Childress Full Portable Changing Black Reviews Summary

Size and Portability

Pros:

• "I love how huge it is! Covers the baby head yo toe and then some."
• "It's huge! Which is exactly what we were looking for."
• "Its size is larger than most when unfolded but becomes very compact with its folding and velcro secured closure."
• "This changing mat is large enough to lay the baby on and leaves plenty of room for wipes, diaper and whatever else you need."
• "It’s way bigger than the other travel changing pads which I like."
• "It is large compared to other pads that’s why I really love it!"
• "It's nice and large so baby doesn't hang off and it folds up slim while being padded."

Cons:

• "Its not very compact, but i bought this because we did not have space for a changing table."
• "A little bulkier than I wanted but I guess they don't make them like they used to."
• "This is bigger than I expected which is nice for not only my baby, but my toddler as well. It’s a tad bulky for the diaper bag."
• "It’s a tad bulky for the diaper bag but works perfectly for keeping in the car."
• "Only slightly annoying part is the strap to close it. You have to wrap the nylon strap all the way around the folded product before attaching to the velcro."
• "The only negative comment is that the strap is not positioned to where I can use it to close the pad with the Velcro strap."
• "The thing I dislike about this most is that when you fold it, part of the side that goes against the changing table, then folds up on part of the side that goes against baby’s body... so, it kinda defeats the purpose."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "This is such a durable product for the cheap price, until now it has held up well!"
• "Great quality! Great durability!"
• "There has been no fraying or issues of any kind."
• "The external side can take some abuse from other items in the changing bag, or from whatever surface you put it on, and come out virtually unscathed."
• "Easy to wipe down if it gets dirty too."
• "Outside material is a tough nylon material that should stand up to plenty of wear and tear."
• "It's very sturdy material. Great quality!"

Cons:

• "The only problem is that the way it folds up allows the side which is laid down on the 'unclean' surface to touch the clean side that baby lays on."
• "The material is little bite stiff to fold easily considering you are holding your baby and other things while doing so."
• "The wipeable side (which my baby lies on) is deteriorating after only a handful of uses."
• "Good size, quality is pretty low, and the way it folds is pretty off as well."
• "The plastic feels rough and gritty and leaves residue on my hand, even after wiping it down with a wet paper towel."
• "Minus 1 star because the edges aren't smooth and for some reason, the baby loves the edges and makes every attempt to chew on it."
• "The only problem is that the product was damaged after a couple of washes."

Cleaning and Maintenance

Pros:

• "It has easy to clean vinyl on one side and durable nylon on the other side."
• "Great quality, nice large size that can still be used for a toddler, easy to keep clean."
• "It is very light and very easy to clean, you can easily wipe it out with disinfecting wipes."
• "Folds up small and fits perfectly in my diaper bag and just wipes clean."
• "Cleans really well and it is huge when you unfold it."
• "The material wipes clean very easily making it easy to clean and sanitize."
• "It’s very easy to wipe off and I spray it with Lysol at least once a day to sanitize."

Cons:

• "It folds on itself... you can’t clean the outside like you would the waterproof side."
• "However, it looks like it started to get a little moldy in a few spots which is the only reason why I give it 3 stars."
• "It was missing the velcro strap and clearly had been used (yuck)."
• "Only thing that sucked was the packaging, there was a smooshed fly on the inside of the sealed package."
• "We had to buy two of these. The first one arrived without proper packaging. Upon smelling, the mat stank of pee and we thought maybe that's just how the material smells."
• "Received what appeared to be used or damaged product. Company quickly refunded and sent a new replacement. Great customer service."
• "I noticed that all the reviews mentioned that when you fold up the changing pad you can’t do so in a hygienic way with the original folding pattern."

Comfort and Convenience

Pros:

• "Perfect for airport travel."
• "It's a great pad at a great price!"
• "I will be buying more to keep in our cars as well. *awesome baby shower gift idea"
• "It’s so easy to wipe down and clean and dried pretty quickly!"
• "It’s large enough to cover the baby fully and the wipeable material makes for an easy clean up."
• "It's also super simple to fold back up and wipes clean easily."
• "It's nice and heavy duty."

Cons:

• "Only thing I don’t love is it is always cold."
• "It can get a little cold if kept in a cold environment, so keep that in mind before you expose your little one's backside to it."
• "Although this is a nice large size... it's always cold to the touch which obviously is a problem when changing a baby/toddler."
• "I love this changing pad, it is good size, not heavy and wipeable... although it gets cold and baby doesn't like it."
• "I like this product but for a mom on the go, it’s tricky to fold one handed."
• "The review voted 'most helpful' inspired the 'hack.' Rip the stitching holding the strap and then fold the pad to the center."
• "I was slightly disappointed that it didn't have any pockets."
