Product Information

Having a changing pad can save furniture and other items from the contents of your baby’s soiled diapers.

Ideally, it's much safer to change your baby on the floor, as they don't have anywhere to fall. However, if you are planning on using a baby changing unit, we recommend purchasing a wedged baby changing mat (or an anti-roll baby changing mat) to prevent them from wriggling or hitting their head. Here at Mumsnet, we're dedicated to making parents' lives easier and we know how much difference the right product can make. That's why we've vetted and reviewed all sorts of products, from the best breast pumps to the best baby bottles - turning to the real experts: the real parents of the Mumsnet forums, for recommendations. A portable changing mat is so essential to change your little one while on the move. Your baby doesn’t mind the location; they will go when they need to go. So you need to be prepared and ready to change them wherever and whenever. A portable changing mat is also needed for when you are visiting other people or in the outdoors when a changing station might not be in the area. Size: Most changing pads are roughly 32 inches long and 16 inches wide, but there are some small variations. If you're using a changing table or a changing-table tray on top of a dresser, it can be worth it to measure the space you have to work with to be sure the changing pad you're buying will fit.Look at the portable changing station’s straps next. You’ll find most offer either a handle for easily carrying the pad, or a strap that can be attached to your wrist or your baby’s stroller. Of course, depending on the size of the pad, you may even be able to slide the pad in your diaper bag instead of having to carry it separately. A note about milk safety – although some bags are marketed as being able to keep bottles of milk warm for hours on end, we have questions about the safety of this practice. Bacteria loves to grow in warm environments, so keeping a bottle of milk warm for a long period of time seems questionable at best, especially when it’s going to be fed to a vulnerable infant. The only negative is that it is a higher cost and might be more than you want to spend for a travel changing mat. Also, it’s possible the arms might upset the baby more, making nappy changing harder work. However, we definitely feel this mat is worth a place on our list of best portable changing mats.

One of the most important things to look out for when choosing a changing mat is that it's easy to clean. Whether it's a wipe-down version or one you can easily pop in the washing machine, it's highly likely it will get dirty more than once! The best mats are ones that you don't have to spend hours cleaning.

What are the different kinds of changing bag?

Many modern changing bags are designed to look good while offering practical features too, so it's perfectly possible to find a changing bag you're also happy to use for other situations. In the early months and years of parenthood, you'll be using your changing bag a lot, so it makes sense to put as much consideration and money towards it as you would any other everyday bag.
