We will barely have any room in our condo for a crib let alone for a changing table. If we had the house we plan on buying if and when the condo sells, then I would consider it. right now it is a no... plus my sister who had 3 kids said she barely used hers.
I am not getting one. I was talking to one of my friends who had a baby in march and she got the crib with the changing table attatched to it and she said she hates it. She only really used it when the baby was 0-3 months.
We're doing a low dresser with a changing pad on top. That way when we don't have need for the changing aspect of it, its still a useful piece of furniture.
We decided not to go that route. We got a full size dresser and will use a changing pad on top of it while we need it, then the dresser can grow with him!
we are getting one. her room is really big, so we have room. and i think we are getting a tall dresser, not a short one. i also want room to put baskets with diapers, etc... so they will be on the shelves on the changing table.
The nursery is pretty small, so we decided not to get a changing table. We got a tall chest of drawers and plan on using the diaper changing station on the pack-n-play.
We went with a long dresser and have the changing pad on top of it, we figured we would rather spend more money on a piece of furntiure that the babies could actually use when they are older too.
I had one with my dd, and never ever used it, it was a total waste, since I always changed her on the floor. Eight years later, with ds, I decided to do a low dresser with a changing pad on top, and we used it ALL the time for him. Now that he's two, I rarely use it anymore, wo do a lot of on the floor changes, but I am keeping it up for the new baby.
I'm getting a changing table/dresser combo. I can see myself being one that changes my kid whereever but if that's the case, it's not a waste because I have the dresser. I just like it because it's part of the set.
