I'm excited that this actually worked!!

If we are at home, we always use the changing table. At my mom's, it's wherever we can...on the floor, on the automan (sp?), etc. At restaurants and stores...I pray they have a not too bad changing table in the bathroom.

Caroline moves too much not to use the changing table and the strap. I use to think there was no need for the buckle but now it's a must!

I put occasionally because we do most of her changes downstairs on the floor. Her "changing table" is really a changing pad on top of her dresser. I use that twice a day, when she wakes up and after her bath. DH uses it more than me - he changes every diaper up there on the weekends. It is just easier for me to pull out the diaper caddy and put her on the floor than to try to get her upstairs every time.

If we are home yes, at someone elses home I use their bed, when we are out I use the changing tables in the rr.

We don't have an actual changing table - we have a pad ontop of his dresser. So, I put "No, we never had one". BUT - if having a changing pad = a changing table, then my answer should be "Yes, we use is all the time."

I change him on our bed or on the floor. Unless it's really messy I don't even use a changing pad and have had no issue.

I consider that a changing table since that's what we have.

We use ours for every diaper change when we're at home and we always have. When we moved into our new house in January, I thought I might put a diaper caddy in the living room (since the bedrooms are upstairs), but I find I prefer to just take her upstairs where I have everything I might need.

We used to have on the dresser but G moves too much now so the pad is on the floor. It fits nicely under the dresser and we just pull it out when we need it.

Our changing table is a pad on top of a dresser. I have to change him on there he gets too distracted if I change him on the floor

We do use the changing table most time...but it is really a dresser. But it is our changing table, so I guess it counts.

MrsLindinger0905 · March 2013

We use it most of the time, when she wakes up in the morning and from naps, and before bed at night. It's on the second floor of our house and there's always at least one diaper change per day that happens on the floor of our living room.

I would go BSC without my changing table. I have used it for virtually every diaper change at home since she was born. When she's not on the table, it's like all hell breaks loose. When she is on the table, she seems to "know" what I am wanting her to do so she is at least somewhat better about going crazy with movement. When I have to change her on the floor at church or at someone's house, etc, she is HORRIBLE. I am out of breath by the time I'm done changing her. And it's 10x worse if I have to change her clothes like that too.

I ADORE my changing table. I will find a way to change her on that thing until she is potty trained, I swear.

The only thing we ever had was the "changing table" fixture on the PNP which was worthless. We used to change him on our bed but switched to the floor when he was around 5 months old. I hate when I have to use a changing table [like if we're out] because I never got used to doing it sideways! I've seen corner changing tables where you're still facing the baby as opposed to beside him, and I'd love to have one of those for the next kiddo.

Yes b/c we cloth diaper so our stash and wet bags are all situated in one place.

Our dresser came with a changing table thing on top of it. I stopped using that as a changing table MONTHS ago. I now use it for storage/decorations.

I am amazed that some of you are still able to put your kids on those things.

I pretty much change all of his diapers while he stands. He rolls back over the second I lay him down (unless he's half asleep)

BrownMa · March 2013

We use it after his bath, I apply lotion and diaper on then. But usually it's on the living room floor.

Hayley's changing table has a max weight of 30 pounds - and since she's 6 away from that - I'm afraidd of it cracking (it's cheap wood). The thing has shaken back and forth since she was 9 months. The top is for stuff/decorations/stuffed animals and the middle shelf is where I kept her diapers/wipes anyway - so I change her next to it and can still easily get to my stash.
