Summer by Ingenuity Basic Changing Essentials Kit with Changing Pad, Cover, and Waterproof Liner, Chevron (3 Piece Set)(Pack of 1)

UPDATED REVIEWOriginal Post:We compared a lot of changing pads before deciding to go with this one. I am super happy we got a pad with four sides. Once our little guy became wiggly, it helped ensure that he didn't wiggle off the changing table and bang his head on the dresser. The pad is very comfortable and most changing table covers will fit on it. It's super easy to wipe clean and is still spotless a year after we purchased it, despite numerous "incidents."Helpful hint: I'm a lefty, and the fact that you can change the baby facing either direction is a huge help for us. Some changing pads come with a third wall on one side, but that wouldn't work for us as we face the little guy in different directions when we change him.UPDATED REVIEW:The only fault with this is that, due to the raised ends, it tends to be somewhat shorter than other changing pads. That being said, neither of my boys are tall, so my 2.5 year old can still fit relatively well. The mat has held up to cleaning and use over the years here, which is a definite plus. I do suggest putting a no-slip pad underneath this if it tends to slip. I am really happy we did that.

I really like that this changing pad has four sides. It makes me feel more secure when changing baby's diaper, especially now that he's happy to roll around during changes. It comes with straps so you can secure it to your changing surface although it still can move a bit despite the textured bottom.Regarding the cleanliness issue of the quilted surface, I haven't had any issues. It is easy to wipe clean but we also just use a thin towel as a cover to make messes easy to clean. Just whip off the towel and put another one on. You're doing laundry 2x plus a week anyway!

Light, waterproof, and well made for the price, this changing pad will work for us for a long time, we think. Four-sided is better than two or three-sided, IMHO, for the added security and support.I got a Summer Infant plush cover for this pad. The cover fits well in the sense that it doesn't gape, i.e. isn't loose to the point where you see the contours of the pad underneath it. It retains a bit of spring. When we place our son on the cover, it rests well against the pad. And it has slits in the sides for the passage of the pad's security straps.

I bought a bumbo brand one for $90 and I thought it was good. Then i got this one to go in our bedroom for convenience through the night and I wish I would’ve just bought two of these instead! The shape is great, it is squishy and comfortable and very easy to clean!And light weight as well, the other one is heavy and hard and the edges aren’t as high as this one.

We have yet to see it in action as our bundle of joy is still in process. We chose this one because of the higher sides for baby safety. It seems quite durable and has a vinyl cover for cleanup. It appears to be thicker than the ones we saw in retail stores.

This changing pad is perfect for our needs and has served us well for over a year and a half now. It's very well cushioned, and the strap that attaches to the changing table is great for keeping it in place. We didn't use it at first, but at one point our daughter figured out how to push herself off the wall with her feet and slide the whole changing pad away from the wall, so we had to quickly attach the strap to the dresser that we use as a changing table. She lost interest after she was no longer able to push herself around. But that strap that's drilled into the dresser was literally a lifesaver! I also love the 4 walls. Our baby also liked pushing up with her feet and scooting around the pad, so keeping her contained on all four sides was also crucial.As far as cleanability goes... Well, I really wish they hadn't punctured the entire surface of the pad with all these little holes!!! They're not even stitch holes - there are no stitches forming the quilt-like pattern - no, it's just holes into the waterproof surface! Dumbest thing ever - why would you create a waterproof surface, and then drill a million holes into it?!?!? So, practically, it is not waterproof. You can see the foam underneath through the holes. Once liquid gets in there, there's no way to clean it out. You can wash the surface, but the foam in the holes remains stained. Luckily, our baby has never pooped on the pad, and only peed on it maybe twice in 20 months, and even then it was mostly contained in the open diaper under her butt or on the bath towel, so it hasn't been a problem. That's why we've been using it without a liner (the surface is very soft and pleasant, not plasticky). If your baby isn't prone to accidents in the short amount of time the diaper is open, then this pad is great all around and can be used as is (ours lasted over a year and a half of daily use before it started developing tears). But if your baby does have frequent accidents, then you'd need to use a separate waterproof liner on top of the pad, or just get another changing pad altogether.UPDATE: I feel like I need to add this, even though I don't want to sound like I'm lecturing people. Some changing pads have a strap to buckle the baby down, some don't. Some people put the pad on a high surface, some put it on the bed or floor. But with the popularity of "changing tables" and other such high furniture, it's likely that a lot of people are placing these things high up, and, let's face it, probably not buckling their babies in. I myself didn't do it every time. I thought it wasn't necessary if I was right there. Until one day I stepped 3 feet to the side for two seconds, and my 7-month-old baby flipped himself out of the changing pad and fell head first towards the hard tile floor... I lunged and caught him, just as his head grazed the ground, and in doing so I smashed my own face into the corner of the wall. I'd much rather have a broken face than a broken/dead baby, but if I'd used the buckle that the pad came with, I wouldn't have had to have either. I will never think the buckle unnecessary or silly again. People, buckle your babies, even if you're right there! All it takes is a second, and it could be a second too long!

I really like this changing pad. It's thick and I really like that there are four sides to it. When my baby starts kicking or moving around a lot, the pad at the end protects her from hitting her head on the changing table. I have a convertable nursery set with the changing table/three drawers. This fits very snug inside the changing table. It worked out great for us, but you may want to be sure to measure your pad area before you purchase. Very pleased with this and would highly recommend.
