Pack N Play as Changing table

[bnme]

OK, how do you organize the changing station of the PNP? I have Cubby Parade model in my den. It has compartments on the side but them seem useless for any think but a few diapers and maybe a travel case of wipes. My DS is still using the bassinette so I can't put the supplies there. And when he isn't using that I'll likely want access to the bottom portion.

Any tips?

We have the same model and use it as our downstairs changing area. I stand a few diapers up (he's in size 3 Pampers now) in the two outer compartments, and I put a full-size tub of wipes (Kirkland from Costco, but I have also had Huggies wipes in there) standing on end in the middle compartment. Since it's not our primary changing area, it's not a big deal to keep only 6 or so diapers in it, and I don't really need anything else there. Good luck!

Thanks! I didn't try it sideways. Not very creative, am I! It would be a 2ndary station for me as well so it doesn't need to be fully stocked. The wipes were really my problem and I didn't want to just keep travel wipes there.

I have the same model as well and have organized it several different ways. I have kept the diapers standing up in the center compartment, diaper rash ointment, petroleum jelly and lotion in an outer basket and 2 travel wipes containers in the other outer basket. I also have kept a regular size tub of Huggies wipes in the center compartment with diapers in an outer compartment. I found that I was using this diaper changing station so much that I now have a Diaper Depot hooked on one side and the parent organizer that came with the PNP on the other side. The Diaper Depot holds lots more diapers and easily holds a regular container of wipes. The other method I have seen used is a TV table next to the PNP with a basket of diapers and the regular tub of wipes sitting on it.

I have this cart: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000059XRJ/qid=1045792534/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/104-3750569-6449535?v=glance&s=baby

I put it right up against my PNP. On the top, I have a stack of diapers, a box of wipes and a tube of diaper rash cream. This cart has several storage areas and when Sarah was smaller I stored all her extra diapers in it. In fact, when she was smaller, I could fit her entire wardrone in this cart! LOL!!!

Now that she is older, I use the interior of the PNP to store diapers, but I still put wipes on the top of the cart. Occasionally she uses it as a push toy, but mostly she leaves it alone.

It is pretty inexpensive, takes up very little room and I have found it to be invaluable.

HTH,

I have also seen this cart at Target.

There is something called, I think "Diaper Depot" made by Prince Lionheart. It is really made to be hung from a changing table, but will fit on the Pack & Play. It is clear plastic and hold diapers and a tube of wipes. There are two small 'bins' on either side for lotion, diaper rash ointment, etc.

That's what I used for DS as my P&P did not come with any kind of diaper holder, etc., but did come with the changing table.

Thanks for all the ideas. I think I am going to look for a diaper depot tomorrow.
