Keekaroo Peanut Changer, Grey (Black)

Product Information

The Keekaroo Peanut is manufactured fairly in the USA and its water-resistant materials make it mold-resistant as well, which is helpful when you’re already busy cleaning up after your baby. The ‘Crème de la Crème’ of Diaper Changers Depending on your child’s height, their legs might be too long to comfortably lay on the changing pad without their feet hanging off the end. Additionally, the Keekaroo peanut changer, as it’s name implies, has a distinct peanut shape, whereas the Matty, instead, is a rectangle.

When creating the list of things we needed for the new baby, I spent hoooours looking at all the different options for every category. It turns out that creating a registry (thank you to everyone who helped us feather our nest!!) can be very time-consuming. Of course, we all want to make the safest choices for our little ones, but how to choose?! Hopefully the things I learned in doing it can save you some time. Stability: Opt for a changing table that has a safety belt and safety rails to keep babies from rolling around. For heavier tables, prioritize ones that come with an anti-tip kit and soft-close drawers to keep little ones safe. For so long I thought these were my two choices, and I was trying to decide if we needed to shell out for the organic, or if I could live with the affordable non-organic option and comfort myself that the baby doesn't spend too, too long on the table. Create the perfect modern nursery with this three-drawer dresser that comes with a removable changing tray. Not only can you easily convert this to a plain dresser once your little one grows out of diapers, but the unique design suits a wide range of decor styles. Plus, you can get the matching crib if you want your furniture to coordinate. Each dresser and changer are made of New Zealand pinewood and available in five different colors. The three drawers and cabinet offer more storage space than many other competitors, and the drawers come with stop mechanisms to keep them from coming loose and falling out. The Good Housekeeping Institute Parenting Lab tests everything new parents need to welcome a new baby including bottle warmers, nursing bras and baby formula. To make our recommendations, we query new parents on our consumer testing panel about their experiences, perform rigorous testing both in our Lab and at home and spend hours researching the market to help find the best products you can buy.Yes, it’s expensive, but if you calculate the costs of buying throwaway changing pads for two children for as long as they are in diapers, it comes close in terms of even costs. Its safety features made me feel secure in using it, and the high-quality durable material was also a huge perk, as it can last for years and even be passed down or sold as a secondhand baby product. If you're an Ikea loyalist, the Gulliver changing table is a good option for any nursery. This minimalistic table comes with two shelves and a built-in changing topper that fits with most decor. You can use the ample storage space to keep loose diapers and wipes or grab a few storage cubes to organize everything away from tiny fingers. Our testers found that this table is at a comfortable height for shorter people and liked that it allows for storage in close proximity. Yes, it really is! In fact, I never had to strap mine down. I simply placed on top of the dresser for both of my kids. I think that the weight of the product in addition to the material helps to keep it secure and in place. Should you buy a cover or liner for the Keekaroo Peanut Changer? This changing table is pricey, but it doubles as a dresser and the topper is removable, so it doesn't need to be retired once your kid grows out of diapers. Available in four colors and made of well-crafted sap gum wood, this changing table dresser duo is not only Greenguard Gold Certified but also made in a Fair-Trade Certified factory, so it has been reviewed to meet both low chemical emission limits and healthy working conditions. The dresser includes three small drawers, two medium drawers and one larger drawer perfect for fitting all manner of clothes or toys. While testing, we liked that there were different drawer sizes so you can put important items in the top three drawers while reserving the larger drawers for clothes. We liked that, unlike most other tables, this table included levelers which help stabilize the dresser if your floors are a bit uneven.

If you’re at all familiar with the Bumbo Seat, then you’ll probably respond just as well to the Bumbo Changing Pad , which seems to be made of a similar durable foam material. It has contoured support on two sides to keep your baby safely within the short walls of the pad and you can use it for diaper changes or even just for playtime on the floor since it’s that comfortable. Like the Keekaroo Peanut Changer, you can simply wipe clean the Bumbo Changing Pad and take comfort in the fact that its durable foam makes it hard for moisture to get through and cause mold or bacteria to build up.

What if I were to tell you that there is a way to get a brand new Keekaroo peanut changer for a fraction of the cost? We just moved our Keekaro to whatever room we happened to be in at the time or kept it in the bedroom for middle-of-the-night diaper changes. Both of my boys found it extremely comfortable and whenever there was a need to clean the Keekaroo Peanut, it was a matter of seconds to wipe it down in a sanitary manner. The excellent shape and design of the Keekaroo Peanut also makes it a great “container,” especially for younger babies who are going through a wiggly phase. My younger son is currently a young toddler, so we still use it if there’s an emergency overnight diaper change needed. And the Keekaro can be used for a child up to 150 pounds, so this is definitely a product you can use for a very long time or for families with different needs. Solid Features and a Mark for Safety The changer was designed originally for hospital settings with hygiene in mind. The manufacturer states that the outer shell is resistant to bacteria growth and does not deteriorate over time. Despite all of that, the Keekaroo Peanut Changer is soft and squishy to the touch, so it is a super comfortable surface to change your baby on. The shape and design of the changing pad are meant to keep your baby safe and comfortable throughout all diaper changes and the upraised sides mean your little one isn’t likely to roll off.
