At the time of this writing, I have a son who is five and an 11-month-old daughter. So among other things, over the past half-decade, I've spent a good number of hours changing diapers. In that time, I've come to appreciate any and all products that make the diaper-changing process quicker and easier. Because while dealing with dirty diapers isn't actually as bad as folks without kids might imagine, it's not something you'd do for fun.
Frankly, you don't need a baby changing table. You can put a pad down on top of a dresser or spread a towel out on a bed and everything will go just fine. But the convenience of a dedicated diapering station - complete with a changing pad positioned at the perfect height, space to store and organize diapers, wipes, and creams, and the safety features like elevated side walls and a strap that help prevent falls - make changing tables well worth the investment.
And as babies go through multiple diapers each day, you're going to be spending a lot of time at your changing table, so consider which choice is best for your home.
Through my experience in reviewing children's products, expert reviews, and customer comments, we've rounded up the best changing tables to suit a variety of aesthetics and with a range of functions, from a wheeled table to a folding option and one that converts into a dresser when the diaper days are done. What they all have in common is storage space, safety features, and great ratings from people who have used them with their own kids.
While the Delta Children Eclipse Changing Table is our top pick for the best changing table overall, for the reasons laid out below, you should also consider the Graco Lauren Changing Table, the Costzon Folding Diaper Station, the Badger Basket Corner Changing Table, and the West Elm x PBK Modern 6-Drawer Changing Table.
