Why do Magrinis new baby changing units NOT have straps?
The MH42, MV64, MT80 and MC75 baby changing units have been manufactured to meet the latest British and European standards. The European standard specifically prohibits restraining harnesses in excess of 220mm. This is to avoid the danger of entrapment and strangulation. Furthermore, the current standards committee are considering banning straps entirely to eliminate this potential hazard. For this reason we decided we would no longer provide straps on our new models. We have made the barriers extra-deep to exceed the standard requirements so that there is no need for straps. The child should never be left unattended and straps can give the impression that it is possible to leave/move away from the child when this is not the case.
