What to Look For
Changing tables should be a safe place for your baby and a comfortable place for you. Before you select one, check out the following features:
- Guardrails: These are necessary in order to prevent any falls, but you need to be able to comfortably move and change your baby while reaching over them.
- Safety Straps: Like the guardrails, safety straps are another safety feature that is designed to prevent falls and injuries. Take some time to play with them and make sure you are comfortable.
- Sturdiness: Changing tables should be sturdy and durable. Give the table a good shake to make sure it feels strong and sturdy. Be sure to inquire about any weight limits.
- Your Comfort: Are you comfortable? Is it too tall or short? Does it put strain on your back? With so many changing tables available, don't give up until you find one that feels like a good fit for both you and the baby.
