Anti roll Changing mat Baby - The Wriggler Portable Travel pad with Straps

Product Information

If your little one is a squirmer, consider this changing pad from PooPoose. Some babies may not like the feel of a traditional safety belt, so this changing pad features patented swaddle-like straps to keep your little one still (and cozy!). The foam pad itself is water-resistant and easy to wipe clean, while the adjustable straps are machine-washable. It also comes with safety anchors to attach the pad to your changing table. Plus, we appreciate the contoured shape to keep your kiddo safe and snug. But perhaps more important than the frustration of the diaper change tantrum (which is real!), is the issue of safety. Injuries and hospitalisations are not something that we ever want to think about with our little ones...even mentioning the words elicits feelings of panic and worry. Having said that, arming ourselves with the knowledge of which simple daily activities and household objects can put our babies at risk ensures that we can prevent the majority of these injuries from ever occurring. The fact is, for children less than 1 year of age, falls account for over 50% of admissions to emergency departments(CDC.com Childhood Injury Report). Falls from changing tables, beds and sofas are among the most common furniture from which they fall. Last year, a video of a brother catching his baby brother falling off a changing table went viral. His mother released the video to raise awareness of the dangers of changing tables to other parents.

We think the Keekaroo's cost will be worth it for some families, as it saves time and energy while providing easy cleanup and long-lasting durability.
