Picking Out Your First Baby Changing Table

Buying a Baby changing table, changing table pad and a changing pad cover can be an exhausting experience. You could do it online, but there are many features you need to visually inspect in-person before you buy so it's best to shop in stores to get that hands-on feeling. After all, you don't want to buy a Baby changing table that is poorly constructed and ready to fall at the slightest nudge. There are a number of brands and styles to choose from and plenty of places to shop that carry changing tables.

The style and how it will match with your baby room is important but from a design standpoint, you should focus on the durability and overall construction of the unit. Put your purse on the table and act as if you are changing a baby. Lean on the table to see if its durable and made of heavy wood. Your baby will be on this thing, so it needs to be well constructed. Test out the rails that are used to keep your baby from falling off the table. Do you feel like they can hold your baby? Bang your purse into the rails a few times. Did it hold up? If not, exit the store, you may be in trouble.

Does the table come with a changing table pad? If so, do you think your child will be comfortable on the pad and does it have safety features like a belt and raised edges? Check to make sure the pad is made of water resistant material. Also, see what kind of changing pad covers they have available.

The size of the table can also be an important feature to check before making a purchase. Specifically, the width and height can need to be addressed. Will both parents be able to easily change the baby's diapers from this table? Although some couples have great differences in heights, they should try to get a table that is short enough for the smaller parent but you also don't want the taller parent to have to always bend over to change the baby. I guess, to be far, the taller parent could sit, if this is more convenient. The width of the table comes into play when you are limited on space in your baby room. Wider tables also usually provide more table space and drawer space, if you get a Baby changing table with drawers.

The alternative to buying a Baby changing table would be to just purchase a changing table pad and a few changing pad covers. Diaper changes could be done on a bed, the floor or a standard table. These mats have belts and raised edges to attempt to keep the baby still while you do the change and the covers provided a clean surface for you to change your baby.
