According to a national survey commissioned by Koala, 77
percent of parents with kids under 6 have used changing
stations; among them, 34 percent hoist their children onto
one six or more times a month. John Helmsderfer, founder of
changing-table maker Brocar Products, estimates that 60
percent of all public restrooms have them today.
The
BabyDeck™
is
a stroller seat embedded with waterproof mat for diaper changing. When a busy parent needs
to change a baby’s diaper,
BabyDeck™
offers the advantage of completely bypassing busy
restroom lines and unsanitary public changing stations by allowing
the parent to change the baby directly from the seat
of the stroller.
This unique mechanism is very easy
and costs little to manufacture. Because its components
can be applied to any existing stroller model, no
re-design to the shape of the stroller is required.
BabyDeck™ becomes
a necessity for anyone who needs to change
a diaper without the hassle of locating
a clean restroom with a changing table.
Thanks to BabyDeck™, parents need no
longer worry about finding a “family-friendly” restroom.
