Notice in LM toilet - the mind boggles!

[trainophile]

Above the fold-down baby changing shelf is a notice saying "Maximum weight 20kg. This table (shelf?) is to be used for baby changing only".

What could they possibly be implying? A spate of extremely large babies?

 

[N Levers]

Most fold down baby changing tables (in shops and restaurants etc.) state a maximum weight between 20 and 30 kgs.

A lot of children still wear nappies at 3 years of age and can be hitting 30 kgs at that age.

I doubt a 3-year-old would fit on the table, but I'll concede your point.

Just my mind misbehaving!

It's just a legal cover your arse note. If it's not there then some full grown adult will sit on the table, get injured when it inevitably collapses and sue the company responsible for the upkeep of the table. It's not unique to the railway, you see them on baby changing tables in shopping centres, leisure centres and the like too.

Surely your (baby's) arese covers it!

I think you're getting your units mixed up. An average 3 year old is 30 lbs or 14 kilos. They won't reach 30 kilos (66 lbs / 4.5 stones) until they are 9 or 10.

Some adults with continence problems need changing benches as well. (A baby-sized one wouldn't hold their weight though!)

To stop women putting their shopping on it?

to alert couples wanting to use it for shagging?

That was what I was getting at in my original post but it seems most users of this forum have purer minds than me! .

 

[gordonthemoron]

having used one in the old MkIV toilets for that purpose, I'd say they'd take up to 12 stone

See I told you it was to stop you putting your bags on it.

Now call me a prude if you like. But I can't think of anything worse than indulging in said act somewhere where a nappy change might have just taken place!!!

I'm on about the cleanliness of them at the time of day someone might fancy a bit.
