we got a sturdy 2nd hand dining table, a great big vinyl table cloth, and one of those cheap $25 bookshelves (50cm x 120cm x 30cm) which as have on its side at the back of the table. everything is really easily within reach, but still has its own spot.
so we stack nappies, wipes, wraps, etc in the shelves, talk, sudocrem, cotton wool wet on top, and we use the table for changing and bathing etc.
ended up cheaper than buying a change table, is the perfect height for your back, and when we don't need it as a change table, we can use it as a desk or give it away as a normal dining table, etc
Hmmmm, I'm interested in this one as well - with DD I never had a change table, just changed her on the floor, bed, my lap etc. But as my DH keeps pointing out quite gleefully, I'm not 21 anymore - so am thinking a change table might be a good idea.
I did see one that is a chest of drawers with a swing out change table part so you can stand front on - anyone used one of these before?
We used ours with DD till she TT, then with DS till about 12 months (Same time DD tt), as he wiggled to much on it..
Our beds are quite high though, so we don't have to bend as much as some do to use the bed.
The thing I would suggest though is having a draw underneath for creams, wipes, as these were a magnet for both children once they started crawling. That is the biggest regret about the change table I bought, not having secure storage of those items.
