What is a "changing pad"?

A changing pad is a portable and cushioned surface used for diaper changes when a dedicated changing table is not available. It provides a clean and comfortable space for caregivers to lay the baby down and perform diaper changes. Changing pads are typically made of soft and waterproof materials that can be easily wiped clean. They are designed to be lightweight and compact, making them convenient for travel or use in various locations. Changing pads ensure a sanitary and comfortable surface for diaper changes, allow caregivers to maintain cleanliness, and provide a suitable area for attending to the baby's needs, even when a dedicated changing table is not accessible.
