What's the difference between a changing pad and a changing mat?

When you go through all the different baby registry lists, you come across all sorts of things. Changing pad, diaper pad, changing mat—do you really need to buy all these different types of pads? And where are you supposed to put them? Not at all! All these terms actually mean the same thing: the surface where you lay your baby down to change their diaper or to dry and dress them after a bath. 

What should you look for in a changing pad? 

If you then search for the term “changing pad,” you’ll find yourself in a whole new world. The selection is huge! But what should you look for? First of all, pay attention to the size. After all, the changing pad needs to fit properly on the dresser where it will be placed. 

Next, you can check the materials used. Is it made of plastic, or of finer, softer materials? Is the bottom smooth, or does it have a non-slip surface? If the pillow is non-slip, it will be safer and more stable once your baby starts moving around. 

The Wumby Heated Changing Pad

Finally, there’s a new innovation in changing pads: built-in heating! Your little one gets cold after a bath. Until now, it was either a matter of turning up the heat or rushing to make sure your little one is dry and dressed as quickly as possible! And that’s actually a shame, because moments like changing diapers, after a bath, and, for example, baby massage are actually moments to enjoy!

Thanks to the innovative, heated changing pad from Wumby, moments like changing, drying off, and getting dressed are a joy!

The heated changing pad reaches the right temperature in just 1 minute, and thanks to the thermostat, it stays at a comfortable 37 degrees Celsius! Wumby also has a non-slip bottom and is made of super-soft, durable material that’s easy to clean.
