    As Trish suggested, a low set of drawers with a change mat on top would do the job perfectly.

    That's what I used. I had my old desk from my homework days with a padded change mat on the top.

    The desk had a raised edge on both ends so it stopped it slipping away from me but I still only felt safe doing it like that until DD was moving too much as it slipped a bit. (around 7months)

    After then I used the mat on the spare bed in the room and knelt down and found that an ok height. Being on my knees was still way better than using the wrong height.

    I'm a shortie too! My solution was to get a table from Ikea, just a plain pine square one for around $49, whack a coat of vanish on it for spills and poos etc and voila!

    I love it, I have heaps of space on top for wipes, sorbolene, bum cream, hand cream etc as well as the change mat.

    If you are worried about bub rolling off, you can always add some extra wood around the sides or do what I do and put it in a corner.

    Hope that helps & good luck with bub!

    I ended up changing bub on a rug on the floor most of the time and my change table is just a fancy shelf lol

    I'm also 'vertically challenged', and found the Boori changetables to be the perfect height. Would be worthwhile you checking them out I think.

    Me too! We went and bought one the day we brought DS home as we had an unexpected Csection and now I just put all DS clean washing on it and change him on the floor

    Thank you for all your suggestions! Gratefully accepted!

    I have a lot to think about! I have checked the Boori site and they have a nice one that's only 800mm high. Might even do the trip to Sydney to Ikea.

    Thanks again girls!
