Product Information

A changing mat will become part of your essential baby kit. You might even find you want one mat in your baby’s nursery, one downstairs, and another in the changing bag itself… even one at grandparents’ houses. Does it offer special features? These days, many change mats are decorated with beautiful printed artwork. Some offer functional design features such as anti-roll wedge sides, which can be really useful, especially if you have a particularly wriggly baby. But the fact of the matter is that special features often add expense so if your budget is tight, you may well find that a basic change mat does the job perfectly well. Is a changing mat necessary?

What should I look for in a changing mat?

A changing mat will provide a clean, comfortable surface for you to change your baby on. It will be easy to wipe clean if any spills occur (which they will), and will support your baby while you get down to business. There are several Olli and Ella baskets available, but we loved the contrast between the natural seagrass and the recycled plastic white weave on the Reva. It added a little interest to our nursery. We appreciated that it held our wiggling babe securely as we changed them – as well as all our changing essentials – so everything was to hand and secure. For hygiene reasons, buying a new changing mat is always recommended, rather than using a secondhand one. Are wedge baby changing mats better? The best changing mats you can buy in 2023 1.

You'll need one changing mat in the nursery and also a smaller pad or mat that you can pop into a bag if you need to travel with your baby. However you should NEVER leave your baby unattended when changing their nappy, even if you think they aren't mobile at all. The ideal changing mat for babies is padded and waterproof, with a surface that can be easily wipe-cleaned and a soft cotton washable cover for added comfort. In comparison to the average changing mat, the Shnuggle Squishy offers an altogether cosier nappy change surface. Constructed from a slab of soft, non-toxic foam, it’s warmer on a baby’s delicate skin than other change mats. As there’s no need to cover the mat with a towel or muslin, as you may find necessary with more basic changing mats, buying this high-end changing mat should reduce your washing pile and stop you spending money on extra towels.
