During the first few weeks of life, your baby will need a fresh nappy six to ten times a day. Unless you want your little one to grow up nappy-free, the nappy is a daily companion for at least one year. It is all the more important to set up a comfy and safe changing area where baby and parents feel at home. Here you will find selected changing tables that make changing nappies easier for you and that can be integrated into your home easily.
The classic among the changing furniture is the changing unit. It consists of a chest of drawers and a matching changing mat or pad that can be removed later. This way, the changing unit can still be used after the nappy years, for example to store clothes or toys. A changing mat cushions the lying surface and ensures more comfort and safety on the changing unit.
The big advantage of a changing unit is that it offers plenty of space for your child, accessories and care products. Spare clothes, nappies, nappy bucket and creams are ready at hand and do not have to be searched for before changing your little one’s nappy. The biggest disadvantage of the changing unit is its size: It takes up a lot of space and is therefore less suitable for small rooms.
As practical as the classic changing unit might be – it is rarely suitable for small rooms. In smaller children's rooms, alternatives such as a changing table or changing shelf are often used. These pieces of changing furniture are much more compact than a chest of drawers, but serve the same purpose. While its stable base offers enough space for accessories and baby care items, the changing area can be used for extensive kicking, changing nappies and cuddling. Changing nappies on these pieces of changing furniture with a changing mat is even safer and more comfortable. Models with padded, raised side panels in particular increase comfort and safety.
The greatest advantages of changing tables and changing shelves include their small space requirement and their high flexibility. If they are no longer needed, many models can be quickly and easily converted into a shelf or children's table. Nevertheless, changing furniture such as changing tables and shelves can also be too big for small baby rooms or apartments - or they do not meet the aesthetic requirements of new parents. There are also alternative options, which are presented in the next section.
If there is not enough space for a changing table or more compact changing furniture, many parents prefer clever and very compact solutions that can be used flexibly. A wall-mounted changing shelf can be folded down if necessary and does not take up too much space. The built-in shelf offers space for the most important baby care items. However, accessories such as a nappy bucket etc. cannot be stored there.
Changing stations with padding or a separate changing mat are also very popular with parents with a small apartment. A changing station for the bathtub is placed on the edge of the bathtub. The simplest models offer a flexible changing option, other models combine a top changing table with a frame for the baby bathtub.
A changing board is usually used on the cot, less often on other furniture. The stable support made of wood has either recesses for the sides of the cot or brackets with screws. This way, the changing board is attached securely and cannot move even if your baby moves heavily.
Suitable changing furniture are the base for a changing station where babies and parents feel comfortable. But only the right accessories turn it into a really comfortable spot for wellbeing that is also very suitable for baby massage and baby gymnastics.
Changing furniture is usually complemented with
A mobile above the changing station catches your baby's attention, provides distraction and entertainment. In many cases, an additional lamp that provides a soft light is also helpful.
