 Changing Table Alternative May 22, 2008
This changing pad makes a terrific, inexpensive alternative to a traditional changing table. The foam is dense and sturdy, and the four-sided contour helps prevent baby from rolling off. (There is a strap to help secure the baby even better, but I have never been able to change a diaper with the baby strapped down.) Sturdy snap tabs are included, to accompany special bolts (also included), which enable you to semi-permanently secure the pad to the top of a piece of furniture, effectively converting it into a changing table. Purchasing an accompanying cover is a nice bonus, but not a necessity.
 Okay For The Price, Could Do Better June 12, 2007

First off, this is a halfway decent product for the price, although I prefer the contoured ones.
To address the strap issue: I find strapping the baby in unecessary, as you should never even turn your back on your child while they are being changed. If you never turn your back and you have one hand on the child at all times, why would you even consider using the strap? Secondly, I'm moving a bit too fast to worry about strapping my child in. Changing diapers is about speed...for me, at least.

This was a great changing pad until my son got bigger and more active. As he grew and became stronger this pad tore easily with his little legs kicking around. Next time I'll be getting a pad that just has the two sides to keep him and our future babies from rolling off.
Nice pad, but the straps are ridiculous April 30, 2007

Overall, I like this changing pad quite a bit. it is nice and comfortable and my baby likes it. The strap, though, is ridiculous and useless I'm referring to the two straps that you would attach to each other to prevent the baby from squirming off the changing table while you bend down to pick up the package of wipes you just dropped on the floor.
The straps are really, really short. This makes it very hard to attach them to each other, and even harder to use for a baby over 6 months old.
Furthermore, the mechanism for attaching the straps to each other is very hard to use. You basically have to feed the cloth through a slot in a plastic buckle each and every time. As a result, it is almost impossible to use this strap if you have a very squirmy bay. But of course, a squirmy baby is the whole reason you'd want to use this strap... arch.

I ordered this changing pad because it has the ends curved up, and not just the sides. This is also sometimes refered to as a "4-sided changing pad" since all 4 edges are raised.
It seems very sturdy and fits very well on top of my dresser, effectively converting the dresser to a changing table. The only reason I didn't rate this higher was that it didn't include a non-skid pad on the bottom of the pad. Also, it would have been nice if it included a sheet or cover.
Next, I need to order some covers for it, since the baby doesn't like being directly against the smooth plastic surface. I am not sure which covers to order.
