I also recommend keeping a diaper changing station in your car (and maybe the boat, too). This bag is perfect for on-the-go changes:
Shop NowWipe down your changing table regularly with a baby-safe disinfectant to keep things fresh and clean. This is my favorite:
Shop NowIf your changing pad sits directly on a dresser, add non-slip bumpers underneath. This helps prevent moisture from getting trapped and protects your wood finish.
