The key changing_table=* allows specifying the availability of changing tables where parents can change the nappies of their babies. This key supersedes the now deprecated diaper=* key.

This key is a property that is used in combination with amenity=*, toilets=*, shop=* and other features.

Comparison with the deprecated diaper=* key

A new tag was necessary because diaper=* wasn't well defined, is not self-explanatory and confused some on the mailing list.
