Hot Topic - Baby Changing Facilities for Dads

There’s a longstanding debate in the media about the lack of baby changing facilities for dads to use, with men campaigning for high street stores, restaurants and even hospitals to provide baby changing facilities that they can access.

More than ever, dads are now taking a hands on role in parenting and public facilities need to reflect this by providing safe and hygienic places for dads to change their children. The issue was highlighted in the US by celebrity Ashton Kutcher and brought about policy change, and in the UK father of three Al Ferguson made an undercover film to highlight the poor provision for changing facilities in public places.

While many public places have unisex disabled toilets with changing tables, mats and nappy disposal bins, many only have facilities inside the women’s toilets. That’s why at SP Hygiene, we think it’s important to be ahead of the game and to cater for the modern family where dad might be taking the reins. We have numerous options that can be installed at a reasonable cost, such as the following baby changing systems:
