Crib/Changer Combo Question

in 2nd Trimester

Of course, the crib that I want is backordered until the end of October!  As a Plan B, I'm looking at this one (see below link).  What are your thoughts of the changing table?  The other one that I wanted had a little higher sides and back to the table and this one just seems a little more dangerous for bonking heads.  What are your thoughts & experiences?

    Personal opinion, but changing tables are pretty unnecessary. Your baby will outgrow that and you'll be stuck with an extra piece of furniture (that you paid for). The photos show it being used as a table, but it looks out of place to me.

    I'd look into a low dresser that you can just put the changing pad on -- no bonking heads issues there either. We still use this for DD.

    We used our changing table until DS started rolling and then we moved to the floor where we change is diaper now.  Before we stopped using the changing table, it was really handy.  We used it now for storage (diapers, wipes, etc.) on top, and DS puts some of his toys and books on the bottom shelves.  Ours is a separate unit.  I don't think I would have liked the attached changing table.  We're about to move it out of DS's room to move into the nursery for the new baby.  We would not have been able to do that if it were attached to his crib.

    I JUST stopped using my changing table as DD is not potty trained, but I loved having mine personally.  That said, I think the ones that are attached to the cribs are a bad idea.  If your kiddo is a climber, he/she can climb from the crib to the changing table and jump/fall down.  I am not a fan of the attached combo like that.

    I actually like that one better when separated into crib and nightstand. As one unit it just looks like a HUGE piece of furniture to me.

    The book Baby Bargains has an interesting thought about crib/changing table combos: the changing table gives older babies a place to climb out of the crib and a potentially higher distance to fall.

    I'm so glad I bought that book!  (and haven't even opened it!!!)  I think I'm leaning away from the combo now, as I found a cute and reasonably priced set at JcPenny's.
