Product Information

It is on the more expensive side but if you value sustainability and want to support a smaller independent brand, it’s a great choice. As well as being the ideal place for changing your baby’s nappy, a baby change mat has many other potential uses. This is because it provides a comfortable, safe and easy to clean place where you can interact with your baby and carry out tasks including: The clean hands changing pad is designed to mainly keep your baby’s hands secured as you change their diaper. The sides fold up to create a redirection barrier, which helps to keep your child’s curious hands away from the mess. This changing pad can also be used to hold a few diaper change essentials while folded to keep them easily accessible when it’s time for the diaper change. This changing pad is comfy and easy to clean. The surface itself of these PU foam changing mats has some anti-roll properties as it’s less slippery than the PVC covering and can keep the little one from squirming too much. Added to this, the nature of the material means parents find them more comfortable next to their little ones’ skin as they are soft to touch and the foam doesn’t get too cold so there’s no need for changing mat covers, which can get messy and be difficult to clean! Until your little one becomes potty trained, they will need their diaper changed upwards of 3,500 times. So investing in a changing pad that saves you time (a pad that is easy to clean) and money (one secure enough to lay on top of any surface, meaning you can forgo buying a dedicated changing table), could be a good idea. What’s more, investing in a changing pad that stands the test of time means that you have the option of using it for more than one child.
