diaper changing trolley

Share definition
Nearly identical to a regular standard baby changing table, except a diaper changing trolley is equipped with casters so one can roll it around the house, or from room to room. Diaper changing trollies are often used in baby daycare centres, halfway houses, foster care homes, and institutional settings, where large numbers of children are in diapers.

Diaper changing trollies are used to store all of the babies diaper changing needs, as well as a diaper pail. Diaper changing trollies were popular and widely used in the U.K. throughout the 1960's and 70's.
After supper I rolled the diaper changing trolley down the hall from baby room to baby room, to take care of all the children's diaper changes.

Before starting the diaper changing, I double checked that the diaper changing trolley was well stocked with extra diapers, rubber pants, and a clean diaper pail.

cloth diapers

Cloth diapers are diapers that can be laundered and used over and over again, multiple times. Fashioned out of soft absorbent material such as flannel, birdseye cotton, or gauze, cloth diapers are most commonly fastened with safety pins and worn with protective waterproof panties over top. Traditional old-fashioned cloth diapers are rectangle or square in shape, sheet styled in appearance, and require folding in order to be used on a baby or child. Standard traditional cloth diapers are white in colour.
In the dayhome we strictly used cloth diapers on all of the children.

The kids ran around inside the home wearing nothing but rubber pants and cloth diapers.

diaper changing pad

A diaper changing pad is a pad in which to change a baby's diapers on. Diaper changing pads prevent wetness and soiling of surrounding areas while diapering babies. Diaper changing pads are commonly made out of 100% waterproof vinyl, with a soft quilted and padded backing to add to baby's comfort.

A diaper changing table is a special table that allows easy diaper changing of babies. A table of counter top height, baby changing tables are equipped with shelving to hold supplies such as diapers, rubber pants, pins, ointment, training pants, baby wash cloths, change pads, etc. Baby diaper changing tables are most often equipped with vinyl changing pads on top of them, and a safety strap to secure active babies in place while changing diapers.
The daycare where I worked had 2 diaper changing tables in the nursery room.

I laid the baby down on top of the diaper changing table before bedtime, to change his diapers.

I noticed that the top shelf of the baby diaper changing table had two neatly folded stacks of cloth diapers on it, along with several pairs of rubber pants and some diaper pins.
