Mobile Changing Tables

Today I want to share my idea for changing someone who can not use commercial changing tables.

I'm including photos of the supplies I use, as well as a video. 

All of this hinges on owning a van, or other vehicle, with a hatch back. There are ways it could be adapted for other vehicles, too, but those are not included in this tutorial. 

To be quick, I set up a table in the back of my van, then put a curtain around the trunk to maintain privacy. 

This is the table I use. It has legs with adjustable height and folds in half for easy storage. I found it at both local warehouse stores for around $38.



 These are the mega clips I use to hold my curtains shut. I purchased them at my local office supply store.


 These magnetic clips are the ones I use to secure the curtains to the trunk and side of my van. These work for all fabric types, but can be difficult to find ones strong enough to hold your material.


 Another option for magnets are these hooks. They are super strong, but only work for curtains that have holes for the holding of the hooks. If you get these, make sure they don't attach to each other. It takes a great deal of prayer, cussing and sweat to separate the magnets again.


Here it is with the table set up, and a portion of the privacy curtain in place. 



This is what it looks like from the outside when fully set up.



 This is the view from inside when set up.



Here is the video, showing it all coming together:
