A baby changing table is normally a raised platform that allows a person to change a baby’s nappy. These tables are normally quite robust, made of plastic, metal or wood with a soft cushioned surface made of vinyl. Some baby changing tables have shelves incorporated into them to allow the storage of nappies etc. Price of the table normally depends on quality and materials used, a wooded baby changing table will normally demand a higher price than one of metal and plastic construction. While some mothers prefer to change their baby on the floor or sofa, the added storage and wipe clean surface make baby changing tables very useful accessories. Important features to look out for are:

• Guard rails that protect babies from accidental falls
• Safety cords or straps that can secure the baby to the table
• The changing table should have a wipe clean surface
• Plenty of storage space underneath the table for powders, creams and nappies
