Keep baby safe while you dress him up or change his diapers. A changing table not only makes these tasks easier, it will also help prevent strain on your back. Changing tables are now no longer mere flat platforms. They have evolved into beautiful pieces of furniture with baskets or built in drawers to house baby products.

The first rule for changing table safety is to never leave your child unattended for even a second and for whatever reason. Avoid answering the phone or the door and taking your hands and eyes from the baby unless you can pick him up and bring him to where you need to go. A bad fall from a changing table can seriously harm a small child.
