- When choosing a changing table, it is necessary to take into account the material from which it is made. In no case it should not be plastic, only a natural tree. The surface must be perfectly flat and covered with a smooth, safe material (eg latex). The corners of the changing table should be rounded so that, as best as possible, protect the child from domestic injuries. Be sure to check the stability of the swaddling table when buying to avoid undesirable situations. Choose a table for the growth of the mother - this will help to avoid constant pain in the lower back.
- When buying, pay attention to safety. If the table is laid out, then all its attachments must be complete and in good condition. If the table is on wheels, then there must be brake fasteners on them. Be sure to check the model for the inaccessibility of cosmetics (creams, oils) for the child. The drawers must be tightly closed and be out of the reach of the child.
- Further, be sure to check the availability and convenience of the boxes for you, the possibility of placing everything necessary in them. Check the mounting of the boxes. Very often there are cases when they can pop up at the opening.
