General Stability Tips

Best practices for setting up your changing surface

1

Flat, Level Placement

Always place your changing surface on a flat, level area. Uneven surfaces can affect stability and usability.

2

Weight Distribution

Ensure the surface is rated for the intended load. Check manufacturer specifications for weight limits.

3

Edge Protection

Raised edges help contain items and prevent objects from rolling off the surface during use.

4

Secure Mounting

If wall-mounted or attached to furniture, ensure proper anchoring using appropriate hardware for your wall type.

5

Surface Material

Choose materials that are easy to clean and maintain. Non-slip surfaces provide additional stability.

6

Regular Inspection

Periodically check all connections, hinges, and supports to ensure continued stability over time.
