Abstract
A baby-changing apparatus for use in public rest rooms or other places where space is limited is provided with a padded table bearing a roll of paper and a cutting and retaining bar, which can be positioned parallel to a vertical mounting surface when not in use, or supported and retained in a horizontal position for use by a hinged bracket with a vertical projection at its outermost end, which bears against the outermost edge of the table and prevents unintentional movement of the bracket. The roll of paper and cutting and retaining bar are adapted to provide a clean table surface prior to use. The table is provided with a safety belt with a tongueless friction buckle.
