NaturepedicOrganic Contoured Changing Pad for Changing Table, Changing Pad Cover Sold Separately, 4-Sided

I was really excited to add another nontoxic ans safe item to our nursery. The first changing pad I received looked like it had an air bubble in it, so I requested a replacement. The next one came the same way. I can see how this would be an amazing product to have. I just can't justify the cost and even use it if my baby can't lay flat on the pad without the air bubble shifting under his weight. Maybe I just received two duds but this momma is tired of hauling big boxes back to UPS.

Its definitely not worth your money. I've owned this for 6 months now. First, its never going to work to put your infant on top of a changing pad otherwise you end up constantly sanitizing the pad. Do yourselves a favor and invest in good quality, disposable liners instead. That's what your infant is really gonna be on.I noted in my previous review - this pad doesn't lie flat. It hammock-y. Any leaks just pool up at the center. Not ideal for sleep deprived parents changing their baby in the middle of the night. All leaks flow off the diaper and onto your pad making for a really bad night. This was a total waste of money.

I was skeptical at first... I spent $300 on an organic mattress (made locally out of organic cotton and eco wool) and it's wonderful - but do I really need to have an organic changing mat?I decided to go ahead and get it and I'm so glad I have. There's so many things in baby world that you cannot buy organic - car seat, stroller, bouncer, swing, play gym, high chair, etc... I figured I should do my baby a favor and get what I *can* organic.We've been using this changing mat for five months, now, and I'm so pleased with it! It's very well constructed and looks brand new, still. It's cooshy and my baby is always very happy on it. He's managed to pee directly on it several times and it always wipes right off with no problems.I almost spent another outrageous amount of money on some fitted organic cotton covers - but we've just been using towels. We had a handful of older towels that have cycled through the 'master bath to guest bath to downstairs bath to sitting in the bottom of the linen closet' life cycle, so we just fold those in half and put them over the mat and it's good to go. We also have a handful of  Snoozy Organic Flannel Cotton Waterproof Multi Use Pad - 2 Pack  that get tossed on there, too. Those work great if you feel like spending the money - otherwise the towels work just fine! Snoozy Organic Flannel Cotton Waterproof Multi Use Pad - 2 Pack

I wanted to have an organic changing pad. I realized now that it wouldn’t have been necessary because I will cover it with an organic cover after all! I like that it’s waterproof but there is a air bubble when you push in the middle and you can not wash the outer shell. I am not sure if the bubble will disappear over time. Overall a cheaper version would be completely satisfying as well. At least I can wipe it down in case I don’t have a cover but still..too much money for that! At least it fits in my Million Dollar/ Davinci changing tray.

Glad I ended up picking this one, I chronically over research and look at options and almost got the keekaroo but this has worked great for our first baby, easy to clean, love the four sides, and lightweight and easy to move room to room until we’re more settled and bolt it to our ikea dresser. Definitely get the cover for it, and we also got flat quilted pads to throw on top of that.
