Molly: I think that this product should win as the slight incline of the mat is great for babies with reflux and has saved me lots of time on laundry as my baby is no longer bringing up feeds when I am changing him! The incline is the main feature of the changing mat that I love, alongside the colour and soft foam, as this not only looks great in my living room but is very comfortable for my baby to lay on. The only downside to this product is that it is quite large and cannot be folded down so storage is a bit of an issue and I end up shoving this down the side of the sofa to keep out of the way when the mat is not being used. Prior to using this mat I used a small travel mat that I could fold up and keep in my nappy caddy, which saved on space, which I now no longer use, but cannot store this mat in the same way. What changes would you make to this product? The Shnuggle Squishy Changing Mat in Eucalyptus is perfect for using at home, when travelling or even at your friends and family's house. It features high sides to prevent baby from rolling away and an angled base that elevates babies head to help relieve colic. Always wash your hands well after changing your baby's nappy to help prevent the spread of bacteria. If you're fed up with being told to buy countless products for your new baby that you don't even know will be useful or not, rest assured you'll definitely need a baby changing mat!
Jodie: I would say this product deserves to win for the slight incline alone as it has helped so much with changes and playtime for my refluxy baby. It feels such good quality, it’s so sturdy and I love that it’s premium foam is warm against babies skin. It’s so much easier to keep clean which means it’s much more hygienic. It just feels much more high end and it’s a product that I would recommend to any mum. If your mat has a washable cover, make you clean it regularly. Where can you buy baby changing mats? Erin: The design is excellent with it being at a slight raised angle for the infant's head end as this helped to reduce and ease my iinfant's colic symptoms especially whilst changing. The mat never felt freezing cold like some plastic material mats can. It was also really easy to clean and wipe down when there were super messy nappies. Of course, changing mats should be easy to clean. Trust us, accidents will happen. So look for a change mat that’s either wipe-clean or has a removable cover or liner that is washing-machine friendly. If you need added reassurance, a wedge-shaped changing mat with curved, sloping sides can prevent your baby from rolling off, but you shouldn't be leaving them unattended when you change them, anyway.Clean and disinfect the surface of the changing mat after every use with an antibacterial cleanser or wipes.
Buying a changing pad or mat is a must for travel and days out too, most baby changing bags have one included in the price, so you shouldn't have to buy one especially. You may like pretty designs, but be warned, a baby changing mat has to be practical as well as good-looking and needs to be able to withstand a lot of mess! Washable portable changing mat (Bambino Mio is good)." (Recommended by Mumsnet user Theoverstretchedmultitasker) Our verdict
Why you should trust us
We love ours, especially when little one pees mid change - the mat is angled, so it drains down and keeps them dry.” (Loved by Mumsnetter GemmaJen) Our verdict Anna Marikar, mum of four and writer of the blog In The Playroom Opens a new window explains the benefits of using a changing mat. "Using a changing mat is the easiest way to change your baby at home or on the go, and in a comfortable hygienic way. Most changing mats are wipeable, or have removable washable covers so this means you're fully prepared to deal with any explosive nappies." Which type of changing mat should you buy? If you need something more portable for travel, you can also buy thinner mats that fold up so they're little enough to be popped into a bag for days out with your baby or longer periods of travel.
