When most people encounter an out of order bathroom, it’s an inconvenience. Unfortunately, for some people with disabilities it’s more than an inconvenience as even ADA compliant bathrooms are closed off to them when there is no adult changing table available. For many, their bathroom needs can be met only through a place where they can lay down and have a diaper changed.  Seeing the need for a solution that allows people with disabilities to live with dignity in public spaces, we created the [equi]table. 

 

We felt this new take was necessary because,  although many changing tables existed for purchase, they simply were too big and bulky for most ADA compliant public bathrooms.  Whereas designers of existing products have implicitly said: “Here’s a nice adult changing table. Now, design a bathroom around it,” we take the opposite approach and have designed our table around the public bathroom.
