The Zoo has the world’s first and only self-sanitizing diaper changing table named Pluie. Pluie is powered by a patented UV-C light system that damages 99.99% of germs, bacteria and viruses* within one minute after every use. All you do is place your child on the comfortable cushion and hang a bag on the side handles. When finished changing your child, close the table and the sanitization cycle will safely begin!
*Verified by a third-party laboratory that conducted microbial efficacy testing using E. Coli.
