I'm curious too! I want to ditch ours so bad but it still gets used occasionally.

M is 2 and we've been using the changing pad on the floor so we could move the big dresser (our changing table) into the new baby's room.

Three months. I just preferred changing her wherever we were. I had a changing pad in the living room and changed her on another pad on the day bed in her room.

We never had one! We've always kept her changing pad on the end of our bed, and now on the end of the twin in her room. Saves on our limited space. I can't wait until she's potty trained and I can ditch the pad.

With DD1, we used it until about 18 months; with DD2, that thing was ditched by about six weeks! DD2 is much squirmier than DD1 ever was!

18 months maybe. He just got too big for it. We change his night diaper on the floor now. It's so much easier. I still keep diapers, undies, and pjs on the changing table shelves though.

We've never used a changing table. We just change our kids wherever we're at in the house on a blanket or something. (We keep diapers in bins in a few easy-to-grab places around our home.)

We still change her on the tabletop changer in the nursery. 18 months

We stopped when we moved him to his big boy room because the dresser stayed in the nursery. I wanted to make it easier to associate the bathroom with his diaper changes so we started changing him on the rug in the bathroom. I keep the diapers in there and we have his little potty in there too, so eventually when we start really potty training we can do everything in one place. It's kind of a pain for me to get down on the floor but I like saying "let's go to the bathroom" when it's time to change his diaper. This started at 19 months.

we still use it (some) at 2.75 yo. She is now in her "big girl" room but the changing pad is still on the dresser in the "baby" room (keep all diapers in there too) - trying to give her the idea diapers are for babies (not working yet!). We only really use it for #2 diapers and do all the #1 diapers standing up wherever now.
What's funny is that baby brother is coming in Jan and she already tells me he can't use her changing table. sigh . . .

We still use it at 2.5 for all diaper changes. I think he'd be a crazy child on the floor trying to roll away. The height helps to keep him contained. We'll use it till he's potty trained probably.

We had one set up in our room when LO was born but I think we used it about 5 times. She decided not to sleep in our room and there was no space in hers. She's always changed on the floor or a bed.

Still using it at 20 months. I'd assume we'll use it until she's done with diapers. It's easier for me to stand and change her and she's usually less likely to try and scoot away because there's less room.

DS is 17 months and I don't think we'll stop until whenever he's potty trained! Changing him on the floor is a disaster because he constantly tries to crawl away, but on the changing table (which is actually just a changing pad on top of his dresser) he stays put.

LO is almost 3 but we still have it on top of her dresser and change her into pjs up there since she still wears diapers overnight.

Still using it at 20 months. We plan to continue until potty training.

We stopped using it at 5/6 months. I just found it easier to change her on the bed or on the floor.

still using it at 21 months! she knows it's diaper time when she's up there.

Still use it everyday for LO 2- 18 months. Still use it occasionally for LO 1- 2.75 yrs old.

We never had one! When she was tiny we just changed her on the changing area on the pack n play until she got too big for the newborn insert & now it's just wherever were at!

We still use our changing pad on the dresser at 20 months! Especially pregnant, I can't imagine having to get down on the floor to change him. I'd never be able to get back up!

I still use the changing pad on top of her dresser every day. She's 2!

we stopped after about 6 months. we found it easier to lay him on the floor.

We are still using it at 2, but we change him other places as well. I was thinking of ditching it but it's convenient with all the changing supplies in the top drawer.

Still using it at just shy of 2. We have a changing table downstairs in our family room and on top of his dresser in his room. I can't imagine the back pain I would have if I was changing him on the floor all of the time.

Never used one - we have baby changing stations in the den, bedroom, and upstairs. I found it easier to just change then wherever we are.

We still use it now at 15 months! We've had our moments of her trying to turn, but I know that would happen no matter where I change her, and I prefer to keep all the diapering supplies in one place, rather than all over the house--just for my own piece of mind!

Wow! I'm envious of everyone that got so much use of out theirs! Our LO was way too much of a squirmer and escape artist, so we stopped using ours probably before even 6 months old.

When he potty trained just before he turned 2. It's a dresser, so we just took the pad off.
ETA: We have a one story house and his room is very close to the main living area, so it wasn't a big deal to change him in there every time.

Still using it at 21 months. When we're downstairs I just change her on the floor, but upstairs I use her changing pad on the dresser. Easier for me, and easier to keep her contained

We actually never bought one - I had a changing pad that I used, but never a changing table.
