At Mammashop, we are crazy about changing tables, especially wall-mounted changing tables, because they are so incredibly practical, and therefore it is now time to advocate for them on the blog.
There are many good reasons to choose a changing table for the wall. We will point out 11 of them, so if you are not convinced now, you will be convinced that it is a must-have – especially if space is tight in your small home.
Let’s get to the point, and we dare say that you will be on our side once you have read to the last period – and maybe you have already been convinced.
- It can be folded up, so it takes up minimal space when not in use
- It is practical for the small home because it does not take up floor space
- It can be mounted on most walls
- It can be mounted at a height that gives you the best working position (your back will thank you!)
- It can hang in the bathroom, where there is direct access to water
- There are shelves for the most necessary items, so you have them right at hand when it's changing time
- The large, flat surfaces make it easy to clean
- It comes in many designs, sizes, and price ranges, making it easy to find the right one
- Most can be opened with one hand, so you can open it with a baby in your arms
- It can be used as long as it is needed, as long as the table can handle the weight
- It can be converted into a bookshelf or other storage when your child gets bigger
Are you convinced now? We thought so, and that’s why we have created a checklist for you with what you need to consider if you want the best changing experience with your child.
Checklist:
- The table should be mounted at a height that suits both mom and dad
- The recommended working height is usually 85-90 cm
- Look for a changing table with good space for the child and storage
- The changing table should have a high edge on the sides, so it keeps both the baby and the changing mat in place
- Check that the shelves have a high edge, so the changing supplies cannot fall off
- Ensure that it is securely mounted and has a high load capacity
- Consider buying a diaper bin that can be mounted on the wall
