Changing Table For Baby

By Darren Hartley


A baby changing table creates a comfortable place for diaper changes. A parent approximately changes 2,400 diapers by the time a baby reaches his first birthday. The selection of a well designed, practical and attractive baby changing table depends upon the cash and the space available. It is a definitely worthwhile investment.

An alternative to a safe baby changing table is a thick changing pad. To help keep the baby from rolling too far in either direction, a contoured pad may be chosen. The pad must be ensured to have a safety strap to hold the baby and another strap or secure system to anchor the baby to the dresser.

There are important safety notes to the use of a baby changing table. Parents must keep in mind that their hands-on supervision is never substituted by a strap. There is no excuse for leaving an unattended baby on a changing table or any elevated surface, for that matter, even for a second.

While changing babies can be a joy, the right baby changing table can make that task quicker and easier. In one day, babies go through six to eight diapers. There are kids that remain in diapers to three years of age.

The cost of basic baby changing table ranges from $80 and $200 while the cost of combination dresser and changing table run anywhere from $200 to $500. It can actually cost much more depending on its design and the materials from which it is made of.

A baby changing table with sturdy straps for attachments and a guardrail for prevention of the baby rolling off the table, creates a safe environment for the changing and dressing of a baby. A changing table must never have exposed nails or rough edges and must have a non-toxic finish.
