We can’t imagine that a toy store would’t already equip all restrooms with a diaper changing station. After all, the stores are like giant magnets and appeal to kids of all ages, including boys and girls who take it all in from the stroller or shopping cart.
19. Sports Arena
Sensitive to the needs of families, arenas often include baby-changing stations in numerous restrooms to accommodate large crowds.
20. Bowling Alley
With men’s and women’s leagues, you might not think baby changing stations would be essential, but they’re sometimes available. After all, bowling alleys also appeal to entire families and are popular places for birthday parties.
21. Library
Neighborhood libraries are great places for the entire family. Many offer changing stations so moms or dad can safely put fresh diapers on their infants and toddlers.
Changing stations are available in many other places that cater to parents who just want to deal with diaper duty in the fastest and safest way possible.
