We used it a lot until DS was 9 months old. I'm glad we had it, especially for the storage it provided. Originally, I didn't expect to use it much, but I would absolutely buy another for baby two.</p> <p>If you do decide to buy one, I would go with a cheaper model. While useful, I don't think it's anything that needs to be "top of the line." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-516562 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 19:36:53 +0000 chrispygal 516562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish we had room for the changing table. I would have loved the extra storage space underneath but alas, our room was too small. The dresser has worked out just fine though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-516535 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 19:17:13 +0000 ladyfingers 516535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We wanted a dresser for storage and after everything else we got for the room adding a changing table would have been too crowded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-516117 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 13:56:02 +0000 winniebee 516117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pad on the dresser - I feel like T will soon outgrow that situation altogether - he squirms and flips, etc. so I think in no time I'll be doing all diaper changes on the floor. Our pad is strapped to the dresser as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-516111 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 13:49:26 +0000 autumnlove 516111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: My pad is kinda attached to my dresser but is not very secure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-516098 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 13:36:12 +0000 Meridian 516098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: hrm, thanks for the food for thought! I always wondered if changing pads were somehow secured to the dresser? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-516080 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 13:13:26 +0000 banana 516080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: For me, I love that you can safely strap them in and walk away to grab something or wash your hands. With a dresser, you'd have to install straps on your dresser that will secure the changing pad. Changing tables come with straps installed. I also like the open shelving. Super convenient for accessing stuff. And I like the height of changing tables too. We paid $75 for ours so it was worth it.</p> <p>we used ours until my son was 1.5! and we're using it now with our second baby. so we'll probably get around 3-4 years of use out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-516079 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 13:13:22 +0000 SugarplumsMom 516079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a changing pad on a dresser too and it's really worked out. I wouldn't want it any other way, even if we had the room for a separate changing table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-516016 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 12:14:49 +0000 plum 516016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have a changing table on top of her dresser, but we have used it twice i think in 20+ months and instead always use the bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-515964 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 11:17:24 +0000 Meridian 515964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those who have a changing table and love it, what are the benefits? I was always thinking of putting a changing pad on a dresser to save space, but now I'm second guessing that idea! Our second bedroom/nursery is only 10 x 12... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-515809 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 09:24:08 +0000 SlightFigureOfSpeech 515809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Jenny Lind style changing table that we painted a bright color, and LO loves it. She loves lying on it, probably her favorite spot in the nursery. We also have the crib, I love both pieces! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-515747 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 07:16:59 +0000 lomom 515747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my mom found it at a store going out of business for $30. Otherwise we probably would've just put a pad on the dresser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-515737 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 06:26:05 +0000 yellowbird 515737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't. I put a changing pad on her dresser. We only have a 2 br apartment, so I used the extra space in her room for a full sized bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-515730 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 06:12:11 +0000 honeybear 515730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we had a handful of washable/waterproof mats that we just threw down where ever--usually the bed but also the floor, my lap, etc. I think a towel would work too. We have never had the space for a changing table and I prefer multifunctional furniture since space is at such a premium here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-515714 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 05:05:35 +0000 loveisstrange 515714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We dont have one, just a pad on the dresser. Most of the time, we just change her on the floor anyway. No way am I walking upstairs every time she's dirty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-515710 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 04:58:16 +0000 mediagirl 515710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I'm so glad we have it because I have baskets for diapers, medical supplies, blankets and wipes underneath on the shelves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-515680 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 03:25:16 +0000 tequiero21 515680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't have a changing table... For first few months, used a changing pad on a dresser. Now, they wiggle around so much, I use the changing pad on the floor. I think changing table is not worth it for only a few months of use unless u use it for something else later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-515671 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 03:00:58 +0000 Kemma 515671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kinda - I have a desk-ish piece of furniture that was my Aunt's then my sewing table and we just whacked a changing pad on top of it. It's actually the ultimate in recycling as my Grandfather repurposed it out of a dresser about forty years ago! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-515669 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 02:44:12 +0000 banana 515669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and I love it!! It's one of our most used baby items I much prefer it over a changing pad on top of a dresser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-515502 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 22:41:38 +0000 yoursilverlining 515502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do; it isn't this exact one but looks very much like it<br /> <a href="http://www.wayfair.com/Eden-Baby-Furniture-Nantucket-3-Drawer-Dresser-906-EBF1037.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wayfair.com/Eden-Baby-Furniture-Nantucket-3-Drawer-Dresser-906-EBF1037.html</a></p> <p>very handy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-515440 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 22:03:14 +0000 doodlepoodle 515440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we do and we use it everyday!

I have the matching crib for future use. Actually my mom just dropped off a pink dresser I used at my wedding that I was thinking of converting into a changing table. But I have a changing table similar to the one you posted, just more modern and I don't like the look of it.</p> <p>Yes I am crazy and have bought way too much crap without even being pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-changing-table#post-515347 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:42:27 +0000 autumnlove 515347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a changing pad on LO's dresser and that has been ok but I think I want a designated changing table for Baby 2!</p> <p>Do you have a changing table? Are you happy with it or could you do without it?</p> <p>I kinda like this one in white:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/DaVinci-Jenny-Lind-Changing-Table/dp/B000FT9IOA" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/DaVinci-Jenny-Lind-Changing-Table/dp/B000FT9IOA</a> </p>
