Keekaroo Peanut Changer, Grey (Black)

Product Information

It is made in the USA and comes with a 5-year warranty and is free of: Latex, PVC, BPA, Phthalate, and Formaldehyde. The changing pad also has a 30 pound weight limit. Keekaroo Safety Water resistant, ideally by itself even without a waterproof cover, or with a very easy to wash cover. At first, you might notice a strong chemical or plastic smell in this product that doesn’t go away right off the bat. If you’re looking for a change pad that pretty much stays put in the nursery on your changing table, the Keekaroo (at 7 pounds) and Hatch Grow (at 7.5 pounds) are great choices.

While the strap is this changing pad's main selling point, just be aware that not all babies will love it. Rebellious toddlers have been known to flip around onto their bellies while still strapped in! Add to that, the safety straps are attached to the Bumbo change pad, which is different from the Keekaroo, where the detached safety strap is meant to secure the changer onto the change table, as well as the baby onto the changer.It’s also free from a number of chemicals you likely don’t want near your child’s nether regions, including BPA, PVC, formamide, PBDE flame retardant, and phthalates. Durable Build: The Keekaroo Peanut’s unique material is not only robust but also easy to clean, making it a breeze to wipe off messes and maintain hygiene. That said, the Bumbo is still big – you can’t exactly throw it in the diaper bag. As such, it’s portable for changing diapers at home, but isn’t a good solution for on the go.

Standing out from other diaper changing pads, the Keekaroo Peanut Changer is not only durable to stand up to everyday demands and comfortable for easy clean up, but the Keekaroo Peanut Changer is safe! Resistant to tears and peels, the strong outer skin helps the changer limit bacteria growth and limits mold from everyday use. The Peanut Changer is also slip resistant, staying put on the table and keeping your little one in place during changing. Portability: The Hatch Changing Pad’s lightweight construction makes it easy to move around the house or take on the go. This led me to wonder: are these new, rubber style changing pads worth it? And what’s the difference between the most popular brands? Is a Keekaroo Peanut, Bumbo, Hatch Pad or Leander Changing Pad Worth It?

My big issue with the Bumbo pad is that the company makes it hard to know what the changing pad is made of, and what it’s free from. The company indicates the changing pad (along with the Bumbo seat) is made of “high-quality foam,” but that’s as far as they get. When they pee on the Hatch or the Bumbo, the pee stays put and doesn’t run down. Bumbo (left) Keekaroo (center) and Hatch (right) Bumbo (left) Leander (center) and Keekaroo (right)

If you’re wondering what magical material makes the Keekaro possible, it’s made from sturdy polyurethane polymer but still manages to be free of any harmful substances like BPA, phthalates, or formaldehyde. A Plus Environmentally-Minded Mamas Overall, I like the Peanut and would say my experience with the Keekaroo Changer is 9.8/10. I can definitely see why this is the market leader and it’s a great choice. But Take Note: The material tends to bunch, and you'll need to use the furniture belt to prevent sliding.Of the three, Bumbo is consistently the best option for parents on a budget, and really is quite good in my opinion. While I do really love the Leander and like the Hatch and the Keekaroo, I’m also the first to admit they are on the more expensive end of changing pads, and may be overkill for some families. Why We Like It: High, curved sides, a safety belt, and soft-but-wipeable material all come at a really affordable price. With the soft Keekaroo Peanut Changer , you can deal with diaper changes pretty much anywhere without worrying about putting your baby on a hard or unsanitary surface when changing diapers. A diaper-changing pad should provide comfort and safety for the little one who will spend a lot of time on it. Look for changing pads with features like a three-sided or contoured design to prevent them from rolling off, with additional cushioning to keep babies comfortable and protect their heads. When compared to the other changing pads, the Skip Hop is about the same length as the Keekaroo, but an inch and a half wider – which is worth noting if you plan on using a dresser as a changing table.
