I do when we are out and I have use one of those plastic shelf-like ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186746 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 08:22:11 +0000 MrsHotDog 186746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't because it won't help. She squirms so much all the time that it takes five minutes to change a diaper. It is so ridiculous. I tried changing her on the floor but it makes it so nch worse because her desire to crawl away is 10x worse. I would have better luck wrestling an alligator. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186740 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 08:18:44 +0000 pelikila 186740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've used it a handful of times. Usually if I need to poke my head outside the nursery door and get my husband's attention I'll strap my son in so I can walk those two steps and walk back but it is just far enough I can't keep my hand on him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186692 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 07:13:40 +0000 Sammyfab 186692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never use it now at 3.5 months but good to know that we will have to start using it soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186690 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 07:10:18 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 186690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186683 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 07:01:03 +0000 yin 186683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only used it a handful of times when I wanted to wash my hands after a diaper change when my LO was a few months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186643 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 05:15:03 +0000 Andrea 186643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I've never used it either. Didn't want to bother and didn't think it would help much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186611 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 01:44:01 +0000 Boogs 186611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope never used it, I actually cut it off when we bought it, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186580 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 00:08:51 +0000 sandy 186580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband uses it...it is so cute bc she just holds onto the safety strap and wiggles her legs...she doesn't try to escape (at least for now) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186564 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 22:58:17 +0000 Mrsbells 186564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have a changing table that has a strap attached and yes I use it because even though my baby is only 7 weeks she is very strong and active </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186559 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 22:48:59 +0000 Sweet T 186559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never have. I wouldn't leave him on the changing table when he was younger and now that he's older and super wiggly, we do most of his changes on the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186462 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 20:06:25 +0000 heffalump 186462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: its harder there because then she REALLY wants to crawl away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186452 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 20:01:37 +0000 autumnlove 186452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: yeah, gonna start changing her on the floor! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186449 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:59:02 +0000 skibobrown 186449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet, but I'll probably start using it once she starts having more mobility. I don't want to chance her taking a tumble! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186439 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:53:47 +0000 heffalump 186439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did when she started getting wiggly. But now she just turns over and crawls under it so it's useless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186428 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:50:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 186428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did for the first few months. Since he was so little and never moved I'd strap him so I could wash my hard. Now that he kicks all the time and is close to rolling over, we don't leave him on it, so we don't use it anymore </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186424 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:49:14 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 186424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did... but yes they move fast after 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-safety-strap-on-your-changing-pad#post-186419 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:48:16 +0000 autumnlove 186419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you use a changing pad, do you use the safety strap? I didn't for the first 4 months but now I use it everytime. LO moves too fast and can tumble off the dresser! </p>
