You may have heard a baby changing table referred to as a baby dressing table, and it is one of the most important pieces of furniture you will buy for the nursery. There will be plenty of changes over the first year and a half of your baby’s life and having a place to do that where you don’t have to adjust your posture or lean over any objects like the crib will make things that much easier. A baby dressing table also gives you a place to store all of the items you need for changing with ample shelf space and drawers.
Much like buying a crib, you want to be sure you are getting the best when you buy a changing table, so here is a guide to making the right purchase.
Different Types of Changing Tables – When you shop for a changing table, you will see there are different styles, some that are portable and others that are more traditional. The portable ones can be great if you plan on being away from home a lot, but you should still have a baby dressing table in your home that provides all of the easy access to the items you need and stability when standing and changing your baby.
Pads and Toppers – A changing table is more than just the actual structure itself. There are also pads and toppers that should be used and are essential to a changing table. If a baby is comfortable on the changing table, it is more likely they will be still during changing. The pad or topper you get with a changing table can be thin and make it uncomfortable. If you buy a pad that protects the top of the table and feels comfortable, it will make changing that much easier.
Style – You want the style of the furniture in the nursery to match as closely as possible or better yet be part of a set so everything matches. Luckily changing tables come in many different styles and colors to match any room.
Structure – While the style may be important, the most important thing to consider is how the table is built. You want it to be sturdy and durable so that you know your baby is safe on top of the table and changing can go smoothly.
