Tips from parents
Consider adding a washable cover or liner to make cleaning easier, especially for messier changes.
Measure your changing surface to ensure the dimensions will be a good fit, as some parents found it too small.
Always keep a hand on your baby during changes, as the flat design may not prevent rolling off the edge.
