diaper changing trolley

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.
