Definition: What is a changing table attachment?
A changing table attachment ( changing table topper
)
is an add-on extension for existing furniture, usually chests of drawers, which creates a safe, raised changing surface for babies. Our changing table attachments can be mounted on IKEA chests of drawers such as HEMNES or MALM, as these are particularly suitable due to their depth, stability and storage capacity. A changing table topper does not replace a chest of drawers , but rather expands the functionality of existing furniture without limiting its long-term usability.
Can you turn any chest of drawers into a changing table topper?
No. Not every chest of drawers is suitable for a changing table topper. Whether a chest of drawers can be used as a changing table depends on several factors:
- Depth of the chest of drawers: The changing surface must offer sufficient space for the baby.
- Stability: The changing table must not move under load
- Height: an ergonomic changing height prevents back strain
- Material & construction: Solid or sturdily constructed chests of drawers are preferable
