dresser/changer question from 1st timer

Illinigirl07

I'm wanting to buy a dresser to use as a changing table with the pad on top.  How deep should the dresser be for it to be safe for the baby?  Also, anyone recommend good height?

The baby boutique we have suggests using dressers as changing tables, that way they can grow with your child. One brand they carry is Pali, and the one we would have chosen for a dresser/changer is 50 x 34 x 20 (Width x Depth x Height).

Hope that helps

I Just made sure the height of the dresser was comfortable to me...I stood in front of it for a long time pretending to change a baby. HA!

We made sure it was deep enough to accomodate a changing pad plus a few inches on either side. I can't remember the changing pad measurements though.

We are just using a standard dresser.  Most of the changing pads now come equipped with straps that can be screwed to the back of the dresser.
