Side by Side Comparison of: Summer Infant vs Dream On Me

Came quickly and exactly as described! It fits great on top of our changing table (Dream on Me - Emily). We haven't used with it baby yet, he still won't be here for 5.5 weeks. It seems to be good quality and will last a while. The bottom (where baby lays) doesn't feel that thick and padded, but I am a first time mother and honestly don't know how other changing pads are in comparison or if the extra padding is necessary. The changing table came with a 1 inch pad, so I have that under it for a little more cushion, just in case for now.Update: Been using it for five weeks now. Works great. Super easy to clean as we have a boy that likes to pee everywhere during diaper changes. Would purchase again. Additional padding not needed, baby does fine.

I really hesitated between this changing pad and a few pricier ones on the market. As a new mom, I'm guilty of always wanting to buy the BEST everything for my baby--even if that sometimes means spending over 100 dollars on a changing pad my daughter will lay on for less than 5 minutes at a time to get her butt wiped (yes, I'm thinking of the Keekaroo Peanut Diaper Changer). But most times I listen to that voice in my head laughing hysterically at me for falling prey to marketing. I then searched around a little more and saw that this changing pad was incredibly affordable and had good reviews, so I decided to go for it. And, honestly, I couldn't be happier. It's safe, comfortable, fits perfectly on top of our $60 Ikea changing table, and there are PLENTY of adorable, affordable diaper covers that fit out there (I recommend getting at least two covers, so when one's in the wash, the other's on the pad.) Zero complaints. Get it.

I couldn't believe the cost of some changing pads, of course I want my baby to be comfortable but it doesn't need to be as high of quality or price as the crib mattress! We purchased this one after a lot of recommendations & research and are very happy. Fits our changing table and covers perfectly. Love that it comes with straps because we are using a dresser as a changing table. Highly recommend.

I have not used this yet, as my baby is due soon :)However I did open it up to set up the nursery. I can tell this product has great quality, and seems very comfortable. I like the idea of having a strap to hold the baby in place, my first child's changing pad did not have that! I installed a pad cover, and it really looks great!I got a little OCDish, and tested the waterproofness of this changing pad. I simply dropped some water in the middle and watched it just hang out above the pad. It did not go through at all, which is great considering what fluids it is going to see very shortly :)Overall a great buy, at under $20 it was also cheaper than what I have seen at the typical baby stores.

The PRODUCT itself is nice, and is exactly as pictured. It is not hard, but firm to the touch which is good for newborns. When you put weight on it it conforms, I can feel the styrofoam like memory foam when I put weight on it. So it should be comfortable for my son.I am however very irritated with the packaging and shipping. I don't know if it was Amazon or FedEx, but I am NOT very happy about the giant tear and dents in the box! Amazon told me this would be here today and FedEx told me it was supposed to be here tomorrow. So I was already irritated about that. Then I get it today, finally, and it's a damaged package thrown on my door step?! I am very OCD and everytime I look at the changing pad my eyes are automatically drawn to the scratch that lifted and bubbled the plastic cover (not sure what it's called, it's like when you scrap a garbage bag on something and the plastic deforms and bubbles). The item wouldn't have been damaged if the box hadn't been damaged. I'm not happy that I wasted my gift card on something that showed up late (or on time, who knows?!) and damaged!I give the 5 stars to the actual changing pad, NOT anything else.Photos of the pad are attached, excuse my pregnant belly!

I've had this changing pad for 3 years now, It is amazing! My three year old still fits on it for diaper changes. Even if you don't have a changing table you can store it under your crib and pull it out as needed. No rips or tears 3 yrs later! Its so convenient to have a pad to change messy diapers on. It didn't have any smell when I received it and it still doesn't now. We put two covers over each other and just take the top on off if it gets dirty. All standard covers fit well. I will be ordering another one for new babys room as wellUPDATE:The new one that came in is not the same model # and has slightly shorter contoured sides. The sides don't come up to a point/look triangly instead it is a squared top. Not sure if this is an update or a whoops but summer brand who I called has not heard of this pad with this model #, yes that is kind of scary how the company hasn't heard of a product that I received from their brand/their tags are on it. This ones model # is 92870z and not the 92000z as listed

You cannot beat this for the price. It is very sturdy and I think it looks nice. The shelves seemed pretty flimsy when I was putting it tougher (which was extremely easy to do), but we've been very happy with them. I use buckets on the shelves for diapers, nighties and other things. The changing pad is very thin, but our little guy doesn't seem to mind at all. We bought a waterproof pad that would be a little warmer for him and he seems happy.

