Can you put this directly on top of a cot bed and change the baby? Or should I buy a cot top changer unit made of wood and put this in??

It's flat-bottomed, so you could put it directly on any flat surface. However, if you have a roly poly baby and lay it on a surface without securing the bottom of the pad to that surface (such as to a changing table or dresser), the lap belt won't do anything to keep baby from rolling off - he would simply roll off of that surface with the pad buckled to him!

The crib fits a standard size crib mattress. I am not sure about the type of wood though. My crib arrived in terrible packaging and there was a huge slice of wood splintered off the slat. Just a heads up, the changing table is nice but 11 month old has outgrown it.

We use it on a table for changing but it would work great on a bed. I think it's one of the best baby products we bought. It's sturdy and super easy to clean.

I don't think it's tall enough to be comfortable to be used as a changing table, plus it's missing a side (that attaches to the bed). But anything can be used as a changing table, I guess, even a crib, so maybe that's why the description says that

Honestly, we have this item attached to our crib that has been converted to a toddler day bed, but it's definitely a safety hazard if your are the overly cautious sort. It isn't installed properly (we had to use zip ties!) and It's almost but not quite as long as the crib itself- which means there's the slightest possibility their head/neck could get stuck. We have it on our 2.5 y/o's convertible crib but it's definitely not a great fit.

Yes, the larger, lower area of the dresser fits perfectly a changing pad for changing the baby. I would recommend a changing pad and you will need to screw the pad down to the back of the dresser.

Depends on a few things. 1: DO NOT use the diaper changing area as a bassinet. It is not designed for that and would not be a good idea. 2. If you are referring to the area the child lays on then it depends on the height of your bed. For a bed that is 3-4 feet off the ground there will be no problem since the 1st level sits pretty high up. Lower than 3 feet and you will have to get up and reach down a little more. Good luck and congratulations!

None. It's not made for to be a changing table. I bought it for the same purpose but ended up just using a separate changing table. Still a nice dresser though.

I tried this with my child's convertible crib and since it is designed for a large mattress the metal bar sticks up over the crib mattress. This will be great when the bed is completely converted into a full sized bed, but unsafe until then. I purchased the Dex Baby convertible crib bed rail and works much better since it is designed for the thinner mattress.

my sons bed is the same way and if you don't move it around it is ok. you could also put a flat sheet or something down on the wood first.

I don't know, but I never used the feature. I always just changed my son right in the bassinet and used the bottom as storage. Was too much hassle to put the changing table thing on top.

I have not, but think it probably wouldn't work because the cot is not flat.

The crib is attached to the changing table, but the changing table can still be used once you pack the crib away... I only used it for changing diapers up until she was 11 months.... She was way too tall for it

It would not be worth it. The bed is not that high. I would just put the mattress on the floor until your baby is ready for a bed.

Yes you can. I have one in mine right now...along with one in both of our diaper changing baskets. I just ordered more because when babies are little, they have a tendency to go while you are changing them and are were getting ours soiled faster than we could wash them. These have saved my couch and bed several times and our little one is only 2 weeks old.

Yes you can, it has instruction with the crib on how to do that as well as make it into a full sized bed. I noticed another person said no it can't but mine came with instructions to do so. I haven't yet because my son isn't ready but I will be soon. Its a great crib, we really love it.

I used mine on wood floor and worked fine! There are little suction cups on it that helps to "stick" it to the floor. Very good play center to little ones until your baby finds out how to shake it and push/pull to move it... But for me it was a worth purchase! Hope this help you :)
