I will never think the buckle unnecessary or silly again.Change Mats are an absolute essential for any mum or dad who is looking to keep their baby safe from harmful germs and bacteria on surfaces both at home and in public. I'd much rather have a broken face than a broken/dead baby, but if I'd used the buckle that the pad came with, I wouldn't have had to have either.
I lunged and caught him, just as his head grazed the ground, and in doing so I smashed my own face into the corner of the wall.
Until one day I stepped 3 feet to the side for two seconds, and my 7-month-old baby flipped himself out of the changing pad and fell head first towards the hard tile floor. I thought it wasn't necessary if I was right there. But with the popularity of "changing tables" and other such high furniture, it's likely that a lot of people are placing these things high up, and, let's face it, probably not buckling their babies in. Some people put the pad on a high surface, some put it on the bed or floor. Some changing pads have a strap to buckle the baby down, some don't. UPDATE: I feel like I need to add this, even though I don't want to sound like I'm lecturing people. But if your baby does have frequent accidents, then you'd need to use a separate waterproof liner on top of the pad, or just get another changing pad altogether. If your baby isn't prone to accidents in the short amount of time the diaper is open, then this pad is great all around and can be used as is (ours lasted over a year and a half of daily use before it started developing tears). That's why we've been using it without a liner (the surface is very soft and pleasant, not plasticky). Luckily, our baby has never pooped on the pad, and only peed on it maybe twice in 20 months, and even then it was mostly contained in the open diaper under her butt or on the bath towel, so it hasn't been a problem. You can wash the surface, but the foam in the holes remains stained. Once liquid gets in there, there's no way to clean it out. You can see the foam underneath through the holes.
Well, I really wish they hadn't punctured the entire surface of the pad with all these little holes!!! They're not even stitch holes - there are no stitches forming the quilt-like pattern - no, it's just holes into the waterproof surface! Dumbest thing ever - why would you create a waterproof surface, and then drill a million holes into it?!?!? So, practically, it is not waterproof. Our baby also liked pushing up with her feet and scooting around the pad, so keeping her contained on all four sides was also crucial.Īs far as cleanability goes. But that strap that's drilled into the dresser was literally a lifesaver! I also love the 4 walls. She lost interest after she was no longer able to push herself around.
Baby change pad size how to#
We didn't use it at first, but at one point our daughter figured out how to push herself off the wall with her feet and slide the whole changing pad away from the wall, so we had to quickly attach the strap to the dresser that we use as a changing table. It's very well cushioned, and the strap that attaches to the changing table is great for keeping it in place. This changing pad is perfect for our needs and has served us well for over a year and a half now. Obviously a perfect storm of events for that to happen, but wanted to point it out.Overall a good purchase, especially for the price. But as you can see (photos attached), some of it seems to have gotten through and permanently stained the pad. I cleaned up the poo immediately and expected it to wash away. I happened to be changing my son while our covers were being washed and he had a blowout. Because of its plastic outside, it's actually quite slick when placed on a hard surface.- We've had no problems fitting several different standard covers, from different makers, to this padBe aware that, while the plastic itself is waterproof, the "quilted" perforations in the cover appear to let liquid soak in. There are no "grips" on the bottom of the pad. We've found this pad works perfectly well and does seem to fit all standard covers.To answer some common questions:- The pad measures 31 1/2" long by 16" wide (see photos)- There is a set of straps to securely buckle your child in while on the table, and a third strap for securing (with a screw) the pad to the dresser or table.
With both, we have only noticed a slight plastic smell that many other reviewers mentioned. We picked this up for about 50% of the big box cost.So far we've gone through two of these pads and have been pleased. Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2015Īfter seeing the prices the big box stores wanted for a changing table pad, we ran to Amazon.
