changing table pad versus changing table topper

So I pretty much planned on just getting a changing table pad and putting it on top of any old dresser for the nursery. Then last week we went to PBK and I saw these changing table toppers which were pricey ($150) and confusing to me.

Is anyone else just planning on putting a pad on top of a dresser without any sort of special changing table or changing table topper?

That is all we did. 

Our changing pad has no skid stuff on the bottom and it doesn?t move at all.  I actually had to pull hard to reposition it on top of the buffet we are using as our changing table.

I have successfully changed 15.5 months worth of diapers on just a dresser and changing pad. I would not waste my money on a specific changing table accessory like that.

this is exactly what I thought! thanks for confirming. My mommy fears of the whole pad sliding off of a dresser started to catch up with me

I plan on using a pad on a dresser

We bought furniture that converts and is not a special "changing table" by itself.  We only used a pad and it never was a problem.

I love PBK, but they rip you off with a lot of things!

My MIL bought our furniture and insisted upon the wood topper for our existing dresser, but we were planning originally on just going with a pad. To be honest, my SIL used to change her kids on the dining room table with a pad (which they never used anyway).  The "just a pad" ones I saw at the store today actually had tethering straps you could screw in to the dresser back if you wanted to, in addition to the non-skid stuff.

I'm planning on just putting a pad on top of a dresser. The PBK topper is a total unnecessary rip off!
