Ubi Changing Table

The Ubi Changing Table comes with a bunch of neat features, but what I like the most is that it's on the floor. If you have a hard time getting up and down, this would obviously not be great. But for those of us who seem to spend a ton of time on the floor with our baby anyway, this is a great product. Now that Andy is quite squirmy and mobile, he doesn't not want to lay still on his changing table no matter what. So every diaper change is not only a struggle but a concern because I'm afraid he'll one day fall off. I think a table that sits on the floor would be nice because just laying out a lap pad every time could get to be a pain and may not stay clean if you leave it on the floor. The Ubi has an anti-microbial surface, hypoallergenic upholstery that easily wipes clean, and fastener strips that hold the clean diaper in place while you are changing the baby. There are different fabric and wood options, and a deluxe table also has a built in diaper dispenser that automatically feeds a diaper to the top once the baby is done being changed. My only concern is that it holds up to 30 lbs, so this wouldn't be great if you have a big baby like me who is about to hit that limit at 14 months.
