If a few days ago we offered you all the keys to find the perfect one, today we will see some simple tips that will extend the life of the bath-changing table to accompany us for years in good shape. The arrival of a brother, our economy or the little space at home are worth taking care of this school.
We have to decide what material we want the structure of the changing bathtub (logically I refer to the legs, not the cubicle of the bathtub, which is plastic). A wooden structure can end up deteriorating, and even more so if it is lacquered in paint. With steam and temperature changes that usually occur in bathrooms, it is likely to break down, just like metal, which will eventually oxidize.
Let's buy a spare cloth cover. The bases of the changing table are lined with a plastic that usually has beautiful children's prints. But with use, the joints of these plastic covers wear out and end up breaking somewhere. Then, the foam rubber remains in the air, which does not take long to deteriorate. This is when many parents decide to go out and buy the cover for the changing table.
My advice is that from the beginning we get one or two of these cotton fabric covers (usually the base is a towel). Apart from the warmth that they provide when we support the baby, they protect the changing base, lengthening its useful life and preventing the rubbing and the occasional pull of foam pieces.
A spare case, or two. These towel covers are quite economical, so we can buy a spare one, because from our own experience, it is not uncommon for them to be spotted with pee or poop when babies are very small. That is the inconvenience, we will have to wash the cover frequently. If we leave the plastic, being waterproof, we will only have to clean it with a damp cloth or wipes when there are these unforeseen events. But also the plastic will suffer more and will run the risk of breaking before as we have said.
When we do not use the bathtub as such because the baby has grown, the use as a changing table continues for a long time, so that the furniture continues in the bathroom. Then we can take the opportunity to store diapers or wipes packages in the bathtub, as if it were one more small closet in the bathroomThere are even those who take the opportunity to have the child's shoes and shoes there.
When we finish the baby's bath, it is advisable to empty the water bath so that there are no remains and dry it well with paper or a towel. In this way there will be no water left where bacteria proliferate and we will not have to use cleaning products that can damage the surface so frequently.
We hope these tips for the bath-changer last a long time in perfect condition They have been useful for you. Now we just have to hope we have not made a mistake in the purchase and be happy with this furniture that can be so practical for years.
