Paediatric Changing Benches for Children with Disabilities
At John Preston, we understand that changing and personal care routines can become increasingly challenging as children grow and their mobility needs change. Our range of paediatric changing benches provides safe, practical and comfortable solutions to support children with disabilities, complex needs and reduced mobility, while helping parents, carers and healthcare professionals carry out everyday care routines with greater ease and dignity.
Supporting Safe and Comfortable Changing Routines
As children grow, standard changing surfaces may no longer provide the height, space or support required for safe care. A specialist children's changing bench can help reduce manual handling risks while creating a more comfortable experience for both the child and carer.
Paediatric changing benches can provide support with:
- Safe and secure positioning during changing
- Easier access for parents, carers and healthcare professionals
- Improved working height to reduce bending and lifting strain
- Greater comfort and dignity for children with additional needs
- Safer transfers and assisted personal care routines
Whether you require a solution for occasional support or a more advanced changing system for daily use, John Preston can help you find equipment suited to your child's individual requirements.
Height Adjustable Changing Tables and Special Needs Changing Benches
Our range of paediatric changing tables and changing benches includes solutions designed around different environments and levels of support. Available options include:
- Height-adjustable changing benches – allowing carers to set the ideal working height for safer and more comfortable care
- Wall-mounted changing benches – space-saving solutions ideal for specialist bathrooms and care environments
- Free-standing changing tables – flexible options that can be positioned where required
- Mobile changing tables – providing greater flexibility for changing and showering routines
- Electric and hydraulic changing systems – supporting easier adjustment and reduced physical effort for carers
Features available across our range may include padded changing surfaces, safety sides, adjustable positioning, mobile castors, hoist access and easy-clean materials designed for daily use.
Paediatric Changing Equipment for Home, School and Healthcare Settings
