What comes after the changing pad?

    Seriously? I buy diapers a size up and change less often (fortunately DD doesn't rash easily).

    As others said, I try to distract my little ninja with toys or my phone, check the contents of the diaper before changing, and have a handful of wipes ready. I often allow her one fake "escape" once her bum is clean before getting a new one on her in crawling/standing position. We change on the floor exclusively, and have been for a looooong time now - a changing table wouldn't have worked from about 4 months (rolling) onward.

    @PinkElephant: hahaha so generous with the fake escape!

    Still using ours at 25 months- she's never been a problem while changing her diaper though.

    Depends on the kid. The floor or some sort of protection on a bed or couch all work well.

    I still use it at 1 year. She does try to squirm off but I can usually get her under control by giving her something she is not supposed to have (like tube of lotion or baby clothes hanger). It is 10x worse to try and change her on the floor because she will get away. I will get the clothes and diaper off of her standing but I can't get the diaper on without laying her down.

    C is almost 3, and we have used her changing pad every diaper change at home.

    Depending on how badly he's squirming I just change on the floor or on my bed.

    Changing pad on our bed with a chux pad underneath and the seatbelt buckled at the arms (above the elbow).

    Used the changing pad for just about every change until she potty trained at 2.5. That way if it was messy it was contained to that one area. She got used to it and MUCH less squirmy.

    Oh we change our DS anywhere flat. Couch, bed, floor etc. unless it's poop. That we still change at the changing pad where all the supplies are.