Product arrived quickly and came as described. This is the only baby furniture type item that I've been able to put together by myself with out the help of my boyfriend..I felt proud! Based on reviews I didn't think it would hold much more than just a changing pad and baby. To my surprise, its rather study and is currently holding a TON of baby stuff on each shelf. My nursery is currently disorganized since my LO isn't here yet so I have a few items stacked on the top (probably most important shelf) and it hasn't seemed to quiver from the weight which is reassuring. I might be pushing it as far as putting weight on this thing, but I even attached the hiccapop Nursery Organizer to the side and it still hasn't budged. Looks great and was a good price for a mommy on a budget!

We bought this changing table for our first floor so we didn't have to go upstairs to change the baby and toddler throughout the day. It's a good size to hold diapers, wipes, spare clothes, etc. It's sturdy and a good size to put in our living room.

Excellent quality. Sturdy, beautiful, bright white. Great height for anyone under about 6'3 to use comfortably without experiencing back pain while changing their baby.

Sturdy and easy to build! the first shelf makes it easy to grab diapers and or little things you need like lotions, diaper cream, etc. This is one piece of furniture I use more than 8 times a day!

Perfect. It didn't take too long to put together. I followed the directions and had it done in one hour and 10 min. It matches the light natural wood in the nursery and it fits perfectly in the room. I didn't think I would need a changing table but boy oh boy does this come in handy! I love it! Oh and the price was very reasonable too.

We bought this as a thicker, more comfortable changing pad than the thin one that came with our changing table. It fits that bill very well, and fits right on the table with a little bit of extra room around the sides. The straps are stitched directly to the back of this pad, so I ended up simply replacing the ones that came attached to the table, and it seems to be working so far. A standard size pad cover fit on this just fine even with the extra height (presumably why it's a little narrower than the other one). All in all, does just what we needed, and would work very well for someone setting up a normal dresser or table as a changing station.

I have to say it is so convenient to have this changing pad and it is really great for diaper changing and powdering for my baby.The contoured sides and a set of straps with buckle to make sure your child in securely while on the table, that give me great confident of protecting my baby from rolling off. And the straps can attach the pad to the dresser or table. So the total thing is secure.

Considering so many changing pads are pretty darn expensive, I love that this one is super affordable and I can't really tell the difference from the other more expensive versions on the market. The fabric is kinda plastic-y feeling, so it doesn't absorb any grossness that might occur during diaper changes and it wipes clean. I like the safety strap feature for extra peace of mind when dealing with a wiggly baby. Mine didn't have a weird chemical smell at all, so not sure what the other reviewers are talking about there....maybe I just got lucky or they changed materials since then. Overall, I think it's a great value.

After seeing the prices the big box stores wanted for a changing table pad, we ran to Amazon. We picked this up for about 50% of the big box cost.So far we've gone through two of these pads and have been pleased. With both, we have only noticed a slight plastic smell that many other reviewers mentioned. Nothing overwhelming. We've found this pad works perfectly well and does seem to fit all standard covers.To answer some common questions:- The pad measures 31 1/2" long by 16" wide (see photos)- There is a set of straps to securely buckle your child in while on the table, and a third strap for securing (with a screw) the pad to the dresser or table. There are no "grips" on the bottom of the pad. Because of its plastic outside, it's actually quite slick when placed on a hard surface.- We've had no problems fitting several different standard covers, from different makers, to this padBe aware that, while the plastic itself is waterproof, the "quilted" perforations in the cover appear to let liquid soak in. I happened to be changing my son while our covers were being washed and he had a blowout. I cleaned up the poo immediately and expected it to wash away. But as you can see (photos attached), some of it seems to have gotten through and permanently stained the pad. Obviously a perfect storm of events for that to happen, but wanted to point it out.Overall a good purchase, especially for the price.

