This is a great changing pad. I like the fact that it is four-sided. It also allows for my daughter's head to be slightly elevated if you put her near the edge of the changing pad (which i normally only do if i have someone else with me, to watch her), which seems to help with her reflux. She doesnt like being completely horizontal, she likes any sort of incline.
If you are looking for a changing pad cover, I would recommend this one:
Summer Infant Plush Pals Changing Pad Cover, Green/Brown
There is also one tip I want to give first time parents that I would have found useful when registering ...
Register for disposable "pee pads" (dr. office calls them "chux", or "underpads", etc). Amazon sells a bunch at reasonable prices (brand: Dynarex). They use these at the hospital and dr.'s office. You put these little pee pads over changing tables and they absorb any accidents. It will save you a LOT of laundry!!! Yes, you can minimize the occurences of accidents by putting a new diaper under the old diaper and other tricks, but no matter what you do you WILL have pee/poop getting on your changing cover frequently!! Downside is you will have more trash than you would have normally, but trust me --when you are sleep deprived, it is a LOT easier to just throw away a dirty pee pad and lay a fresh one down then to realize that you have to do a load of laundry in the middle of the night holding a crying baby! :)
here is the one i buy, normally can be had for $13 for 100 count:
Dynarex #1341 Underpads, 17x24 in. 22 gram, 100 ct
We got this changing pad for our first baby because all sides are raised and we felt that would be more safe and comfortable for the baby. We love the pad, and used it til it fell apart. It lasted about 17 months before we decided to throw it out. We'd have been able to use it longer if we had taken better care of it.
There are a few things to note about it that are negatives:
1) If you don't use a cover, it will fall apart FAST
2) The plastic cover warps after extended use
3) It's very difficult to find covers for it. We purchased some terry covers, but they kept catching on my wedding ring, so I just ended up making my own out of old towels.
Positives:
1) Baby has never bonked his head on the changing table, when he was an infant it cradled him really well, and as an older baby it was a nice rest for his head and knees.
2) It is so comfortable that many times he fell asleep in it when he was tiny. We'd strap him in and put it in the crib on nights where the only place he'd sleep was the changing pad
3) It holds its shape really well. Even after jablillions of diaper changes, all the sides held up
4) It is harder for him to roll away from diaper changes
Even though we got rid of the first one we got, we'll be getting another one for our next baby.
Buy LA Baby 4 Sided Changing Pad 32", White Now
I was very happy to find this changing pad; I purchased this pad to go on top of the DaVinci Roxanne 4-Drawer Wood Chest. I was very happy to see that the pad came with attached straps that allow you to secure the pad to whatever piece of furniture that you are planning to use it on/with. My only concern is that the screws that came with the pad are much too long...I think I might be using small screws or doing more investigating before I attempt to use the long screws in the back of my new piece of furniture.
The pad is nice and large so I feel like I will be able to get a lot of use out of it before my baby is too large to fit in/on the pad. The side walls are very nice they seem like they will help to keep the baby safely in the middle of the changing pad.
The Carters Super Soft Printed Changing Pad Cover's fit perfectly on this changer. I would recommend purchasing the covers from Cookie's the Department store for kids because the covers are only from that site and are $14.99 $15.01 here at Amazon. Shipping is free from Amazon but when I purchased two covers from Cookie's with the price of shipping I still paid less than if I purchased the covers from Amazon.

This is a really nice changing pad. Good sized, and perfect for the top of a dresser, as the edges keep an infant from moving around. The only problem is finding covers that fit. I bought the pad and 2 covers at Costco, but haven't been able to find any additional covers.

The product is exactly what I wanted. I wanted a changing pad for the top of the dresser and got just that. It comes with two little tabs on the side, underneath the pad to secure it and I really liked that feature. I find it to be very sturdy and won't move. Great buy!

I've used this remedy to help me sleep better both when I've been having nightmares and when my mind is going so fast at bedtime that I can't fall asleep. The first time I used it I'd been having such horrible nightmares that I was staying awake just to avoid them. A friend recommended coffea cruda. I tried it, and that night I slept peacefully. It was such a relief! I didn't need to take it on an ongoing basis, either. Just one dose worked. I've recommended it to several friends since then, and of those who tried it, they all told me that it helped. Some said it was amazing, others didn't go into detail. I definitely fall into the "it was amazing" category. It's given me many peaceful nights!
