The changer can be safely used on top of the Stokke dresser. Its protective sides and padded mattress offer a safe and comfortable environment for you to change your little one. The height of the Changer encourages eye-contact, and you can choose both sideway or parent facing position depending on the base unit and room. It comes with a water repellent changing pad with protective sides for baby. This changing pad is soft to baby's skin, removable and machine-washable.
