Too big for the changing table?

starswinger

It says once they are 30 inches that they cannot use the changing table. My LO is 29.5 inches already. Anyone else have this issue?

Really? I didn't know there was an actual size limit. I'll be using mine until she physically too big to fit anymore. lol

Don't have one..our munchkin gets changed on the floor or on the bed on a towel.  Even if we had one I wouldn t use it now, it's like changing a diaper on a worm nowadays .. soon as you get the diaper off he is flipped over and doing a runner.

It is a length limit because the physical dimensions of the table are only 30 inches long so he won't clear it from head to food so his feet would have to be in the air to change him.

I'm just surprised they put an actual length limit on it. I must not have read any of the paperwork that came with mine. haha.

Feet up in the air isn't the worst thing in the world. You have to lift their feet up anyway. So I would probably just keep using it. I hate getting down on the floor to change DD so will be avoiding that for as long as possible.

My son is 32 inches long and we're still using the table. He never lies still on his back anymore so his legs are either in the air when he's kicking around or I'm holding them to change so the table length is less of an issue. The only time I really have a problem is when I try to get him into footie pajamas because its hard to squeeze him into a one piece in that small area. So, for jammies, we take it to the floor now!

We just did the changing pad on the long dresser. My issue is that his long little legs keep kicking my basket of diapers and wipes now.

This. And when I think there's enough distance between DS and the baskets, he flips and wiggles his way closer. I wonder if he's doing it on purpose sometimes.

I plan on using the table as long as possible.  I've gotten really good at changing diapers backwards when she flips over onto her knees and when she's standing up on the table.  It's more crying and screaming and struggling than it's worth to keep putting her back down, as long as I can work around her and she's safe we'll use the table.
