Common types of changing tables
1. Compact and portable: Suitable for households with minimal space or frequent movement
Most of these changing tables are simple stands and waterproof countertop designs.
The size is usually around 60cm×40cm, light weight, Some can also be folded into the size of a notebook and stuffed into a wardrobe or suitcase.
But be careful: small countertops are generally narrower, when the baby is over 6 months old and can turn over, you must always protect it with your hands to prevent the baby from falling.
2. Type with storage function: suitable for families that need storage
This changing table has 1-2 tiers of drawers under the countertop,
Wet wipes bags can be hung on the side, and there is no need to find an additional place to put diaper changing supplies, which is very friendly to small apartments
However, it also has disadvantages: most of them are stationary and cannot be folded
3. Foldable model: both practical and space-saving
This changing table can be folded and leaned against the corner of the bedroom without taking up space, open it as a changing table during the day, and put away at night. Easy to operate.
4. Fixed model (solid wood / steel pipe): suitable for long-term use and stable families
This type of changing table is mostly solid wood or thickened steel pipe frame, which cannot be folded, but has the best stability, can bear more than 40 pounds, and some can also be used as long furniture
For example, in solid wood models, the baby does not need to change diapers, remove the waterproof mat on the countertop, and it can be used as a children's bookshelf or small desk.
User experience
Before buying a changing table, my diaper change was a "guerrilla mode": sometimes I changed on the master bed, and the baby always rolled to the edge of the bed; sometimes changing the sofa in the living room, and the waist will be sore for half a day after bending over; What's even more troublesome is that diapers and wipes have to be carried at hand, and occasionally they will drop things on the ground in a hurry - especially when the baby is just a full moon, he spits up milk frequently, and he has to take care of wiping milk stains when changing diapers, which is simply useless.
Until using a foldable changing table was too practical for me.
Summary: Who are the different types suitable for?
Choose a small and portable type: suitable for renters, families who often travel with babies, or families with limited budgets who want to make a short-term transition;
Optional storage function type: suitable for small apartments, no additional baby storage cabinets, and families who want to "use one thing for two purposes" (remember to choose a stable frame);
Choose a foldable model: suitable for most families, especially novice parents who have a small bedroom space and want to balance practicality and space-saving (prefer hydraulic rod folding structure);
Choose a fixed model:cocok untuk keluarga dengan kamar bayi independen, mengejar stabilitas dan daya tahan, dan ingin digunakan sebagai furnitur anak-anak untuk waktu yang lama (model kayu solid lebih hemat biaya).
Pada akhirnya, tidak ada kepraktisan mutlak dalam produk perawatan bayi, hanya jenis yang tepat.
