Best Changing Pad: Keekaroo Peanut Changer

What’s your diaper-changing defense against a super squirmy baby? You’ll need a mat that keeps baby in place while keeping him or her comfy. And easy to clean is definitely a must. The Peanut is a wonderfully simple parenting hack moms recommend. Get this on your registry soon; it routinely sells out.

WHAT WE LOVE

• Solid but soft to the touch, the Peanut is bacteria resistant and impermeable to fluids. No seeping up waste or staining here—and no extra cover or pad required
• Cleaning is easy—just wipe down with soap and warm water
• Worried this material is too good to be safe? It’s non-toxic, and phthalate-, latex- and BPA-free
• The contoured shape, ridged edges, non-slip material and optional safety strap all help keep baby in place

SUMMARY

In baby’s first year, you’re looking at changing upwards of 3,650 diapers! That staggering stat makes a sturdy diaper pad definitely worth the splurge.
