While many restroom fixtures attach to finished walls, baby changing stations carry far greater responsibility. They support children, not just supplies, and must support real weight, real movement, and years of daily use. That’s why structural reinforcement and proper anchoring are critical components of installation, and why the EZ Mount™ backer plate exists. 

What is the EZ Mount Backer Plate?

The EZ Mount backer plate is a patented mounting system designed to securely anchor baby changing stations to the restroom wall.

Installed behind the changing station, the backer plate provides ease of installation on walls without 16” stud spacing and ensures the changing station remains stable during use. This added structural support enhances safety and long-term reliability in high-traffic commercial environments.

Just as importantly, it simplifies the installation process. Designed with efficiency in mind, the EZ Mount system allows for a straightforward, streamlined install, often manageable by a single installer, to reduce labor time while maintaining secure, code-conscious mounting. It’s an engineered reinforcement solution that makes wall-mounted changing stations stronger, safer, and easier to install correctly.

How to Install with the EZ Mount Backer Plate

1. Locate wall studs and measure 41.75" from the finished floor to ensure ADA-compliant height. Position the EZ Mount backer plate and mark the first two mounting holes.
2. Drill holes (1/8") at the marked locations and secure the backer plate to the wall.
3. Place the changing station onto the backer plate to align it, then mark the four mounting holes — ensuring at least one fastener anchors into a stud.
4. Remove the unit and drill 1/8" pilot holes at the marked locations.
5. Reposition the changing station on the backer plate, secure it to the wall, and install the screw covers to complete installation.

Which Baby Changing Tables Are Compatible with EZ Mount?

The EZ Mount backer plate is offered in two model-specific versions to ensure proper fit and reinforcement. One version is designed exclusively for the Vertical Origin baby changing station. The second is engineered for Sova’s horizontal models, including the Horizontal Origin, Aura, and Span baby changing tables. Choosing the correct backer plate for your specific unit helps ensure secure installation and long-term performance.

When it comes to wall-mounted baby changing stations, what’s behind the wall is just as important as what’s visible on it. The EZ Mount backer plate provides reinforced, engineered support for changing tables, helping ensure they’re securely fastened, properly aligned, and built to withstand real-world use.
