The best baby change tables in Australia
To suit your space, your budget and your style
It’s a fact that as a parent you are going to change thousands of nappies in your baby’s life, so you want the best change table, fit for purpose.
You might be tempted not to get a change table, and that can work for some families, but changing your little one’s nappy, getting them dressed – not to mention baby massage time – can put a lot of strain on your back as you bend over time and time and time again.
Things to consider when you choosing for a change table include price (of course), size, style, portability and uses.
Safety is the most important thing when it comes to change tables. Make sure your change table has a harness and/or your change mat has one. Never leave your baby unattended. Think about how wriggly they are in the womb! If you need to turn away, always keep one on your baby.
We’ve rounded up some of the best baby change tables in Australia, to help you make your choice.

What to look for in a change table
Safety first
Ensure it is sturdy enough for your use, that it the product description says it can hold your baby’s weight, and that it comes with a built-in harness. There are no current Australian safety standards for change tables.
Space and style
Consider the space you will set aside for your baby’s change area. Are you looking for a piece of furniture that will look good in your nursery as well as be practical? Or is space tight? Maybe you want to fold it down from time to time. Do you want something portable so you can wheel it around your house or unit?
Storage
You need storage for all those nappies, changes, creams, bibs and more! Are you happy with open shelves? Will you buy additional storage cubes? Or would you prefer drawers?
Height adjustable
Some change tables are height adjustable, which can save a lot of back pain for parents of different heights.
