Converting Dresser to Changing Table

Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can convert a dresser to a changing table without purchasing the station/kit.

TIA

im not sure what you mean by kit but all i did was buy change table pad it came with screws to screw onto the back of the dresser so i had DH screw it on.

I also got this to organize all the things i need.

Ok thank you. There is no lip to screw it on, but maybe DH can get inventive. Chat Icon

Converting Dresser to Changing Table

I use my dresser as a changin table and just have the pad sitting on top. Its not nailed or screwed to anything. The pad does shift here and there but I never leave DS alone on it so I am not aorried.

I just placed the pad on the table and screwed the pad to the back of the dresser. I screwed the pad to the back with the mounting strap that it comes with. I thought it was a good safety measure with 2 babies. I also got a little organizer to go along side it.

I use a non-slip rug pad under my changing pad and it's been working great so far.

DD is 6 months and not so wiggly though. Chat Icon
