Best practices for setting up your changing surface
Always place your changing surface on a flat, level area. Uneven surfaces can affect stability and usability.
Ensure the surface is rated for the intended load. Check manufacturer specifications for weight limits.
Raised edges help contain items and prevent objects from rolling off the surface during use.
If wall-mounted or attached to furniture, ensure proper anchoring using appropriate hardware for your wall type.
Choose materials that are easy to clean and maintain. Non-slip surfaces provide additional stability.
Periodically check all connections, hinges, and supports to ensure continued stability over time.
