Change Tables! Too many options!

[Bathsheba]

True about closed drawers BW (that's what ours has too)... and you'll probably find that once bubs knows how to get in that draw you'll be wanting a high shelf nearby. I bought a small decorative shelf from Bunnings and installed it using 2 picture hooks above the change table at that point. I just needed somewhere to pop the nappy rash cream and pins... plus a few special ornaments.

high shelves are good. we didnt get one in tim and hence got a nursery and baby redecorated in sudocream. I didnt know you could get that much in the normal sized tub.

Thanks all!

butterfly_warrior - good point, I can put mine right near the door too for more room. I think I have made up my mind! Chest of draws it is

Ahhhhh! Yes, our first child had Sudocrem Play! it was quite spectacular. I learnt my lesson very well. Hint: avoid tall shelving units in nursery rooms because toddlers and babys often will try to pull themselves up on them or try to climb them creating a big safety hazard. Ideally buy a shelf that can be put up high without any nearby access. I hung a small wall clock above my shelf too, it looked really sweet.

ETA: How high is the chest of drawers? My change table with 2 drawers is as high as the top of my pelvis, the change surface is equal to my crotch (LOL couldn't think of a better way of saying it) ...any higher would be uncomfortable I would think.

Hi Bathsheba. Im pretty sure it would be about my hip height. Will have to go back and have a good look and feel. Thanks for that note

Ours is a 4 drawer chest - perfect height for me to change Samuel with no (or very little) bending over. DH is quite tall and has a slightly wonky back, so the less bending for him, the better. He's fine with the height of the chest, too. KingParrot do a 3 drawer chest, which would be lower - didn't like the feel of bending over to do a nappy change on that one at all!

I have an Infa one where the bath slides out from under the change table.
It is brilliant. I will be using it again for Bumpty.
