Checklist For Changing Tables
- The range of changing tables includes the classic changing chest, the changing table or changing shelf, and the space-saving wall-mounted changing table. The decision depends, among other things, on the space conditions in your home.
- Description: The classic changing table is usually a solid piece of furniture, usually made of wood. It can be a real eye-catcher in the nursery. Common changing chests are 85 cm wide and 75 cm long.
- Advantages: it provides a spacious changing area even for larger babies. In addition, additional shelves provide space for care products. Drawers and compartments provide ample storage space.
- Disadvantages: The massive changing table takes up a relatively large amount of space.
- Description: this changing table is lighter, usually made of plastic and steel tubes. Often these changing tables have casters. Changing tables are about 55 cm wide and 75 cm long.
- Advantages: The design is very space-saving. In addition, the changing table is mobile due to its wheels and can be used flexibly in different places in the apartment. Shelves under the changing surface provide ample storage space.
- Disadvantages: In addition to a smaller changing surface, there is no storage area for care products on the changing table.
- Description: A wall-mounted changing table is attached to the wall at the appropriate height and folds down when needed. Wall-mounted changing tables are usually 65 cm wide and 70 cm long.
- Advantage: It is space-saving and suitable for the smallest living space.
- Disadvantage: The changing area is relatively small, it is essential to ensure sufficient height of the lateral boundaries. In addition, a wall-mounted changing table has no storage space, neither for care products nor for diapers or baby clothes.
- This is simply placed on a table. This is the optimum in space saving. However, storage space and shelf space are missing. Changing tops are about 75 cm wide and 75 cm long.
- When deciding on a purchase, also pay attention to the dimensions. Your baby will be changed several times a day and the changing table should have a height appropriate to your height. The usual height is between 86 and 89 centimeters.

FAQ For Changing Tables
On a changing table belong baby colds, lotion, wet wipes, diapers, trash can and basically everything that is needed when changing diapers.
A child can be changed on the changing table up to the age of 2-3 years. If the child grows larger and heavier, a more stable background is recommended.
A radiant heater should hang between 80 and 100 cm above the changing table. When mounting, care should be taken to ensure a stable installation, as a falling radiant heater can cause serious injuries and burns.
If external injuries are visible or the child behaves differently than usual, a visit to the doctor is recommended.
The size of a changing table depends on the size of the child and the experience with changing diapers. Experienced parents usually need less space.
As soon as a child is too big or too heavy for the changing table, a change should be made to a more stable base. This is usually the case at around 2 years of age.
