This cool and innovative toddler changing mat with straps gives calm, wriggle-free nappy changing anywhere*. This adorable bear character changing mat is specially designed to stop babies from rolling during diaper changes. When you kneel on the kneepads it gently anchors both mat and baby in place. This kneepad design prevents the baby from rolling or crawling away and at the same time frees both your hands to change your baby faster. 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. Usually, having two nappy changing mats would be more than enough. Ideally, you might have one that you can store in a changing box ready to grab when you need it. It's also great to have a portable or foldable one to take with you on your travels that you can easily pop into your changing bag. That way, you're always prepared when baby needs changing when you're out and about.

Key details – Features: Removable changing mat; Weight: 0.6kg; Bag dimensions: 35 x 38 x 15cm, Washing instructions: Bag and mat wipe clean The material of the Summer Infant changing pad is lightweight but sturdy. Universal disposable covers fit the changing pad well, and it stays put on nearly any typical changing table. This changing pad is a great item to put on your baby registry. It’s highly absorbent so will catch any accidents that may occur when you are changing them. This is so important in those early days when they catch you by surprise with a wee while changing them. 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? This is especially important if you are going to be using the mat on a changing unit, changing table or other defined space. Other than that, a larger change mat might be best as your baby will not grow out of it – but this also depends on whether you want it to be portable. 2. Is it portable?Why We Like It: This extremely secure pad comes in a compact size that fits smaller changing tables. It has a capacity of 23.8 litres but weighs just 750g. This design means it can also double up as a gym bag, school bag or a bag to take on weekend away. Elsewhere, it comes with two stroller hooks, which means you can attach it to a pushchair if you don’t want to carry it.

Never leave them unattended and make sure you have your nappies, lotion and wipes with you before you begin.

Style– It’s important to choose a mat that is stylish for your little one, especially if you want to stand out at baby group. I always would choose a mat that offers a funky pattern or nice colour that will look beautiful when changing your little one. 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 only anti-roll changing mat that is both portable and designed specifically to stop babies and toddlers rollingThe 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. If your little one is a squirmer, consider this changing pad from PooPoose. Some babies may not like the feel of a traditional safety belt, so this changing pad features patented swaddle-like straps to keep your little one still (and cozy!). The foam pad itself is water-resistant and easy to wipe clean, while the adjustable straps are machine-washable. It also comes with safety anchors to attach the pad to your changing table. Plus, we appreciate the contoured shape to keep your kiddo safe and snug. 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) Once you’ve pondered the above you can start the search for a baby changing bag that suits your personal style. We’d recommend selecting something both you and your partner are happy to use – that way you’ll only need one main bag. These are probably the most common style of changing mats you’ll find when you look for anti-roll changing mats. They are typically a padded changing mat with raised sides and are usually made from a wipeable PVC filled with a soft foam centre. Many of these wedge changing mats also come with removable covers which can make it a little more cosy and comfortable for babies, particularly when you’re laying them down in bare skin and the PVC can be cold to touch.
