Change baby comfortably

For several years now, the changing top has become essential in many nurseries. Practical, it helps avoid cluttering space, provides a suitable and comfortable area for changing baby, while also limiting expenses. In short, this element, sometimes little known to soon-to-be parents, definitely deserves to be discovered when optimally preparing the nursery for your future child.

What is a removable changing table?

A changing top for dresser or removable changing unit is a board equipped with edges, exactly like the device found on top of a changing table. Most often, it's a wooden changing top. It attaches to the top of a dresser to create a space for changing baby, while maintaining the original function of the furniture and access to the storage drawers.

To benefit from this type of device, you need a dresser suitable for a changing top and the changing top from the same range. Indeed, it's important to choose furniture and an element that are designed to work together. This ensures a perfect aesthetic result and proper installation of the changing top on the dresser. This type of clever solution can be found from many brands specializing in children's furniture.

Furthermore, the changing top can be removed when the child no longer needs diaper changes. The dresser returns to its original state. This solution allows for significant savings and maintains a matching bedroom set throughout the years.

What's the difference between a changing top and a changing table?

To understand the advantages of a changing top, it's important to grasp the difference with a changing table.

A changing table is a standalone piece of furniture that includes a changing surface and usually storage shelves for baby products and diapers. It finds its place in the baby's room for example and requires sufficient space in addition to existing furniture. Once baby no longer needs diaper changes, the entire piece of furniture needs to be removed from the room.

The changing top is just an element that will be removed from the dresser. It is therefore often more economical, more eco-responsible and less space-consuming. In either case, you'll just need to add a changing mat and a changing mat cover.

What other furniture can you find in a baby's room?

Beyond the dresser equipped with a changing top or the changing table, there are many other pieces of furniture that can be installed in the baby's room.

Storage

Storage elements are very important if you want the baby's room to remain practical to use and well organized. In addition to the dresser, you can opt for a children's wardrobe which will also be very practical for organizing all your child's small clothes. You can also add some storage elements dedicated to books and toys such as chests and baskets, or even a small bookshelf for example.

The baby bed

Regarding baby beds, there are many options to consider depending on your preference and available space:

  • The barred crib: The barred crib is the most classic format for a baby bed. It is used from 6 months up to about 2 years of age.
  • The convertible baby bed: The convertible baby bed is most often a barred crib that transforms into a child's bed. This allows the furniture to be used for several years, making it a more economical and eco-responsible solution.
  • The combination baby bed: This bed combines both a barred crib with other furniture such as storage elements or a changing table. The combination baby bed is particularly suitable for small rooms (more advice for furnishing a baby room under 10 m2). It can also be convertible.
