Changing table to a bed and a dresser. This model is very convenient, but it takes a lot of space, so it is better to buy in when the apartment allows you to allocate a few extra meters.

Changing Tables with Bath. This is one of the most popular models today. It is convenient if the apartment has a large bathroom, which can accommodate more furniture. In this model, bath and changing table are located at a convenient height, there are boxes and trays for storage of linen and hygiene items.

Many parents are convinced that the changing table - it is very convenient.