This changing pad is great for the price and quality. It fits nicely on top of a changing table or dresser and the contoured sides help give peace of mind that baby can't just roll oven the edge (but this doesn't mean you should leave your baby unattended!). Easy to clean material of you have an accident that soaks through the changing pad cover.Any standard sized changing pad cover will fit over this. I've purchased summer infant brand covers, as well as other brands of changing pad covers and they all fit well.I took away one star because of how slippery this pad is. With or without a cover, it can easily slide all over the top of the dresser that we have it placed on. It would be nice if there was some sort of rubber strip or spot on the bottom, in the middle, so that it is non-slip.Besides the above reasoning, I still think this is a great purchase for anyone in need of a changing pad. It's a great price and I would recommend to any new parent looking for an affordable and nice quality changing pad.

Yes, some of them do have a residual smell and it does stink if you put your nose to it. I let it air out and it's fine now. It's a nice pad. I think it's the right 'plushness' as it's not too soft that you can't do anything with it but not too hard that the poor child is freaking out.I sewed my own cover for it by just tracing it on extra fabric I had. Any spills and I just wash the cover and wipe that sucker off, I appreciate how easy it is to clean. Fits well in my changing table and I like the contoured sides. Good price for it being new.Update:After using this for 4 months, here's what I've noticed-It gets much softer after being used for a while, but still keeps its shape-If you don't have a cover and use it, be careful of getting anything from the diaper on it. The texturing has a design of tiny circles that are depressed and baby messes easily get in them and will dry without you knowing. They're small enough to where you can't get it clean with a wet wash cloth unless you really scrub. It's a little irritating because I don't see it being dirty initially and then I have to spend about 10 minutes cleaning it up.But, it still is great to have, it fits nicely on the changing table and gives my baby enough comfort during changings.

Looks good after assembly . However quality of product is not top notch.

Easy to put together. The shelves are particleboard. So some of your oils or products may absorb and leave stains easy. I just put mine in a basket, to make no contact with shelf. I'm happy with my product.

Not the most solid build but good for the price. Needed to return it because it is very red in color compared to our darker Cherry Wood crib. There is not a ton of support on each shelf or under the changing portion but likely would do the job.

This changing table is great for the price. I did buy a better changing mattress for it but the one it comes with works. I do wish these pieces came with matching wood plugs to hide screws/bolts. But over all it is a nice looking, functional, easy to assemble piece.

It's sturdy. We use it with our 1 yr old and our 2 yr old. Happy with the color and the size, the padding is a bit flimsy and can snag and rip easily. My wedding ring snags it, but over all it was a great buy for us.

The product is quite beautiful. The white is a true white. Display as in picture. Rated 4 stars because the wood that creates the self and the bottom of the actual changing table is what i would say flimsy, but then again you get what you pay for. Definitely worth the money though. I would recommend this to any exspecting parent.

I compared the size of this product to the one I already own, and it appeared they should be the same size, 16x32, so I was assuming all of my changing pad covers would work on this. Not the case, it seems to be a couple inches longer and my PB changing pad covers do not fit this thing, when they are designed for a 16x32 pad... I haven't pulled a tape measure out to see which one lies about the size, but I'm guessing it's this one since it is the odd one out. Looks like a great changing pad, but disappointed about the size discrepancy.

This is about what I expected. This was one of the least expensive contoured changing pads available and if I were to purchase another one, I would consider going up to something a little better. The outer fabric doesn't seems to stand a little above the inner pad around the contoured sides. The bottom, which they say is non skid doesn't seem to be non skid at all and it freely slides on top of the dresser I have it on. It does have a connector for attaching to a table or dresser but requires a screw to be attached to the back of the dresser. This will keep the pad from falling off the dresser but it will still slide back and forth on the dresser (how much depends on exactly how it was attached). This would be so much better if the bottom was more non skid. I may look into some type of velcro attachments to fix it to one spot better.

I ordered this as a 'package already opened'. When I received this there were holes in the side of the changing pad, I ordered this knowing the package would be opened however I was not aware there were holes in the product. The product itself seems like its good quality and it fits in our changing table. I'd give it a better review if it came with no holes.

Sad that this is advertised as fitting most changing tables... it is about 2 inches longer than the average changing table is. We have 2 different changing tables in the house and this is too big for both of them. Worst part is that it is a great changing pad. Water proof/resistant material and the wings on the side hold baby in well. I wanted to give this 5 stars but it's lucky to get what it is getting. I don't like when companies advertise so shady. It makes for bad customer experiences.

