The changing table is one of the most popular and sought after accessories by new mothers, because it is one of the functional tools for the care of your child. The changing tables are very popular, they are present in a thousand models, of as many colors and with different accessories depending on the brands or price range to which we refer. When you have to buy a changing table you are assailed by a myriad of options and so many possibilities of purchase that you are inevitably confused and confused, but first of all you need to make some clarity about its real use and the characteristics to be taken into account to make good use of it.
The changing table is a rigid, padded or soft support, where once the newborn baby is placed you can proceed to diaper change or clean routine. In addition to that, for many mothers this becomes the place to take care of the baby and also the place to play with your baby and take care of him. It is an accessory that must be chosen and used with care, it is best to always place it on a wide and stable base with a discreet surrounding space, which will allow you to place all the products and accessories you will need during operations. The changing table, when not in use, should not be used as a support for any object, because it could become dirty and therefore no longer be hypoallergenic and disinfected to accommodate your baby.
Therefore it is always preferable to opt for materials that are easily disinfectable or removable.
The components that usually make up the baby changing table are made of aseptic and toxic materials, which do not harm the health and delicate skin of the baby. The most common models are plastic or wooden changing tables. In both cases, the structure is naturally coloured with non-toxic and washable paints. The changing tables are regulated by specific and precise regulations which, depending on the age of the child, provide standard measurements and characteristics.
There are many types of changing tables on the market, which must necessarily adapt to the personal use of each mother. Each type differs from the other for the accessories or the price ranges to which they refer.
The changing table with a dresser is definitely one of the most used. It should be placed in a fairly large room, as it looks like a real piece of furniture, with compartments and drawers. It is usually equipped with at least 5 drawers, made of wood that can be used to store the necessary for the child. The changing table is placed on the highest shelf, often has side shelters to protect the child from falls and is structured with a large space-support for games or products. This type of changing table is generally purchased by those who buy the complete furnishing of the child's bedroom and then choose to complete it all with this additional piece of furniture. It is also recommended for those who have space to store it because its dimensions are similar to those of a classic chest of drawers.
Another very common type is the changing table with bathtub: the baby's bathtub is connected to the hydraulic water drainage system so that the baby can be washed and cleaned without moving from the changing table. Great for bathing in safety and convenience. If the changing table structured in this way cannot be placed in the bathroom for reasons of space, it can easily be placed directly in the room. Generally this type of changing table is equipped not only with drawers to store objects but also with wheels or a mobile support to move the changing table where you prefer.
If you realize that you do not have room for a changing table in your bedroom or bathroom, then it is preferable to opt for a wall-mounted changing table. It is fixed to the wall and consists of two parts: one fixed to the wall that houses all the accessories for bathing or changing diapers and a part that is lowered if necessary and on which the baby will be placed. This type has the advantage of not being bulky and can be placed on any free wall. On the other hand, you will need to fix it to the wall and then drill holes in the wall and it may not be stable enough to hold the child.
Portable changing tables are a little-known type that has many advantages. This changing table can be carried very easily, it can be placed between the baby's bed frame or even on the bathtub. The changing table is equipped with side pockets for the transport of bath products and tools, to have everything you need at hand. It is designed to store diapers, creams and baby care products as well as any toys that might come in handy. Convenient for transport, practical for the many compartments, this type of product is also suitable for travel, as it can be closed in a practical space-saving case.
The latest model presented on the market are the inflatable changing tables: this type, although belonging to the category of portable changing tables, occupies a separate position because it is unique. They are cheap and versatile, they can be stored anywhere after inflating them because they take up very little space. They are generally made of plastic, coloured with non-toxic substances and not harmful to the child, and may have logos or prints to attract the child's attention.
This type of changing tables is not only practical to use, but also easy to wash and clean. They are often designed with side edges to protect the baby from accidental falls when changing diapers, when the baby moves frequently.
The changing table is an object that must be practical and comfortable especially for the mother, so it is good to evaluate the size and height of the supports on which it will be placed. In addition to the positioning height, you should also consider the actual size of your changing table, whether it is the right size for the space at your disposal or whether it might be too bulky. If you have a large bedroom set, it is recommended to opt for the drawer or tray models, otherwise you will have to prefer something more compact, such as portable versions. It is good to always keep in mind the materials with which the changing table is made, you should not be superficial but always choose brands that can guarantee quality certifications and tests on materials. The materials of which the changing table is made will come into contact with the child's skin and must therefore be non-toxic to the child's skin. The price range is a deterrent for the choice of changing table, it should be borne in mind that the price of a changing table is closely related to its type and accessories.
