subject: Baby Change Table - An Indispensible Item For New Parents [print this page] One of the most indispensable items that you should get in preparation for the arrival of your baby is a baby change table. Naturally, there are plenty of other things that you'll need, but this one, for a lot of reasons, is something to seriously consider. It may just be a question of what kind best suits you, your significant other, and your baby.
Before you run out and buy a baby change table, you should take a look at some of the many different options. One of the things to consider is how much storage for your baby items you have. You may already have another piece of furniture that contains all of your baby-related items. If that is the case a simple and secure table that has a good solid surface. If not, you may need to explore some of the more comprehensive, all-inclusive pieces.
Some of the change tables have attached changing pads, while others provide you with just a sturdy and reliable surface. The minimum requirements for a serviceable table will include a nice protective border edge and a safety strap to keep your baby from, heaven forbid, falling off.
Fortunately for your little treasure, there are some baby accessories that you can add to your change table to make it more useful and comfortable. Baby changing pads, especially the contoured type, adds extra comfort and an increased security to your baby and the whole changing process. Most of these are of a standard size that can slip right into the changing surface of most any table.
Another thing you should do to make sure that you choose the right changing table for the entire family is to check the height that best fits you. The main idea of an item like this is to make all the changes easier on the parents. Instead of bending and hunching over to do floor, sofa and bed diaper changes, you've got the table to make things easier. But you want to take accurate measurements to ensure the you get a table that maximizes your own comfort during changes. Fortunately, most all the products that you find on the internet will be accompanied by their dimensions and measurements.
Again, depending on the set up of your nursery you may want a combination baby changing table. Some of these are beautiful designer pieces of furniture that offer lots of cabinet and drawer space to go along other the diaper changing surface. With one of these, you may not need another stick of furniture other than the crib. Keep all of your wipes, lotions, powders, diapers, baby clothes, etc. in one convenient place.
Really when you think about it, a changing table is just as much for you as it is for your baby. Get the right one for you and make life easier on you, your significant other, and your beautiful little baby.
