Changing facilities on the go

Solutions for trips and excursions

For families with children who have special care needs, the question of suitable changing facilities often arises when traveling - be it on long car journeys or on extended walks in a wheelchair. Finding suitable places for nursing can be a challenge, especially when accessible facilities or changing tables are not always available.

In the car

When we travel by car, we always change babies in the trunk or on the back seat of our bus. So far, this has worked very well - but from a certain height, it could become problematic.

Toilets for everyone

More and more cities have "toilets for everyone". These are toilets specially designed to meet the needs of people with disabilities, including a large reclining area and a hoist. You can find out where to find them here.

Disabled WC

Just in case, we have a paint film from the DIY store with us. This covers the often dirty floor of the spacious disabled toilet and we spread a blanket over it. We use a changing rucksack as a pillow. We then dispose of the paint film in the garbage. This is not exactly resource-saving and environmentally friendly and is only feasible for a short time due to the weight, but at least it offers some privacy.

Picnic blanket

We always have a blanket with us, so we can change outside in good weather.

In the wheelchair

Our wheelchair can be tilted, so we can change her without having to take our daughter out of the wheelchair.
