Changing Table Combo

Why Every Nursery Needs a Changing Table Combo

Perhaps the most multipurpose piece of furniture you can have for a baby’s room is the changing table combo. The changing table itself is an elevated area designed for convenient and comfortable diaper changing.

While you can change your baby’s diapers on the floor with a soft pad underneath you may prefer a table because it is so much easier on the back. With the combo you get the changing table along with a full dresser with multiple drawers.

The changing table section may have separate shelves underneath, or it may attach to the dresser top. There are many top brands to choose from including Davinci, Delta and many more. Prices on these furniture pieces range dramatically depending on the manufacturer and model, however you can expect the lowest combo tables to start around $100. There are a few features to look for when buying a changing table with dresser.

First of all, make sure there is a safety strap and sides on the table. This will prevent baby from rolling off the table, however you should never take your eyes or hands off your child when they are on the table as accidents can happen in mere seconds.

The table top of the changing area needs a thick pad that is waterproof. There are terry cloth covers you can purchase for these pads that make them softer. The covers are machine washable and can be tumble dried for convenient cleanup.

Many changing tables come with shelves and drawers where essential baby care items can be stored. This may include diapers, wipes, clothing and lotion.

The most important items you use on a regular basis can be stored in the drawer closest to the changing table top while other items like clothes and towels can go on the shelves. With the rest of baby’s clothes in the attached dresser you’ll have everything you need in one place.

One of the best things about the changing table combo is that once your baby has grown out of the diaper stage, the changing table can be used for extra storage along with the connected dresser drawers. One of these furniture items made from high quality solid wood will last for years.

Your child can use their dresser as they grow and perhaps even hand it down to future generations. Therefore, when buying a combination changing table dresser go for a piece that you know is made with fine craftsmanship.
