Changing tables are a great way to make diaper changing easy and convenient.
 |
Not only are baby changing tables convenient, they are a back saver! With changing over 3,000 diapers per child, baby changing tables allow your back to stay at a healthy posture. Even more, baby changing tables conveniently allow you to have everything you need within a hand’s reach.
As a parent you will be forced to change your child’s diaper in the craziest spots. From a booth in a restaurant to the front seat of your car, changing your child’s diaper never gets
easier when you are on the go. Not only is it difficult to change a diaper in public, you cannot seem to do it fast enough. By the time you are done, you either made a nasty mess or are shaking from the pressure to hurry. At home you can save yourself from this stress. Baby changing tables allow you to take your time while keeping the area and yourself clean.
When shopping for baby changing tables, you will discover that there are several different styles and colors to choose from. There are baby changing tables with shelves, baskets, drawers and even organizers. These great features allow you to store essential items such as wipes, diaper cream, diapers and distracting toys all within a hand’s reach. You can also consider using a dresser as a changing table. Just find the dresser you want and put a removable changing pad on top. If you decide to do this, make sure you find a changing table pad with at least two baby restraint straps to ensure your child’s safety. Once the diaper changing stage is over, your child can continue to use the “changing table” as a dresser.

Now, let’s talk more safety. On average, nine children younger than 5 years old die per year from toppling furniture and approximately 8,000 to 10,000 people (mostly children)
are injured. As scary as it sounds, its reality. Easy-to-tip furniture can cause death. To prevent such tragedies, buy furniture straps. Furniture straps can secure baby changing tables to the wall to prevent tipping. According to consumer reports, furniture straps are a reliable safeguard for children up to 4 years old.
Also, when shopping for baby changing tables, keep the height of the table in mind. If you are tall, go for a taller table. If you are short, go for a smaller one. Most baby changing tables vary in height from 36 inches to 43 inches. Again, finding the right height can save your back from lots of pain!
