If you are limited on area or short on cash, you may be asking yourself if a changing table is essential.
While a place to replace your little wiggle monster is a must-have, a changing table is definitely not.

The Dresser/Changing Station Combo
Instead of buying a traditional changing table, go for a low, strong dresser and convert it into a temporary changing station.
Pick a padded changing mat with raised sides, and secure it to the top.
Pair with a set of pretty wicker baskets or fabric bins for saving diapers and other necessities, and you will have every item you need at arm’s reach.
You will advantage from the extra storage a dresser offers and get far more use of your purchase in the long run.

The Fold-Down Changing Table
A built-in fold-out changing table may actually be what you are looking for when working with a tiny area.
These clever creations fold out of the wall to offer a powerful changing surface that can be tucked away when not in use.
They also permit you to capitalize on otherwise unusable areas, such as the wall behind the door.

The Folding Changing Table
If you like the idea of a foldaway changing table but are not so keen to begin knocking holes in the wall, a portable or folding changing table is the best choice.
It offers many of the same advantages as a built-in changing table without the tricky installation process, making it a more practical choice for parents who rent their homes.
These costly freestanding changing stations fold that behind the door or put in the closet when not in use, making them best for little nurseries with limited area.
