Changing table with bath: features and selection
Every year there are more and more gadgets and devices that can make childcare an easy and pleasant duty. One of these innovations is a changing table with a bath. You can understand how much it is necessary for you, even before making a purchase, having considered all the pros and cons of such products.
Special features
The purpose of the subject is clear from its name. The product is a changing table, complemented by a bath for swimming.
The bath is fixed directly below the surface intended for swaddling. During the day, the product will serve as a regular changing table. In the evening, when you need to bathe the baby, you just remove the cover, leaving the bath.
For ease of use, most models are equipped with additional shelves, which allows you to store all the necessary creams, powders and other items of care for delicate baby skin. In the bath when it is closed, you can also store bathroom accessories. So you have all the items at hand.
Another advantage of such tables is the ability to immediately wipe and dress the baby after taking a bath. After all, even adults who come out of a warm shower, it is cold from changing temperatures.
For ease of use, baths are provided with a drain with a hose. After completing the hygiene procedures, you do not have to turn over the heavy bath. It will be enough just to open the valve and direct the hose into a large bath or toilet.
Is it necessary?
Many people do not see the point in buying a table for newborns. They use for this purpose a bed, sofa or a regular table. Of course, if the financial situation does not allow, then it is quite possible to do without this device. But still such a table is very convenient. The baby will be comfortable, and he will not fall, even if he lies restlessly.
As for the table with a bath (2 in 1), it will suit only the happy owners of a large toilet room, since it simply won't fit in a small one. Most of these models are equipped with wheels, which allows you to freely move the product from one room to another. If you are planning such a method of operation, then do not clutter up additional shelves with tubes that can easily fall when moving.
It may seem that constantly rolling the table from room to room, as well as swaddling the baby in the bathroom is inconvenient. However, judging by the reviews, it is very comfortable to bathe the baby in the bath, which is at the belt level. You do not have to constantly be in an inclined position and at the same time keep the baby.
How to choose?
When choosing, pay attention to whether the model you like has anti-slip mats in the bath itself. This will prevent the baby from slipping into the water while bathing.
Another difference of changing tables with a bath is in the materials used in their manufacture. Models can be made of both wood and plastic. Making the bath of wood is impractical because the material quickly becomes unusable with frequent contact with water. Plastic is not afraid of water. If you are an adherent of natural materials, you can choose a design with a changing table made of wood, although the bath for a baby’s bathing will in any case be made of plastic.
As for the design, do not particularly worry about how much the table fits into the existing interior. To swaddle and change your baby on any table you will be a maximum of one year. A modest bath will very quickly become small and inconvenient for the grown-up toddler.
