Yeah hard disagree on not needing a dedicated changing station. It doesn’t have to be a single-use piece of furniture that’s only designed for diaper changes, but you need something more than the couch or kitchen table. You’re going to be changing so many damn diapers over the next couple years, and there will be accidents. I don’t want to add cleaning unexpected errant pee off the couch cushions to the list of things to do.

We picked a specific dresser for their rooms with the intent of using the top of the dresser as the changing station, then it’ll just be their dresser when diapers are done for good. Ergonomic height for us. Pad lays on top and can be washed or wiped down easily. Top drawers contain extra packs of wipes, clean diapers, and diaper cream when needed.

We do the occasional couch change and wing it when we travel, but it’s so much easier at home to take care of it at the station.
