We are going back and forth on a changing table. We live in a 2 bedroom apt, so it's not like anything is far away, and there is a full size bed in the nursery too. Do you just end up changing the baby on the bed (or where ever) or do you really use your changing table?

I use mine.
So many people told me that I didn't need it and they never used theirs, etc., but I have regretted changing Sophie on my bed almost every time I do it. It's a heck of a lot easier to wash a changing pad cover than all your bedding. That said, I didn't buy an actual changing table, but just put a changing pad on top of the dresser. That's much more economical.
We bought a PNP with a changing table on it and it has been set up in our living room since LO was born..we use it 90% of the time..
We also have a full size bed in the nursery and that is where I change her if we are in her room..or now that she is rolling over a lil more I put her on her playmat with the toys overhead and put my diaper caddy and diaper pad down on the floor and do it there and she does fuss about not being able to roll over when its changing time! Good luck!
Ours is a changing pad on top of the dresser in the girls nursery, but we don't use it very often. The girls spend most of the day downstairs in our living room, so I change the girls on the couch and DH changes them on the floor.
We'll probably use it more when the girls are sleeping in the nursery.
Unable to even.

We bought an old dry sink & filled the inside with foam, covered w. change pad cover & then a waterproof change thing. It works great because it's sunken in & I can turn around or go to his closet without worrying about him rolling out!
I actually do the same thing. 1ht
I use it for every. single. diaper.
We've had a couple times where poop shot right out when we took the diaper off, so I would not recommend changing your LO on the bed. If anything, get a changing pad and change on the floor if you really don't have the space.
I use the table if I am upstairs, but if I am downstairs I just change the boys on the floor on a blanket or on the couch. It is a hassel to have to take the boys upstairs to use the changing table. If everything was on the same floor, I would probably use it more.

This is how we do it. We never had a big accident *knock on wood*. I also have another diaper to put under her as soon as the first one comes off. I have this wierd thing.. I can not change a kid sideways.. I have to have their feet facing me.. it is much easier, therefore the changing table is useless to me, I always end up with a crooked diaper. Plus once they get older, they dont want to sit still for anything. So trucking them to the changing table is a hassle..
Yes! (well it's a dresser that has a change pad on it and all his supplies)
I already have to bring around tons of stuff with baby throughout the day if we have to move from one room to the next (pacifier, blankets, itzbeen timer, home phone, cell phone, pillow, bottle of water for me, etc....).
I like that all of his changing supplies are in one spot and nicely organized. It would also kill my back if I had to bend over to change him all the time. Having his change table in his room near his clothing is good too considering that when I change his clothes it's always after a diaper change.
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living my baby you'll be.

I use the Pack and Play and we don't even have the special changing table attachment. When she outgrows the top of the PnP, we will probably change her on the floor.
I have never missed having a changing table.
Never!! We bought a changing pad and put it on top of the dresser to make a changing area, and we never go to the nursery. I change him right on the couch during the day, and at night he sleeps in a pack n play in our room, and I change him on our bed.
We might use it more often when he is actually sleeping in his room, but for now its unneccesary to have a dedicated changing table. If anything just get the pad and put on top of a dresser.
This. We are both tall, so it is easier on our backs not to have to bend over far for all of the changes.
this, but then again, our nursery is up a flight of stairs and we are down stairs all day
