Best Portable Changing Mats 2021
PERSONAL NOTE
In an ideal world, your baby will only poop and pee when you are home and you would not need any diaper stations, changing rooms, nappy bags or changing mats when out. But we know we cannot mess around with babies. They have their own whims and fancies, their own timings, their own poop and pee schedule and you have zero control over it. The faster we accept that, the happier we all will be. The more we fight that, the more they will make sure we bend to their will.
First-time mum here and I am fast realizing that the little love of my life, also rules my daily schedule with an iron fist. To the outside world, I might complain but don’t listen to a word I say. Secretly I love that.
But coming back to changing mats and the reason for this post was to tell you all about the wonders of the portable changing mats. When you are out in the world, and your little baby makes “THAT POOP FACE”, you know you got to get to a changing table fast. But a changing mat makes that so much easier. Using them, we have changed bub in the back of the car, in a playground, in a mall and even in a restaurant. They create a clean, portable environment that makes changing your baby’s dirty diapers easy.
The portable changing mats now come in the form of a clutch, which holds all those changing essentials in the one convenient place, as well as unfold to protect your baby’s bottom from rough and wet surfaces. They are easy and light to carry, can be a part of your diaper bag or your handbag when out for quick visit to the shops and even in your hand when out for a quick walk.

‘I looked at a number of products and had a specific list in mind of what I wanted: 1) easy to clean, 2) easy to use, 3) slim, and 4) multi-functional. This product delivered on all of my criteria and gave me an additional one – extra padding for the baby’s head. I truly like how easy it is to use – especially one-handed.

‘So, I had one similar and got one for my sister. We love it. What I like is that it folds down pretty thin. So I add a couple diapers and my wipes and then I can just grab this when I’m out and need to change baby. What is nice about this one is it has some padding where babyhead goes. I always felt bad with my old one and would put my sweater or something there for them. But don’t need to do that with this one. This is my go-to grab. I even will take it itself just out of diaper bag. Very nice.’– Lindsay
