Good points
- Passed all major safety tests.
- Has a safety harness.
- Has 1 shelf.
But
- Using a mattress on the table means the barrier height is less than 100mm (so it’s too low for safety).
- Mattress must be bought separately.
- Castors are only at one end (to move the table you need to lift the other end off the floor).
How we test
Change tables that we recommend have passed all our safety tests, including the roll-off and change table depth requirements. They may have some very minor failures (usually to do with labelling) but we don’t think these are significant.
Worth considering change tables pass all our key safety tests (including the roll-off test) but may have some minor safety failures such as finger entrapment hazards in hard to reach areas, or some sharp edges. They may also have a shallower depth than our preferred 100mm.
