Changing pads

Changing pads with clearly described cushioning and moisture barriers, without PVC or vinyl.

The outer fabric is only one part of a changing pad.  We favor natural-fiber surfaces and examine any fill, waterproof layer and treatment underneath.  Choose a pad that fits the changing surface and can be cleaned as directed.  Neither the pad nor its strap replaces keeping a hand on the baby.

Little Dedi Organic Cotton Changing Mat — Earth Ivory, 20 × 33 in Little Dedi Organic Cotton Changing Mat — Earth Ivory, 20 × 33 in ORGANIC COTTON Why we recommend it: The reversible organic-cotton cover puts a soft, washable fabric against your baby during diaper changes.  Polyester filling adds cushioning, so this is not an all-natural pad.  It can go in the washer and dryer; use it on a secure surface and keep a hand on your baby.  For supervised changing, not infant sleep. Materials: organic cotton outer fabric · polyester filling $25.13★ 5.0 · 56 ratings View on Amazon
Putnams Organic Cotton & Wool Travel Changing Mat Putnams Organic Cotton & Wool Travel Changing Mat ORGANIC COTTONWOOL Why we recommend it: A washable cotton-and-wool mat offers a fabric alternative to a vinyl changing surface.  Its fold-out pockets keep changing essentials together, and cotton ties secure it for travel.  The changing area measures about 25.6 by 14.2 inches.  It is lightly padded, not a thick foam pad, and has no advertised waterproof barrier.  Wash on a cool wool cycle and line-dry.

Gooselings Into the Woodlands Cotton Sateen Changing Pad Cover Gooselings Into the Woodlands Cotton Sateen Changing Pad Cover COTTON Why we recommend it: This removable cotton sateen cover puts washable fabric against your baby during changes, rather than leaving a wipe-clean pad uncovered.  The Portugal-made cover measures 16 × 32 × 4.5 inches and is designed to accommodate different pad shapes.  It adds neither cushioning nor waterproof protection, so pair it with a properly fitted changing pad and keep a hand on your baby.
