  • Uses button and elastic closure
Guide Review - ResaDesign Changing Pad
The changing pad that came with your diaper bag may suit you well, but chances are it's ugly and in no time the surface will start to crack and come apart. Not so with this pad. It comes in designer fabrics and colors and the changing surface is made with a vinyl that's much more durable than most pads I've seen.

The pad is lightweight and compact and stays closed with a handy elastic and button closure. I was able to master the roll and close process one-handed after just a few tries.

A bonus -- it's machine washable (just hang to dry) so keeping it clean is not a problem. Also, the price is right at just $18.

The only downside I could find, and I had to look hard, is because of its light composition. It won't provide much comfort (padding) when used on a hard surface like a bathroom changing area or hard floor.

The idea for bringing this pad to the masses came from parents continually asking creator and mom, Resa Troyer, "Where'd you get that pad!?" And trust me, people will be stopping to ask you that very same question when you use this changing pad.
