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!

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

I did when she started getting wiggly. But now she just turns over and crawls under it so it's useless.

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!

@autumnlove: its harder there because then she REALLY wants to crawl away.

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.

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

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)

No, I've never used it either. Didn't want to bother and didn't think it would help much.

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.

We never use it now at 3.5 months but good to know that we will have to start using it soon!

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.

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.

Never at home because we change LO on top of the dresser and I always keep one hand on her. I do when we are out and I have use one of those plastic shelf-like ones.
