So far we use our changing table every time we change the twins. They are 5 months today! We definitely got a lot of use out of it. I wonder when and if they will get too active for the changing table.
-
DS is 10 months (today) and we still use it for every changing even though he is soooo active, and wants to stand or spin over every other change. We've gotten good at distracting him with various objects, songs, and funny sounds and faces.
-
Even when my kids got active, going to the changing table indicated to them how they needed to behave. Trying to change them on the floor or while playing was a disaster and they just wiggled more.
-
We're still using it at 2 years, 4 months. When she wiggles too much or tries to touch her butt/kick me, I use the clip strap to keep her in place and she immediately stops doing what she was doing because she doesn't like it.
-
My twins turned two in Nov and we still use it
-
My 26 month old still uses it but only on occasion. It's difficult to convince him to change his diaper, and I usually change it on the spot wherever I am in the house.
-
Still using at 17 months - she squirms and tries to get away if I try to change her anywhere else. I just hand her a toy, her toothbrush (at bedtime), or even a tube of diaper cream to keep her occupied.
-
B is 2 and we still use it for almost all of his changes. The only time we don't is to put jammies on after his bath, because we're already all sitting on the floor for stories.
-
Still using it for my 11 mo old.
-
We use our changing pad (on a dresser) still when we are upstairs - DS is 20 months. Otherwise we use a changing pad on the floor.
-
2.5 and counting!
-
Oh, good! Glad I should be able to continue using it!
-
Till she was potty trained
-
2.5 and still using it here too. I imagine we will until she is potty trained! It's so much easier on the back than the floor or bed plus seems more sanitary. She does now like to stand up for us to put the diaper back on.
-
Up until a bit over 2 when she was potty trained
-
We used it until around 13 months, now we wrangle him on the floor.
-
She is so squirmy/rolly on the changing table but we still use it for every change at 10 months, and I predict we will until she's potty trained. As everybody above said, it isn't like she would be any less squirmy if we tried to change her on the floor.
-
I still use it every time at 8 months.
-
I am so impressed with all of you. As soon as DS could roll from back to front at 5 months we never used the changing station again. He was impossible.
-
Until 2 years, 4 months. She was just squirmy and crazy anywhere else. We stopped using it because she just got too long.
-
@T.H.O.U.: ditto! We're at 22 months and still use ours for every change or else she's too distracted.
-
I still use it at over 2.5 years (too fried to try and calculate months). We change him on the floor/couch too if more convienent but every bowel movement gets changed on the table.
-
10 months and we still use it, however she's sooo squirmy I think floor changes will be happening more often. I can't count how many times she's "almost took a dive" if it wasn't for me right there.
-
They still use a changing table at daycare so at almost 2 1/2 we still use it. she's really good about it but we'll also use my bed, the couch or the floor depending on whats handy
-
2.5 and still going
-
We stopped around 11 months because she wouldn't sit still and we didn't want to worry about her rolling off.
-
LO1 got too long around 2.
Lo2 has never been on it at 3 months old because I have since turned it into my laundry folding table and didn't want to give it up! Easier to change her wherever big sis is.
-
Still use it
-
We stopped using the one in his room around 18 months. He was impossible to dress in the morning and he was growing out of it. But we still use the one downstairs at 26 months. He's usually fine during the day doing diaper changes, for whatever reason he's only difficult in the morning.
-
10 months. I prefer to wrangle her on the living room floor. I worry (unnecessarily) about flipping off the dresser.
-
2.5 and still going. As someone else said above, using the change table sets an expectation that it's time to settle down and get dressed. I assume I'll continue to use it until she's able to fully dress herself.
-
My Sweetie is very attached to continuing to use the changing station, but I'm ready to give it up at 9mos. LO stands up on it if he's given more than half a second of not being very firmly held down. I'd rather he did his standing on the floor than 3 ft up!
-
Until he potty trained at 2.5
-
Still use it for our almost-two year old!
-
We have a changing pad on top of her dresser, At 14 mo we still use it! I don't like having my supplies everywhere; and our house is a split so one flight of stairs is only like 5-6 steps. It's not hard to get her up to her room to get changed. I anticipate using it till she can't fit on it and/or she refuse to lay down even with a video.
-
Til probably around 2.5. Now we use it for little brother. I love it!!
-
We used it with our first until about 2 years old. At some point, I used a portable changing pad on the floor when he got too big, then he potty trained from there on.

she's 22 months and we still use it
