Advice please ladies!
I'm not sure whether to get one that doesn't collaspe ie the big wooden ones or plastic ones that are very sturdy or one that does, the canvas X frame types. If you have either can you please give me the pro's and cons for each. TIA Julie |

I have the most wonderful change table it's a changetable/bath on wheels with storage space/shelving and a thick saftey strap that is fully adjustable. I highly recommend it as it was good for me as a CS girl. Olivia is 5 months (today!!) and still fits in the bathtub!!

I've got a personally made one that is wodden and very sturdy. At the moment it is holding a lot of Andrew's stuff on it. I love mine, but if I could get a new one it would have a bath in it. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I've got an X framed one. It does its job but I'm not over the moon about it. It absolutely kills my back so make sure you get one that's suited to your height. I thought being short, I should get the lowest one, but nope. You don't want to be leaning over too much.
ETA: Pro's would be the little storage thingy that runs the length of it. Good to put wipes, lotions, face cloths etc in. Very handy! |

I have a baby love one from BF...but not the big chuncky one but the simple X one....Zaara is nearly one and is 10KG or so and still works fine for us. Zaara grew out of that bath at 3 months tho...how ever the plastic baths that you can buy at BF (the bigger ones)....fit in to the Changing table so we just switched to that. I like my changing table (dont love it) but its sturdy and slim and does not take up tooo much space! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I had a collapsible canvas X frame one (Kingston) with Maya, did the job and she was able to use it until about 18 mths when she figured out how to climb off it. The storage pockets were great, and I used the shelf underneath to store nappies.
I've bought a big chunky plastic one for the twins tho with a bath in it as I figure I'll be using it twice as much. Plus it has way more storage space for wipes, nappies, wraps etc. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I have never used one! No room for one here, and i didn't see the point.. Ella has always been a mover, and I wouldn't want to risk having things like creams and wipes somewhere where she could reach them. Not to mention that you can get distracted and turn around for a second, and then have them fall off.. I know we all say we'll never do it, but you never know.. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

OK thanks ladies, that has helped............Not that I know which one to get still. I think I'll take Baalambs advice and see which one suits my height, and then go from there.

We've got a change table/bath one...can't remember the brand though, it's got material shelves underneath for storage which is great and plastic slots on the side for putting in the powders and bath stuff etc.
I find it great especially as I can't be bending etc for a while yet with the c-section. Plus I've always had a bit of a weak back so another reason why I love something at a good height for me! ------------- http://lilypie.com">
