Changing Table - bookcase

Changing Table - bookcase

Does anyone know of a changing table that can then be used as a book case? I don't want to buy a dresser/changing table, because we already have a dresser we want to use. Or any other ideas of practical things to use as a changing table?


Any help would be appreciated.

I'd like to do this with a dresser. Do you have to add anything to the top of the dresser to secure the baby besides the contoured pad?

i'm still trying to figure this out...

i know i have to secure the pad somehow to the dresser (to the back perhaps?) but don't want to ruin the furniture in the process Chat Icon

If your dresser does not have a lip on the front of it, it's not recommended to use it for a changing table. Too easy for the baby to fall off.

We used this Rail Rider which is molded plastic, but there are nicer wood ones out there. There was a post earlier this week about changing tables where someone posted one.

ETA: Here's the thread with the wooden one that goes on the crib to change them: Thread link

And here's a link to one that maybe can be used like a bookcase, at least the top part: Thread #2 link
