Editorial Review

This water-resistant pad is meant to fit on top of a baby's changing table to add extra cushioning during diaper changes. It's debatable whether a pad like this is a layette necessity. What's not debatable is that this pad will make diaper changes feel more comfortable for tender-skinned babies. Its sloped V-shaped design prevents babies from rolling to the side. It also comes with an adjustable Velcro elastic strap for added stability. The overhanging webbing straps can be screwed on to the back of a dresser or changing table for permanent mounting. Its 33-by-16-inch length is meant to fit a standard changing table or dresser top. The cushion casing is machine washable. --Hannah Reynolds

4.0 out of 5 stars Changing pad, May 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Basic Comfort EZ Changing Pad (Baby Product)

Rather than purchasing a changing table my husband and I got a new low dresser and use this changing pad on top of the dresser. We screwed the webbing straps into the back of the dresser (a must for safety!). It has served us well and is a nice thick cushion. However, because we screwed the webbing straps into the back of our dresser the removable, washable cover is no longer easy to remove for washing! We get around this minor difficulty by placing a waterproof liner on top, and a towel on top of that. Now we simply whisk the towel into the diaper pail and wash it along with the dirty diapers. It has served us very well.

2.0 out of 5 stars screws a pain, hook and loop scratchy, July 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Basic Comfort EZ Changing Pad (Baby Product)

I'm still expecting my first baby, but I did take the changing pad out last night to inspect it. Things I like:
1) the material is very soft
2) contour is nice and deep
3) hook and loop band is secure
Things I do not like:
1) the cover has to be screwed into the dresser/changing table to secure it. That means you have to remove two wood screws every time you wash it. How many times can you do that before the holes are stripped? If you make new holes each time, your furniture will be full of holes. I like the idea another reviewer had to purchase the buckles, but it seems like this could have been better designed
2) the hook part of the hook and loop band feels very scratchy, especially for a bare little belly. Maybe I'll be able to pull it tight enough that that part won't touch my baby's belly, but it would have made more sense to have the soft loop part be on the band.
3) it says that the cover is waterproof and that the foam insert is washable, but when do things ever come out of the wash the same shape they went in? Sounds like trouble. I'll opt for a vinyl/wipeable pad.

So I will be returning this item for a different design.
Update: I have since returned this item and I am so glad that I went with the separate pad and cover. I'm constantly washing the two covers I bought when my daughter spits up or chooses to go to the bathroom as soon as I take her diaper off. This item would have been a pain to wash all the time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a wipe clean surface: beware!, December 19, 2003

I put this on my baby registry for my first born. After having her home from the hospital for a month, I became very unhappy with this changing pad. My baby had very loose stools (from a strictly breast milk diet) and she soiled this pad close to every changing. I kept having to wash the cover. My girl friend recommended to me another changing pad on the babiesrus website called the "Contoured Changing Pad" that has a permanent plastic cover on it (that allows for a wipe clean surface). I got one and found it to be worlds better than the E-Z pad. In fact I now have two of them, one for upstairs and one for down.
