This pad is considerably better. He hardly even tries to roll on it. I like the contoured shape in general because it keeps my son (6.5 months and a wiggly little one) in place. We had a hand-me-down changing pad to start with, and it was also contoured, but we decided to replace it after a few months. I don't use a liner because that's just one more thing for me to wash, and this pad is all one piece, so there are no nooks and cranies for things to get trapped in. Of course, now that I've said that. On our previous pad, the sides were velcroed on, I guess so you could make it flat if you wanted, and it was horrendous to clean.
This is a very nice quality changing pad. and change. It is as nice as those that are twice the price. I bought mine when it was around 20.00 so this is a VERY good price at 15.
However, it rips up almost immediately. Yuck. Next thing you know you have a forever pee-soaked foam thing sitting on the dresser. I'm not remarkably picky about these things and we were happy to get this changing pad at such a great price with lots of colored liners to choose from. This may not seem like a big deal - it won't bother the baby if you have a liner on it. I hate to spend more money on a different one, but we're having our second baby and may have to upgrade. Then you realize every time the baby wets the mattress it is soaking into the foam core where you cannot clean it.
As I was reading I realized that many of the other people noticed the same problems I had but didn't find them as troublesome as I did.The comfort of the pad is great. The pad ripped before my son turned 1. The main problem I had was that the material rips very easily. I was surprised at the many favorable reviews of this product. However, it does stain quite easily. I would prefer a better made product that would make it through my son's infancy. It is easy to clean, but the stain remains.
I bought this product because I did not like the one they had at Babies R Us, which received terrible reviews that it stripped the dresser after being placed on it for any amount of time. I am very pleased with the product and the price. Needless to say I have not had that problem at all with this one. It is very soft and cushiony, and the Boppy covers fit it perfectly.
