when did you stop using the changing table?

minnasmommy

I really never use it. I usually change S on the floor, couch or bed. I am thinking of having DH disassemble the changing table and put it into storage. do you still use yours and how old is your DC? thanks!

we use ours every day - morning and night- in DS's room... he still fits on it length wise- so until he doesn't- i think we'll keep it b/c i prefer to change him up there- than leaning down on the floor.

when we are downstairs we just change him on the couch with a changing pad under his butt.

We converted the changing table to a dresser when he was 7 months old. He was/is such an active and strong kid that it was practically impossible (and dangerous) to change him on an elevated surface. We just use the floor in his room, now.  We practically have to sit on the kid too keep him still.

I still use it for 90% of his diaper changes still. But ours is not just a changing table. It is a chifferrobe that has a ton of storage underneath etc so even after we stop using the top for a changing area we will still use it for the storage purposes.

We still use ours for nearly every diaper change.  I am gonna be sad when she out grows it.  I love having everything within arms reach and not having to bend over or chase her around on the floor.

Kate's changing table is also her dresser, but we still use the changing table part.  She is a mellow kid and doesn't squirm on there much.  In fact, I could probably walk away from her for an hour and still find her lying there when I came back!  We'll use it until she no longer fits length wise (which will be soon.  She's TALL) because she DOES squirm when we try to change her on the couch or floor.  I like the elevated surface and she seems to mellow out up there, like she knows she's up high or something.  She is 17 months.

DS is 19 months. I still use it. It is the only place where he will stay still.

I only use it for drying her off and putting on lotion after baths.

She moves too much for diaper changes there, so besides baths, its mostly just for shelving since we don't have many drawers in her room.

We still use it for every change and DS turned 2 in July.

ps-  DS is really tall, and while he doesn't fit comfortably, it still works. His legs just hang over a little.

i never changed anywhere else...so until potty trained.

I like having everything right there and not having to drag it whereever I want to change.

olsentobe

still use it and ds is 21  months. It is also one of his dressers tho too. I have to say he doesnt lye still so its PITA to change him ANYWHERE lol!!!

We use the one in J's bathroom everyday, in the morning and at night.  In between if we're upstairs during the day.

The other "changing table" is a changing pad on our dining room table (we eat in the kitchen, btw), and we use that with both kids.

we probably stopped around 18 mos... it was just easier to do it wherever we were unless it was poopie.

Ours is on his dresser as well.  It's the only place we change him (we have a one story).  I'll probably use it until he's potty trained.  He's already too long but it still works great.

If we're at home it's the only place I change her ever.  She knows to be still and behave on it even though if we're at other people's houses or out she squirms and moves, so I will probably use it until she's potty trained.  It's also got shelves that we use for a lot of storage, so we'll be keeping it put together even after she's no longer using it for diapers.  It's likely that for getting dressed we'll use it until she's able to dress herself because it's convenient.

I still use mine all the time. It's a dresser/table combo and it's really convenient to just change DS on the table and grab his clothes underneath. I hate trying to make him lay still on the couch or floor. He takes off naked if he's not on the table.

jorie

I think I stopped using mine when DD was like 2 weeks old.  I think they're a pain.  Never used it for #2.

Heidisean

I think we stopped around 12 months old.

Like 3 months ago?  Jude flips and turns during diaper changes and it got waaaaay too dangerous to use it.

MrsCali_Bride

We use ours every single day.  Ours is a changing table/dresser combo unit so it is a permanent piece of furniture in his room.  He doesn't really struggle too much when we put him up there and we usually distract him with a book or our cell phones.  I think he'd be more likely to fuss and squirm to get away if we changed him on the floor.

We use ours for gettng dressed, 90% of diapers, and jammies at night.
