ABSTRACT:
A baby changing station includes a platform coupled by a hinge to a wall structure. The platform is movable between a closed position and an open position. The interlocking configuration of the hinge and the combination of the geometries of the platform, the wall structure and a wall portion result in a baby changing station which is sturdy and is not susceptible to contamination, given the blow-molded parts. The platform is hollow and includes a trough for receiving a baby when in the open position. The wall structure is smaller than the platform in order to be nested within the platform when in the closed position. The blow-molded hinge configuration eliminates the use of a steel pin or rod generally used in the art to strengthen the hinge. The baby changing station of the present invention provides a secure interface which may be easily cleaned and maintained and is less subject to structural damage. The hinge is further provided with at least one stop, and preferably five, which prevent the platform from rotating beyond the open position.
