Baby Changing

When it comes to setting up a changing station, we’ve got some inspo to help you create a space that is delightful to be in, even during those 3 am feeds. Think of an oasis that is functional, inspirational, and makes day-to-day life that little bit easier.

You will be changing your little one’s nappy roughly six to ten times a day for the next two years (that’s an average of 5000-7000 nappies!!!), so let's make sure the space works for you. Whether you're kitting out a full nursery or just need something that fits in a corner of a small apartment, here's everything you need to build a baby changing station that keeps you calm and bub safe.

Everything You Need for Baby Changing

A baby changing station is really just a system. It’s somewhere stable to lay your bub down, something soft underneath them and everything within arms reach. Get those three things right and the rest is just personal preference.

We've pulled together the full range so you can build a set-up that suits your space, your budget and your particular baby's talent for escape artistry.

From the change table itself to the tiny things you don't think about until you need them, here's what's worth having on hand.

Baby Changing Tables

A dedicated change table is still the gold standard for a reason. It's built to the right height so you're not hunched over, it's stable and most come with rails to stop an increasingly mobile baby from making a break for it. Our range includes:

• Changing tables with drawers underneath for nappies and clothes
• Full changing station dressers that double as nursery storage
• Compact nursery changing tables designed for smaller rooms
• Childcare change tables with extra bench room and easy-clean surfaces

Baby Changing Mats & Pads

The mat is doing more work than it gets credit for. It's the difference between a comfortable, contained changing tray and bub sliding around on a hard surface. Look for a change table dresser topper or a stand-alone mat with raised sides and a wipeable, waterproof cover. If you're using the top of a regular dresser as a changing table and storage combo, a good mat with a non-slip base is genuinely non-negotiable.

Baby Changing Accessories

There is a huge squad of things that can support your baby changing journey. We’re talking nappy caddies, wipe warmers, change mat liners and storage baskets that turn any surface into a functional changing station. They’re small additions, but they're the ones that save your sanity during a 3 am change.

Baby Nappies and Bags

No changing set-up is complete without a steady supply of baby nappies and nappy bags close at hand (so you're never caught scrambling mid-change).

Baby Bath and Stands

If you like to keep bath time and changing time in the same corner of the house, a baby bath table or stand can sit right alongside your change table, keeping towels, wash and change gear all within reach for the whole before-bed routine.

How to Choose the Right Baby Changing Station

There's no single ‘best’ changing station. We encourage you to explore the one that fits your home,habits and baby. Here's what's worth thinking through before you buy.

Size & Nursery Space Considerations

Measure your space before you fall in love with a floor model. A full change table with storage underneath is brilliant if you've got the room, but a slimmer nursery changing station can work just as well in a smaller nursery or a shared room.

Storage Features You'll Want to Prioritise

Things like nappies, wipes, spare onesies, that one muslin you actually like all need a home. Common favourites include:

• Drawers for sorting nappies and clothes out of sight
• Open shelving for fast, one-armed grabs mid-change
• A mix of both, so quick-access items sit up top and bulkier gear stays lower down

What Safety Features to Look For

Once bub can roll, safety features stop being a nice-to-have and become the main event. Look for:

• A stable, wide base that won't tip or wobble
• Raised edges or safety rails
• A secure harness strap, especially on tables that sit up high
• A non-slip mat surface

And the one safety rule no product can replace is keep a hand on bub at all times.

Portable vs Fixed Changing Stations

A fixed change table is great for a dedicated nursery, but a portable changing mat or fold-out tray earns its keep for travel, grandparents' houses, or simply moving between rooms during the day. You might end up wanting one of each.

What Best Materials for Easy Cleaning

Nappy changes are messy by nature, so wipeable surfaces are your friend. Laminate or sealed timber tops clean up easily, and a change mat with a fully wipeable, seamless cover will save you from replacing it every few months.

The Final Word

A good changing station won't make every nappy change a joy (nothing quite does that), but it will make them faster, safer and a lot less stressful for you and for bub. Set up your baby change table with a properly fitted changing pad underneath, and you'll be ready for every wriggle, mess and midnight change ahead.
