At Mumsnet, we know how important the right baby equipment is, and how an authentic recommendation from a fellow parent who's been in your shoes can be better than any expert opinion. This mat is only slightly more expensive than the Mama Shack Anti-Roll Changing Mat, depending on which print you choose.

Plus, it's generously stuffed with plush foam in the center to keep your little one comfy and supported. The foam inside is thick and supportive, and the raised wedge sides discourage your baby from rolling as well as helping to contain any nappy changing accidents too.We have a Mama shack one, my son is only 14 months mind you but its nice quality and still looks same as the day we got it.

This padded foam changing mat is designed with wedge shaped sides to help your newborn feel more secure during nappy changes and to prevent an older baby rolling off altogether.To avoid carrying a mat around your home between changes, you may consider invest in more than one changing mat - one for upstairs and one for downstairs, perhaps? I also got a little travel changing mat like this one because changing tables out can be pretty grim. Fabric changing mats are more likely to absorb leaks and should be machine washable to ensure that they can be properly cleaned between uses. In navy and white stripes, it looks pretty swish and a handy velcro tag allows you to attach it to your buggy. If you choose a fabric changing mat, you may need to consider purchasing two so that you always have one at your disposal while the other is in the wash.

It’s clear a lot of thought has gone into the Shnuggle's design and reviews say that it lasts well so it should see you through as many changes, and babies, as required. It’s 100% waterproof so won’t soak up water from the changing room floor, and the top is anti-stick, so it’s easy to shake sand off if you're at the beach. It is finished in a beautiful Dumbo design, which is the perfect accompaniment to the rest of the Disney Inspire nursery range.You can rest assured that our baby mats are made with nursery grade, non-toxic (phthalate free) fabric, are wipe clean and waterproof! When a product is doing a messy, dirty job, it’s essential that it can be cleaned easily and frequently.
