Abstract
A wall-mounted station for changing the diapers of a baby comprises a base configured for being vertically mounted to a wall and defining a base plane and a baby platform hingedly mounted to the base and defining a platform plane. The baby platform is operable for being movable between an opened position wherein the platform plane is disposed generally perpendicular to the base plane for the platform to receive a baby and a closed position wherein the platform plane is generally parallel to the base plane. A stop mechanism secures the platform generally perpendicular to the base in the opened position. A flange positioned around a periphery of the base is configured for engaging a wall when the base is inset therein for covering an exposed edge of the wall and stabilizing the base in the wall.
