There are quite a number of baby changing tables on the market today. Since changing diapers is an unavoidable task, a changing table is probably one of the most important pieces of furniture new parents should consider for the nursery. Here are five things parents should know about choosing the right baby changing table.
1. The most important factor in choosing a baby changing table is the tables sturdiness. According to the Nemours Foundation, an organization dedicated to improving the health of children, parents should examine the tables construction very carefully, particularly if considering the folding style changing tables. If the table is flimsy without much support, its a very good chance that it will not bare the constant use of changing diapers. For all types of tables it is important to check for sharp edges and any exposed fasteners such as nails or large furniture staples.

2. All tables should be equipped with guardrails and safety straps to keep the baby secure. There are many varieties of changing tables. There are standalone tables as well as combination crib and dresser changing tables. There is a changing table to fit any size room and budget. Whichever is chosen it is important to remember that the baby's safety comes first.
3. The changing tables base should be wide enough to prevent being pulled over. Though changing diapers is not a complicated procedure, it can be a rather hectic one. Having to reach out for a misplaced diaper or any other changing supplies can cause a table to tip over if it is accidentally bumped. Having a wide base can prevent this from happening. Its a good idea to choose a table that has shelves or compartments where supplies can be stored at hands reach.
4. Choose a changing table that is proportionate to your height. A new parent will change thousands of diapers. Experienced parents know what an excruciating task this can be. Make sure that the table is the right height for both parents. The tables width should be wide enough for the baby to fit comfortable. The table top should also include a changing pad to separate the baby from the hard surface of the table.
5. Make sure that the baby furniture changing table you purchase conforms with all regulatory agencies. Recently in California a number of baby furniture manufacturers have been sued for not complying with the state's anti toxic laws. It seems that these manufacturers have been accused of selling products that contain a high level of formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen and can be found in plywood, particle board, and paint. Infants can be at risk by breathing this noxious gas. Check with the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association or the North American Security Standards if you are uncertain.
Baby changing tables can make the task of changing diapers a lot easier. These five tips should make choosing the right changing table more informative. The most important thing to remember when choosing any product for your baby is their safety.
