The 8 Best Changing Pads – Guide

You want to change your baby safely and offer optimal comfort? Then a changing mat is a solution. It ensures that your child feels comfortable by lying on a soft and clean surface. There are also practical options on the go, so you don’t have to visit a changing room every time.

Our checklist explains what you should consider when buying a changing mat. Further down you will find the top 8 recommendations so that you are sure to find what you are looking for.

Checklist For Changing Pads

Purpose
  • It is important that your baby is changed on a warm and, above all, clean surface.
  • With a changing mat this is very easy.
  • The pad also allows for a soft surface, so your baby will be more comfortable.
Material
  • The most important thing about a changing mat – it must be easy to clean.
  • Soiling can occur very quickly during diapering. All the better if they can be easily removed.
  • You can find changing mats made of the following materials.
  • PU (polyurethane): the only material that is washable. However, it tends to tear quickly and is not absorbent.
  • Cotton & Terry: Provide a comfortable feeling on the skin. But can not be wiped and must be washed at every slightest soiling.
  • Basically, you should make sure that any material does not contain harmful substances and in the best case has the OEKO-TEX seal.
Types
  • There is a distinction between changing pads for at home and on the road.
  • On trips or similar, a too-large pad takes up a lot of space, is unwieldy and distracting. Therefore, it should be foldable and easy to transport.
  • Some models are even built into a diaper bag and are therefore very practical.
  • At home, on the other hand, the changing mat can be larger. The main thing is that it fits on the changing table. However, it can also be placed in any other place, such as the sofa.
How To Recognize A Good Changing Mat
  • To make your choice easier, here are some important points that a changing mat should absolutely fulfill:
    • High edge (can protect from falling down).
    • Good workmanship (often recognizable by the seams ).
    • Soft padding.
    • Skin-friendly material.
    • possibly OEKO-TEX seal.
