It is always recommended that only a carpenter or a qualified person should perform the installation of baby changing station unit. Changing stations are built with both plastics and metals, thus to insure proper installation and compliance to building codes, baby changing stations must be properly installed according to the manufacturerâ??s instructions.

Baby changing stations can be either recessed or surface mounted. Both are safe to hold infants and children up to a certain weight. You can choose which model to have installed depending on where you will be mounting it inside your home or commercial restrooms. Safety straps will be included in the station as a safety precaution for moving babies.

Koala Bear Kare® Baby Changing Stations have been tested to hold a static load of up to 400 pounds. To do this, the unit must be properly installed onto a permanent wall that is capable of supporting that much weight, and can accommodate the supplied installation hardware. The Koala Bear Kare® Baby Changing Station meets ADA regulations when properly installed.

Mounting a vertical baby changing stations:

1. Remove the station from the shipping container and check for any freight damage. Identify the best location for installing the baby changing station. Hold the unit in place, open the bed, and make sure that there is adequate operating clearance.

2. Based upon the type of wall on which the unit will be mounted, determine the best method of mounting. Not all of the included hardware may be required for proper installation.

3. The vertical unit has four mounting holes provided in the back wall of the unit, which are positioned on a 16� stud center. If possible, locate the wood or metal wall studs for fastening the baby changing station in the desired location. If the walls do not have studs on center as outlined, make sure at least one side of the unit is installed into the stud. Use toggles (supplied) for holes on the other side.

4. Find the stud where you will be attaching the left side of the changing station to the wall. Measure 63� up from the floor (59� ADA), at the center of the stud, and mark the wall. Line up the top left mounting hole with this mark, then use a measuring tape and level to mark the remaining three mounting holes. This will locate the bottom of the station 31� from the floor (27� ADA).

5. If the wall has wood studs on 16� centers, drill 1/8� pilot holes at the marks and use the four ¼� x 3� panhead tapping screws with supplied washers. If the wall is masonry or tile over wood studs, use a 7/32� masonry drill until you hit the stud, then proceed to drill 1/8� pilot holes into the studs and use the four 1/4� x 3� screws with supplied washers.

Here I am with some market research to help you prepare a list of baby furniture required by new parents to be.

Baby changing stations or tables: A must have in every house where you have growing infants. A baby changing station provides a hygienic plane to change baby diapers. Buy a baby changing station that has an adjustable height and is made up of safe plastic, wood or metal with no sharp edges. Check for the protection barriers like safety belts and high end surroundings etc. Baby changing stations can be mounted or recessed in the walls. Thus the installation will not occupy much of your room space.

Diaper Packs: Choose a diaper changing pad which could be protective and padded properly. In my opinion and market research I would suggest you to go for Koala Diaper Packs. These diaper packs include sanitary bed liner, a diaper, a diaper wipe and a disposable bag to dispose off everything in.

Baby crib: Select a baby crib that is strong and durable. Cribs could be standard ones, or ones which look cradles having a rocking motion to put baby to sleep comfortably. You will find some expensive options too like a convertible one, one with a baby changing station too or beautiful fabric canopy themed cribs. Make sure that whichever you choose, it should have smooth edges and gives you freedom to clean its every corner.

Highchairs: High chairs are a necessity to teach the baby to eat. Look out for seamless designs that eliminate the possibility of trapped food and have a removable tray to facilitate cleaning. Such high chairs minimize the potential for bacteria growth and are much safer for your child’s hygiene. Another aspect to check is its durability; an ideal baby high chair is the one which is durable and does not shudder or wobble. It is better to buy a branded baby high chair from a reputed baby furniture industry. Your best bet is to buy a high chair having adjustable shoulder straps and a safety belt to hold the baby safely.

There are many other important furniture essentials that you should include in your list. I will discuss them in my next writing. But most important ones like baby changing stations and baby cribs are the bare necessities that should be present while bringing the new baby home.
