Anti roll Changing mat Baby - The Wriggler Portable Travel pad with Straps

Product Information

Material: What is it made from? Whilst cotton can be soft and gentle against your baby’s skin, wipe-down fabrics are far easier to keep clean, with the ability to simply wipe down after use. Some changing mats are relatively thin, whilst others are padded or cushioned and may even include a small support pillow for additional comfort. Whilst comfort for your baby is important, the thinner fabrics are often more lightweight and tend to fold down more flat - handy if you’re particularly limited on space. Changing units are handy standalone pieces of baby furnituredesigned to give you a convenient place to change your baby. You won’t have to bend down or squat over your baby and they will usually have extra features like drawers, storage units and even baby baths incorporated. But perhaps more important than the frustration of the diaper change tantrum (which is real!), is the issue of safety. Injuries and hospitalisations are not something that we ever want to think about with our little ones...even mentioning the words elicits feelings of panic and worry. Having said that, arming ourselves with the knowledge of which simple daily activities and household objects can put our babies at risk ensures that we can prevent the majority of these injuries from ever occurring. The fact is, for children less than 1 year of age, falls account for over 50% of admissions to emergency departments(CDC.com Childhood Injury Report). Falls from changing tables, beds and sofas are among the most common furniture from which they fall. Last year, a video of a brother catching his baby brother falling off a changing table went viral. His mother released the video to raise awareness of the dangers of changing tables to other parents.

The clean hands changing pad is designed to mainly keep your baby’s hands secured as you change their diaper. The sides fold up to create a redirection barrier, which helps to keep your child’s curious hands away from the mess. This changing pad can also be used to hold a few diaper change essentials while folded to keep them easily accessible when it’s time for the diaper change. This changing pad is comfy and easy to clean.

The pad is free of phthalates, formaldehyde, GMOs, latex, soy, vinyl, polyurethane foam, and flame retardants, all of which are potentially irritating and possibly dangerous. Plus, it meets eco-friendly and organic standards set by GREENGUARD and the Global Organic Textile Standard. Chances are, if you’ve arrived at this article, you’re considering an anti-roll changing mat for your little one. Whether you’re an expectant parent who wants the best for when your little one arrives, a mum whose toddler hates nappy changes, or you’ve had a near miss with your baby almost rolling off a couch or a changing table (me, on two separate occasions!), then you’ve come to the right place. As a mum to two great kids and an educational psychologist, I’ve been through all of these stages at different times!

Buggy clips: If you plan to put your bag on your buggy, shop for stroller-friendly options with clips for easy attachment. Toddler changing mats are a godsend when it comes to nappy changes. Diaper changes for toddlers are a struggle most parents face. Children become increasingly mobile and inquisitive at around this age, which makes it hard for them to lie still. There are many types of changing mats that aim to solve different types of issues unique to toddlerhood. Some are specific to the infant years or toddler years, while some can grow with your baby. Changing mats come in different materials to serve different purposes; PVC mats are waterproof and easy to clean while foam mats are more comfortable. Some mats combine both materials where they have a foam core and PVC coating to ensure both comfort and leak-protection. Must be used on the floor (though changing on the floor is paediatrician recommended once babies learn to roll due to risk of falls from changing tables) It is on the more expensive side but if you value sustainability and want to support a smaller independent brand, it’s a great choice.With foldable, portable and wedge options, choosing the best changing mats can take time too. Not to mention all of the different colours and designs to try and match up this must-have nursery accessory to your décor and changing table unit! Changing bags come in a variety of styles and sizes. With lots to fit in, it can be tempting to go for the largest option you can find. But you’ll need to consider if it’s too heavy to lift, especially as you may be pushing or carrying your little one too.

Newborns can require a diaper change as many as 12 times a day, so a changing pad is a nursery must-have. This handy piece of equipment should ensure that diaper changing time is as safe and comfortable as possible for your little one. The best changing pad is one that's easy to use, easy to clean, and fits well into your space. The Redirection barrier fits around children up to 22 inches wide around the lower chest. This means your child may outgrow it before they get to the potty training stage. On top of that, slightly older children can easily break free of the velcro. This changing pad is not a restraint system and therefore does not prevent your child from rolling. The best you can do is distract your child by attaching toys to the barrier. Some changing units – also known as baby changing stations – have their own removable changing mats while others might need a separate changing mat (it’s important to ensure that they fit correctly). Some parents also enjoy the convenience of a changing unit combined with the versatility of a changing mat and use both. What types of changing mats are available?
