Choosing a Baby Changing Table That’s Right For Your Baby’s Nursery


With the thought of all of the diapers you will be changing as a new parent, a free standing baby changing table provides you with a convenient, clean and safe place to change your baby's diapers. Changing Tables are available in a variety of finishes, styles and brands that can match anyone's personal style and existing nursery furniture. We have listed below some points you should keep in mind when choosing a baby changing table.

· Baby Changing Table Sturdiness - This is the most important quality to look for in a changing table. Look for a table with solids legs and one that doesn't look weak and fragile. Give the changing table the shake test. If it’s flimsy now, it can only get worse.


· Safety Straps - Safety straps are a must have feature when using a diaper changing table. These safety straps allow you to strap down your baby so he or she can't roll off the table. They are sometimes inconvenient to use when you are in a hurry, but are well worth the added couple of seconds in the name of safety.


· Guardrails - The higher the guardrails are around the table the safer your baby is going to be. But even when your changing table has high rails, always use the safety strap and keep one hand on your baby at all times.


· Changing pad - Changing pads are usually included with the changing table and come in a variety of styles –flat and contoured are the most prevalent. Although they are waterproof, the smell of urine can sometimes linger. Washing the pad with a mild soap and water should help keep thing fresh. Pad size is usually about 18” x 36”. Add a terry cloth cover for babies comfort to dress up the nursery.


· Storage - You will need a place to store diapers, wipes, creams, ointments and washcloths. While some parents prefer storage drawers; some parents prefer the open shelves on the majority of changing tables. This allows you to have everything in reach when your changing your baby's diaper. If you have pets, the openness of the changer might make it not the best choice in the nursery.


· Alternatives to free standing wood changers – Contoured changing pads that snap or screw to the back side of your dresser require no extra space in the nursery as the rest on top of an appropriate height dresser (30”-38” tall). Contour Pads have raised sides and a safety belt help keep your baby in place.


· Flip Kit Changers – Flip kit changers rest on the top of a dresser and attach down the back for safety. The have felt or silicone rubber feet so they won’t damage the top of the furniture. When it “flips out” towards you, it effectively doubles your workspace and allows you to change the baby “vertically”. This is more advantageous than changing the baby sideways as it is easier to see what you are doing.
