Product Information

PORTABLE CHANGING MAT – No need for bulky wedge changing mats. This foldable travel changing mat fits neatly into changing bags and handbags so that you can have wriggle-free nappy changing at home or out and about Naturally we were nervous about appearing before the Dragons, however we were determined not to let our nerves get the better of us. When it comes to choosing a changing mat Cheeky Wipes know more than a few of the main factors to take into consideration. Quality, durability, practicality, and style are all high priority. The Redirection barrier fits around children up to 22 inches wide around the lower chest. This means your child may outgrow it before they get to the potty training stage. On top of that, slightly older children can easily break free of the velcro. This changing pad is not a restraint system and therefore does not prevent your child from rolling. The best you can do is distract your child by attaching toys to the barrier. They say: "Given you change a baby’s nappy at least six times a day until potty training, which amounts to an incredible 6,500 times, it’s a possible godsend for 40% of parents who report feelings of stress and frustration as they grapple with their little wriggler at changing time."

The cute bear design is adorable and kids will love it. The innovative design works by the arms of the bear wrapping around your baby to provide a swaddle feel.

These are probably the most common style of changing mats you’ll find when you look for anti-roll changing mats. They are typically a padded changing mat with raised sides and are usually made from a wipeable PVC filled with a soft foam centre.

Swimming is one of my favourite things to do with my baby. But when they fill their nappy while in the pool, it is inconvenient to go to the pool toilets to change them. This Splash About changing mat is therefore a perfect choice to change your baby by the pool. You can just lay out the mat and safely change your baby without them touching the floor by the poolside or in the changing rooms. It’s quite bewildering to take in everything, number crunching, negotiating and having to make a decision in such a pressurised space knowing our every word and move was being scrutinised by the Dragons in front of a studio full of cameras,” explains James. If you don't anticipate too much of a battle but would like an extra layer of safety on changing tables, then the Poopoose or a contoured changing mat may suit you just fine!

The only negative is that it is a higher cost and might be more than you want to spend for a travel changing mat. Also, it’s possible the arms might upset the baby more, making nappy changing harder work. However, we definitely feel this mat is worth a place on our list of best portable changing mats.

It's larger than an average mat but can also can still be easily folded up as a travel mat too.

Made with waterproof plush on one side and soft absorbent bamboo on the other, the changing mat is larger than usual making it comfortable for your baby. It's another sales channel. With Covid-19, retail is still opening up so there will be opportunities for us." While rebeccak83 questioned it's originality saying: "I had one of these changing mats that you strapped your baby in years ago with a knee pad area and it wasn’t this one. Nothing new to see here! #DragonsDen" But perhaps more important than the frustration of the diaper change tantrum (which is real!), is the issue of safety. Injuries and hospitalisations are not something that we ever want to think about with our little ones...even mentioning the words elicits feelings of panic and worry. Having said that, arming ourselves with the knowledge of which simple daily activities and household objects can put our babies at risk ensures that we can prevent the majority of these injuries from ever occurring. The fact is, for children less than 1 year of age, falls account for over 50% of admissions to emergency departments(CDC.com Childhood Injury Report). Falls from changing tables, beds and sofas are among the most common furniture from which they fall. Last year, a video of a brother catching his baby brother falling off a changing table went viral. His mother released the video to raise awareness of the dangers of changing tables to other parents.You'd have a little bit of skin in the game and what you can then do is focus on being the face of the brand."
