Will a changing unit fit in a small nursery?

Short answer: A cot-top changer can save floor space in a small nursery. Leave space to walk round it and open drawers and doors.
  • Check the changing top height suits whoever does most changes.
  • Look for storage within reach so you never step away from your baby.
  • Wall-fix tall or heavy units as the instructions say.

What the guidance says

  • Place the cot away from radiators, direct sunlight and blind cords.
