I have an idiotic question...

SouthernBellelovesaYankee

I put the changing table pad on the changing table last night...is it supposed to just lay there? Can I secure it somehow?

I envisioned so many things last night..

FWIW, we have the changing table/dresser combo.

Not a dumb question....let's see what the answers are since I am curious too.

Put that rubber non slip stuff made by rubber made under it.

I think some have a strap thing that holds them on, if not maybe get some of that grippy shelf liner stuff so it doesn't slide around?!?

Ours just sits there.

i think u can get straps for them but what works well is the mat that you purchase for the utensil drawers- it has the rubber and keeps stuff from sliding- i used to be a nanny and this worked excellent- it never slid

I saw some mention somewhere of a strap. I'm not sure if the strap is to hold the kid down or hold the pad to the changing table. I have obviously not done any research in this department, I will assign it to DH.

sometimes they have a kind of 'tray' lip around the top of the change table... I guess yours doesn't. You could always try double-sided foam tape/carpet tape. I would be concerned as well.

I haven't done this yet but I heard the pad has a strap to attach to the back of the dresser.

I looked at it, no ties, long straps or buckles..

I'd damn hot glue that thing down if need be!

Ours just sits there. But the table has a kind of rim thing around it so it cant really go anywhere.

The one I have has a strap with a buckle to hold it down. (It was a hand-me-down from a coworker.)

My sister just puts the non slip shelf liner under the pads, and swears it's stable enough (she's on her 3rd kid and no one has slipped off yet...)

I wondered that too, but when we wondered around BRU that was how there's were. They put those rubber not slip pads under them.

That's what I was talking about.

then you can't change the cover when he poops or pees on it!  Which, will, undoubtably happen

Ours just sits there.  It never moved at all with DD and I never had anything extra attaching it.  Although, once she started rolling and wiggling more (around 3 months), I stopped using the change pad and just changed her diaper in her crib (way easier).

Make sure you get a changing pad with straps...when the changing table/dresser was delivered, they screwed the straps into the back of the dresser.
