Keekaroo Peanut Changer, Grey (Black)

Product Information

I’m concerned with sustainability and the environment—we cloth diaper and try to reduce our use of one-use products, so the Keekaroo Peanut it allowed us to skip plastic disposable change mats in favor of something reusable. The Good Housekeeping Institute Parenting Lab tests everything new parents need to welcome a new baby including bottle warmers, nursing bras and baby formula. To make our recommendations, we query new parents on our consumer testing panel about their experiences, perform rigorous testing both in our Lab and at home and spend hours researching the market to help find the best products you can buy. Additionally, the Keekaroo peanut changer, as it’s name implies, has a distinct peanut shape, whereas the Matty, instead, is a rectangle. Overall, there are some awesome options out there, and we think you'll be happy with any of our top 10 changing pads! Questions? Visit us on Facebook and send a message! Or, maybe you’re just wondering if there’s a Keekaroo alternative that works like the Keekaroo peanut changer, but costs less?

Since it’s so lightweight, you can move it around your house or even take on family trips so you won’t have to worry about finding a makeshift changing table. This is a crowded market and it's becoming hard for companies to set their products apart and offer something unique. This issue led to the introduction of newer styles like the Keekaroo and Skip Hop, and the Hatch smart changing pad that adds a baby scale feature. This changing table is pricey, but it doubles as a dresser and the topper is removable, so it doesn't need to be retired once your kid grows out of diapers. Available in four colors and made of well-crafted sap gum wood, this changing table dresser duo is not only Greenguard Gold Certified but also made in a Fair-Trade Certified factory, so it has been reviewed to meet both low chemical emission limits and healthy working conditions. The dresser includes three small drawers, two medium drawers and one larger drawer perfect for fitting all manner of clothes or toys. While testing, we liked that there were different drawer sizes so you can put important items in the top three drawers while reserving the larger drawers for clothes. We liked that, unlike most other tables, this table included levelers which help stabilize the dresser if your floors are a bit uneven. I will also mention that the Changer is slip resistant and comes with a safety strap. Once my daughter moved into her crib, I simply placed my Keekaroo on top of the dresser in her room (as pictured below), and I have never had any difficulties with it moving out of place. When she was little and sleeping in the bassinet in our room, I would simply plop it on top of our bed when we needed to change her and then store it vertically next to our dresser in between changing. Keekaroo Peanut Changer Purpose: Are you looking for something to permanently add to the nursery or for something to carry to different rooms in your house? Some changing tables can even turn into regular furniture like a dresser or bed frame once your baby has outgrown diapers.It is made in the USA and comes with a 5-year warranty and is free of: Latex, PVC, BPA, Phthalate, and Formaldehyde. The changing pad also has a 30 pound weight limit. Keekaroo Safety When compared to the Keekaroo peanut changer, this changing pad by Evolur is just a hair smaller than the Keekaroo peanut changer, but I don’t find the inch or two difference to be noticeable. The changer was designed originally for hospital settings with hygiene in mind. The manufacturer states that the outer shell is resistant to bacteria growth and does not deteriorate over time. Despite all of that, the Keekaroo Peanut Changer is soft and squishy to the touch, so it is a super comfortable surface to change your baby on. Although the Keekaroo Peanut diaper changer is one solid piece, it can be used to change your child anywhere around the house where you choose to use it. It features a durable outer shell with a solid protective layer that inhibits the growth of bacteria when you’re changing your baby or toddler’s diaper. A firm base ensures that if you are using it as designed—with the safety strap securing your baby anytime you change them—you may use it on a higher surface such as a changing table. So, you have the option of using the Keekaro Peanut in one location in the house, or moving it around as you find convenient for you needs. As any parent can attest to, there are countless times when you might find yourself laying a blanket or extra covers down on the living room floor to do on-the-fly diaper changes because who has the time or energy to walk to the changing table in the nursery every single time?

Belts: Safety first! If you have a wiggly or curious baby, you might be worried that they'll rollover and do gymnastics off the changing pad. Most of the changing pads we tested have a safety belt that helps prevent too much movement when you need to reach down for diapers, or over for baby wipes. Always keep one hand on your baby's tummy when you're looking away; your baby will learn to roll and shimmy around at some point, and you don't want it to happen while up at this height! Our Testing There’s no guarantee that you’ll truly use this particular feature, but it convenient to have with a changing pad that’s comfortable enough to keep your baby lying still. You can also wipe clean the changing pad to keep it sanitized and it doesn’t have the need for any changing pad covers to deal with. Finally, for those of you that are aesthetically inclined, the Keekaroo Peanut Changer comes in several color options: grey, vanilla, aqua, raspberry. Keekaroo Peanut Changer – Color Options The shape and design of the changing pad are meant to keep your baby safe and comfortable throughout all diaper changes and the upraised sides mean your little one isn’t likely to roll off.

The pad itself is soft enough for most babies to feel cushion beneath them rather than a hard surface.

While the Keekaroo comes in a rainbow of rich, vibrant colors, the Matty comes in a sea of neutrals – an understated pink, light sage green, grey, taupe and beige. You can keep the changing pad in your room for easy middle of the night diaper changes so you won’t have to rush your baby to the nursery if he or she sleeps in your bedroom. There aren’t many big aspects of the Skip Hop Nursery Style Wipe-Clean Changing Pad that totally set it apart from some of the others on this list or even the Keekaroo Peanut Changer itself, but it does have some fun features you won’t find anywhere else. What if I were to tell you that there is a way to get a brand new Keekaroo peanut changer for a fraction of the cost? Standing out from other diaper changing pads, the Keekaroo Peanut Changer is not only durable to stand up to everyday demands and comfortable for easy clean up, but the Keekaroo Peanut Changer is safe! Resistant to tears and peels, the strong outer skin helps the changer limit bacteria growth and limits mold from everyday use. The Peanut Changer is also slip resistant, staying put on the table and keeping your little one in place during changing.Because the material cannot be easily penetrated, there’s less of a chance of bacteria build-up or mold. As a diaper changer, the Keekaroo Peanut is basically the “creme de la creme” because you can put it anywhere from a changing table to next to your bed thanks to its safety features that include a sturdy base and safety strap. Whether at home on a changing table or on top of a dresser, or when you're on the go, you'll want a changing pad that is comfortable, safe, and easy to clean. As a mama with a love for the good stuff, and only so many dollars, I am a huge fan of premium baby gear marketplace for gently used and opened box baby gear, GoodBuy Gear. The shape and design of the changing pad make it comfortable for your baby to allow you to change their diaper every time instead of trying to squirm away.
