The Best Baby Changing Pad by Colgate, 3-Sided Anti-Scoot Design Safely Supports & Positions Baby, Hypoallergenic + Greenguard & CertiPUR Certified, Durable Yet Easy to Clean, 16” W x 33” L x 4” H

This pad is thick and sturdy. My 7 week old daughter seems very comfortable on it as well...she's a happy girl after bath time and will just lay there cooing while I'm doing all the post-bath things (lotion, cleaning ears, etc). She has also slept (napped) comfortably on it when I have put it in the pack n play for her to have some nakie time to air out the bum! Obviously I know it's not meant for sleeping on but the point is, it's definitely a plus that she is so comfy on it- makes diaper changes easy! I use the super soft Summer Infant changing covers, which fit tightly on this pad. Mine arrived with no chemical smell that some others have mentioned. I also put a piece of the no-slip rubber drawer lining material underneath it so it doesn't move around on top of the dresser. **ALSO** when looking for a new pad for her co-sleeper, I found out that Colgate makes custom mattresses- you just have to order from a local retailer as they only sell retail. I have not received the mattress yet to say good or bad about it but thought I would share with you that they make custom sizes. I can't wait to get it because the pad the co-sleeper came with is super flimsy and does not seem like my baby is very comfortable throughout the night!

I love this changing pad! I searched long and hard to find a pad to replace the flimsy one that came with my table. My little boy is a little giant and it was important to me to find one that was long enough! I was also drawn by the extra tall sides as he is quite the roller, and it has not failed to disappoint me in keeping him where he should be. It took him about 2 months (he’s now almost 7 mo old) to be able to roll over on (on, not off of) his changing pad (it certainly isn’t easy for him) but he still stays on the pad!!! It has stood a decent amount of wear and tear from both of us and still looks, feels, and acts like it’s brand new! Highly recommend for anybody who has a tall baby or toddler, a very squirmy little one, or anybody that just wants a good and sturdy changing pad! 😆

We did a fair amount of research before picking this particular changing pad, and it has turned out to be the right decision for us. We've used this changing pad for about 2.5 months so far and it's worked very well thus far for our little one. Having a 3 sided changing pad not only helps prevent baby from rolling off of the pad, it also gives her a little bit of head support as well, which I believe is always helpful. I do believe that the additional cost you'll pay for this compared to less expensive changing pads is worth the extra cost as this pad feels much thicker and much more substantive than others. Lastly, we're using two accessories with this changing pad that I also believe are must haves to protect the changing pad from getting messy and to give it a little bit of style: American Baby Company Cotton Terry Contoured Changing Table Cover, White Boppy Changing Pad Liners 3-Pack - White

Love the quilted look and generous size. Easy to clean and use on any flat surface! However, starting at about 12 lbs my baby's head started to leave a dent every time I place him on it. He's about 15 lbs now and the dent hasn't gotten any bigger. It says it can hold up to 50 lbs , so we will have to see.

So far so good. Seems excellent. Nice and thick and comfy. Fits in my changing table perfectly - nice and snug fit. These pads and pads by other brands come in different lengths and sizes, so be sure to get one as close to the size of the changing table top as possible. This was the best shape and size possible for the money. I like these type with just a slanted foot area because it allows more room for baby, while still having that nice incline at the head area. I looked at the ones that also have the closed foot area, but it seemed like less room for baby in the center which means you won't be able to use it as long. This is a great fit and a great value.

I am an American living in Germany and I ordered this from amazon.com because they didn't have it in Europe. I hated paying for the shipping ($$$) but it was sooo worth it. Most changing pads here are blow-up mattresses, whereas this mattress holds it form and provides excellent support for baby. We like the strap, too, as our baby kicks up a storm on the changing table, so it's good to know the pad will stay put. The pad is a bit narrow, so maybe when she gets older it might be a bit small (she's only 2 months now) but even then I'd still be happy I got this one. As a tip: we also bought a cover for it. It's easy to wipe clean, but I like the soft touch of a cover for her skin.

My son is now 16 months and this thing is still going strong. The buckles still work and the foam hasn't flattened or lost shape. It is easy to wipe down and clean. We normally have a cover on it but even still it has been an easy clean-up.

I bought this for my baby girl that is due in May. I therefore have not actually tried it out firsthand. I was recommended this brand by the furniture store where I bought my baby's crib and changing table. Of course, they wanted twice as much as Amazon. It fits perfectly on the changing table and seems to be comfortable to the touch. I have not bought a changing pad cover because I registered for it and wanted to see if I receive one before purchasing. Therefore, I cannot say if all brands fit this pad.
