Change table- Yes or No?

[fionas]

I have a dodgy back, pelvis, hip you name it and I've found there are pros and cons. I've always used a change mat on top of chest of drawers and put nappy stuff in top drawer. Hate the open shelves of most change tables.

Definitely easier when they are babies as you're standing up straight.

Not so easy when they're toddlers and you have to lift them which hurts my back. I tend to only do that for poos. Otherwise it's easier to just use pull ups and change her standing up.

I havent used a change table in ages. We just change where ever. I honestly found ours to be a waste of space. I have a caddy for the nappies and wipes but that is about it.
