Correspondingly, can I use a dresser as a changing table?

Most changing tables include shelves to hold diapers, wipes, powder and other supplies you need. But once your baby outgrows diapers, you're left with a piece of furniture you can't really use. If you convert a dresser to a changing table, when your baby gets older, you can use the dresser in his room to hold clothes.

Secondly, can I put a changing pad on top of a dresser? The top of the dresser needs to be large enough to accommodate a changing pad without any of the pad hanging over the edge. Buy a vinyl-coated changing pad. These are sold to fit the tops of changing tables and may come with or without removable covers. Choose a pad that fits completely on top of your dresser.

Simply so, how do I choose a changing table?
