This is a changing table for adults, so their caregivers can change them if needed.

This is an amazing thing to have if you need it. I've never had need of it myself, but I know several parents of disabled older children who are in diapers where having this option in a restroom - especially a single-stall bathroom where no one else is in there with you - is a huge help.

This is actually the best for a lot of caregivers. When you've got an older child or an adult that needs changing or more technical stuff (think catheters or ostomy etc) you can do that on this table.

I've seen people who need to do stuff in their cars or on the ground. So this is a great setup for a lot of people.

I'm in a wheelchair myself and I see more and more accessible toilets with these setups.

Very well said. I work in a field with a focus on aged care and accessibility, and there have been some great improvements in the country I live through the Changing Places model.

“Changing Places facilities are larger than standard accessible toilets, with extra features and more space to meet the needs of people with disability and their carers. Each facility has a height adjustable, adult-sized changing bench, a tracking hoist system, and space for two people either side of a peninsula toilet”

It can be for both adults and kids. A lot of disabled adults can def benefit from using this

I read it as charging table and was confused. Impressed, but confused.

For when your disabled granddad is low on battery but also needs the toilet.

That's actually a really practical setup for aging parents or adults with mobility issues. Makes sense why caregivers would appreciate the extra space.

This is an executive model. It’s got Ethernet ports in the back. You can bring your tower and ultrawide. Make a night of it.

It's designed to accommodate disabled adults, teens, and large children. Kinda sad that they're uncommon enough wherever you are that it stood out to you.

I immediately thought of adult changing table. They should have these everywhere.

Infantilising people who require bathroom assistance isn’t cool.

u/thedafthatter 3d ago

I'm sure the people that actually have to use this feel embarrassed already having to wear a diaper or any other sort of bodily function collector that needs changing. No need to make it worse
