Public nappy changing tables are used by dozens of babies every day and cleaned with varying frequency. The Skip Hop Clean Slate Changing Station - Black is built around that reality: an extra-large wipeable mat (64.7 x 41.11 cm) that unfolds from a compact clutch and covers the entire changing table surface, giving a baby a clean layer between them and whatever was there before. The mat folds in a way that keeps the clean side and dirty side separated for the journey home. Magnetic wipes pocket, disposable bag dispenser, nappy storage, and two carry options - top handle or wristlet - in a clutch that also attaches to the pram. Nylon. Spot clean.
Covering the public changing table: why the size matters
A small changing mat covers the area a baby lies on but leaves the edges and surrounding surface exposed - which means hands, feet, and the mat itself still contact uncleaned table surface during a change. The Clean Slate mat at 64.7 x 41.11 cm is sized to cover an entire standard public changing table, not just the central section. Everything a baby touches during the change is on your mat rather than on the table. The wipeable material means the mat cleans quickly after use, and the fold design means the used side (the one that contacted the public surface) folds inward, keeping it separated from the clean side for the journey home and for the next use.

The fold that keeps clean and dirty sides separated
After a change on a public surface, the underside of the mat has contacted a table that's been used by many other babies. The Clean Slate mat folds in a way that turns the used side inward - the surface that was on the table folds against itself rather than against the clean side. This means the mat can go straight back into the clutch after a change without cross-contaminating the surface your baby will lie on next time. Combined with the wipeable material that allows a quick clean between uses, the fold design is the practical hygiene detail that makes this a product worth using consistently rather than only when you remember to pack it.
Magnetic wipes pocket + disposable bag dispenser
The Clean Slate Changing Station has a magnetic wipes pocket (wipes case sold separately) that opens with one hand and closes securely between uses. The magnetic closure means no fumbling with zips when both hands are occupied during a change. The built-in disposable bag dispenser keeps nappy disposal bags accessible without carrying a separate roll. Together with the nappy storage compartment, the clutch contains everything needed for an away-from-home nappy change in one compact package: mat, wipes access, nappies, and disposal bags.
Two carry options plus pram attachment
The Clean Slate Changing Station works as a standalone clutch with two carry options: a top handle for carrying in-hand, and a wristlet for a hands-free option that keeps it accessible on the wrist during the school run or on an outing with a toddler. It also attaches directly to the pram for parents who want everything staged at pram level for quick access during walks. The compact clutch size (21.59L x 3.81D x 22.86H cm) fits inside most nappy bags or a handbag without taking over the bag, making it practical to carry daily whether or not a nappy change ends up being needed.

Why Parents Choose the Clean Slate Changing Station
The Clean Slate Changing Station - Black earns the choice because it addresses the public changing table problem properly: an extra-large mat that covers the whole surface (not just the centre), wipeable material for quick cleaning between uses, and a fold that keeps the dirty side separated from the clean side for the journey home. The magnetic wipes pocket opens one-handed. The disposable bag dispenser is built in. The clutch attaches to the pram or carries by handle or wristlet. At 21.59 x 3.81 x 22.86 cm, it fits in any nappy bag. Black works with any bag or pram setup without creating a colour matching problem.
The Clean Slate mat unfolds to 64.7 x 41.11 cm, which is sized to cover an entire standard public changing table surface. This means the baby lies on your mat throughout the change rather than on the public surface. The wipeable material allows quick cleaning after use.
After use on a public changing table, the mat folds so the side that contacted the table surface (dirty side) folds inward against itself rather than against the clean side. This keeps the surface your baby will lie on next time separated from the surface that touched the public table.
No. The wipes pocket has a magnetic closure but the wipes case is not included - you supply your own wipes container. The magnetic closure opens with one hand for access during a change.
The Clean Slate Changing Station includes a pram attachment that clips to the pram frame or handlebar, keeping the changing station accessible during walks without carrying it separately. It also has a top handle and wristlet for standalone carry options.
Spot clean with a damp cloth. Do not bleach. The wipeable nylon material allows the mat to be wiped down quickly after use. Allow to dry fully before folding and storing.
