Decent, not expensive changing table - we can’t just use the floor

[ActonBell]

Looking for a changing table that doesn’t cost the earth. We can’t just change baby on the floor because my husband is disabled and kneeling down is a real issue for him.

We had an IKEA table for no 1 but found that it had a fair few crevices that did not make it easy to clean. Got rid of that once DS was a toddler as we have had a long journey getting to the point of having another baby.

Please help me out - I can’t spend hundreds on a changing table! At the same time DS was an extremely frequent and… ahem… prolific nappy filler so I’m trying to prepare for the same! We need something that’s up to the job. Thank you!

Definitely try Ebay. We got a Mamas and Papas cot and change table for £50

Just use a mat on the top of normal drawers, choose ones the best height for you.

I use this one^ not too expensive and easy to put together with the help of a YT vid. It's also very sturdy and a good height too.

If your husband is able to sit on the bed to change your little one, this one may be a cheaper alternative^ I also have this one and you can just wipe with an antibacterial wipe if any poo gets on it or anything of the sort.
Hope either of these help you guys

We use Ikea hemnes chest of drawer with Mat ontop. Perfect height and lots of storage

I got one from Facebook marketplace for £10 and it's amazing! Definitely worth checking there

Can you change over your knee?

I have a very big toddler who hates nappy changes but still put him across my knee for changing wether he likes it or not.

I'm amazed mums no longer do it nowadays, when it was all the rry nappies it was the usual way to change.
