Please Note

To assure proper installation, it is suggested that a qualified person or carpenter install the Koala Baby Changing Station. Koala Kare Products will not be responsible if the station is not installed properly. Koala Baby Changing Stations have been tested to hold a substantially static load. The unit must be attached to a permanent wall that is capable of holding a substantial load. The maximum recommended total weight for this baby changing station (including baby and parcel bag) is 50lbs. Excessive weight may cause a hazardous or unstable condition to exist.

Inspection Criteria

A properly maintained baby changing station:

• Opens and closes smoothly.
• Has a functioning strap and buckle. The strap is held firmly in place when the buckle is depressed over it.
• Offers parents liners through a fully stocked liner dispenser. (Dispenser built into the unit.)
•  Provides a clean, convenient place for customers to attend to their children.

Restraint System

Check strap by releasing the lever on the buckle and pulling one end of the strap up through the bottom of the buckle, depressing the lever when the strap is tight. Give the strap a tug in the horizontal direction away from the buckle, checking that the strap remains in place beneath the buckle. To loosen the strap, release the lever and pull the strap from the bottom of the buckle.

Cleaning and Maintenance

We recommend that the surface of the unit be cleaned prior to disinfecting. Use a clean nylon brush to loosen and remove soil from the textured surfaces or a rag. We recommend that you use disinfectants and detergents that do not contain overwhelming fragrances that can mask inappropriate smells.
