Baby Change Stations
Fitting a baby change station into a bathroom or washroom comes down to three choices: orientation, mounting style and finish. Here's how to pick.
Horizontal or vertical, which change station layout fits your wall
Change stations come in two orientations, and your wall space usually decides which one works.
- Horizontal: wider than it is tall, folds flat against the wall. Suits washrooms with more width available.
- Vertical: taller than it is wide, takes up less horizontal space. Suits narrow walls or tighter washroom layouts.
Measure the wall space you have before you choose. A horizontal unit needs clearance either side when folded down, while a vertical unit needs headroom.
Recessed or surface mounted baby change station
Mounting style affects how much the unit sits proud of the wall and what's involved in fitting it.
- Recessed: sits flush within the wall cavity, giving a cleaner finish. Needs enough depth behind the wall to house the unit.
- Surface mounted: fixes directly to the wall face. Simpler to install and easier to retrofit into an existing washroom without altering the wall structure.
Check your wall type and any cavity depth before ordering a recessed unit.
Stainless steel finish for busy washrooms
Stainless steel units are built to handle frequent use and regular cleaning. The finish resists marking and wipes down easily, which suits high-traffic bathrooms in public or commercial-style settings. If you're fitting out a washroom with other stainless fixtures, check bathroom vanities and toilet roll holders to match the look.
Quick checks before you buy
- Confirm available wall width and height for your chosen orientation.
- Check wall cavity depth if you want a recessed fit.
- Match the finish to other fittings in the washroom, such as bathroom tapware.
- Look for a folding design that sits flush when not in use, keeping the walkway clear.
