    Changing table question

    I'm thinking of doing away with my changing table. All my youngest are now 2-yr old. None are yet potty trained, but I am working with the only 2year old that can tell me he poop or pee pee. They are all getting to long for the changing table. It is taking up some valuable real estate that is why I'm considering doing away with it. I do still need options thought for if I ever decide to take on an infant again. What do you use if you don't use a big ole changing table?

    I just put the changing pad on the floor in my bathroom. I attached a loop on the back and just hang it on the back of the door after each use. Saves so much space!

      I could do that in the closet area that I have the changing table in.

        Same here. I have always used a changing pad on the floor and it works great.

          Me too. If you don't want to get rid of it completely, so you have a garage/storage building you could store it in? We added a storage shed in our back yard last year and it's been a life saver (husband has OCD and can't take the clutter).

              I use the floor. I have tried the changing table, and find the floor more comfortable, easier, safer-I love not having the table taking up valuable space, too. I use disposable wax paper sheets for changing pads.

                I hate clutter so I'm forever moving things to the garage and back in. I moved the changing table to my son closet and just put his shoes on the lower two shelves. It worked out great in there. Now he has no room on the floor of his closet to pile his clothes up. I put his baseball cloves and bat bag in the top changing place so it gets it off the floor. I'm rearranging the closet mess during nap time to get it like I want.

                  The floor. I only have 3 kids and they each have their own changing pad that folds up.
