What is the Suggested Mounting Height for Baby Changing Units?

We are often asked what the correct height to mount a baby changing unit is, unfortunately, this is not an easy question to answer. There is no fixed or regulation height at which baby changing units should be fitted to.

Most manufacturers agree that the height should be between 730mm and 800mm from the floor. This appears to be the most comfortable height for most users, including both males and females. 

For further details on changing facilities for children and adults, please refer to our blog article on Changing Places: A Move to Advanced Accessibility.

Regardless of the manufacturer you choose for your baby changing unit, whether fixed or fold-down, you will be provided with fitting instructions that detail the recommended height for fixing. This height is usually measured from the floor to a specific fixing point on the unit. However, when fitted, the surface on which the baby will lie will usually fall within the 730mm and 800mm range.