This changing pad is decently padded and easy to clean. I gave it 3 stars just because of the straps. I know they are there for safety's sake but we never leave the baby on the changing table anyway. We just had the pad on the top of our babies dresser and the straps ended up really doing a number on the wood.We tried putting a blanket over the dresser to prevent any more damage and this just led to the changing table sliding all over the place. There is no where to put the straps away when not in use. I ended up ripping the straps off of ours and would recommend anyone buying this do the same.

We are having our third child in a few weeks and I purchased this changing pad as a replacement for a worn out one I bought 5 years ago.The old one had two straps (one on each end) that would secure it to our changing table, and I expected this Summer Infant one to be the same. Unfortunately, it has just one strap in the middle of the pad that secures it with a screw to the changing table. It slides all over the place and does not feel secure at all. I worry that with a wiggly baby it won't stay in place.It is a nice cushy changing pad, however, I was disappointed that there is only one strap to secure it, rather than the two my old one had.One the bright side, it was fairly easy to secure to the table, and it seems to be nice and cushy for the baby. I purchased a few changing pad covers for it and I think it will work.

It's OKAY- if you are looking for a high end, heavy duty changing table this is NOT the right one- but, we wanted something to fit in the alcove area of the living room when the grandkiddos are here and this meets our needs.It is the typical "Made in China" item but it was under $70 bucks and that was a good price- good example of "you get what you pay for".

top board should have been a little thicker but besides that for the price it does the job

It's awesome, but it's so flimsy I'm not sure if it's safe.

Good for the price, the only concern is the flimsy piece of cardboard(?) that is used for the changing table shelf. The holds my newborn but I don't know if I would feel safe putting a 6 month old it. Other than that, it looks nice and is a good size, affordable, and cane quickly.

It looks nice, but the shelves concern me. They are more like thin panels. I'm not sure how well they'll hold up. My baby girl isn't here yet and I don't plan to use once she starts wiggling around 6 months for this reason. Considering the fact I have owned sturdier changing tables compared to this, I would recommend going a bit up in price just for the peace of mind. The changing pad is very thin, definitely get a contoured or thicker pad.

Kind of flimsy shelving. Didn't realize there was only a 25-lb weight limit, this seems quite low. I guess you get what you pay for. Easy to put together; did it myself @ 9-months pregnant, in under an hour. Wish I would have spent another $35 for a higher quality table with a higher weight rating.

Very disappointed in the quality. The padding is too thin. The covering is twisted and will not stay flat against the cushion, straps are too chuncky. I will not go by the number of great reviews. This is a big waste of my time and now I need to hurry and find a replacement. The reviews are stacked perhaps from a free giveaway.

Soft and fits changing pad. As other reviewers have made mention, there is a stain where there is a hole in the bag. There is a round hole that exposes part of it so you can touch it and feel how soft it is. This circle or hole exposes it enough so it gets a blackish stain in that area, which happens to be right in the middle of it. Does not come out with washing. I'll keep it for the price but would not order again.

Tiny holes in the quilted plastic are impossible to clean! If baby pees or poops while being changed, it gets into the tiny holes and DOES NOT WIPE CLEAN easily. This sort of defeats the purpose of a changing pad. Look for a changing pad without tiny holes!

Upon opening the package, I found it already had a rip the size of a quarter in the white cover. The stuffing is not immediately falling out, but gentle use may change that. I suspect this is due to the cheapness of the material.Otherwise, it is just OK. Hopefully it lasts at least a year - but given it already had a hole in it, I am not holding my breath.

Kind of cheap and light. I had one of these for my son a few years back and it held up so well that I bought another for my new baby. The quality seems to be less. It is so light that unless you bolt it to the dresser (Who wants a hole drilled in your nice furniture??) it just slips and slides right off, especially with a kicking and active baby. I have had it for six months and was just changing the cover on it and noticed the pad has turned yellow all over (this is not dirt, we have had no accidents on it!). I would recommend going with something a little sturdier and heavier.

i never thought i'd have an opinion on a changing pad but this one is hard to clean and the outer plastic layer does not fully protect water from soaking the inner cushion looking for reviews for a better one to replace mine.

Very cheaply made. Came with grease on the white parts & is not level

Flimsy. The shelves are made out of a thicker cardboard material and the top one has 2 bars under it to support the baby. The espresso color is red, closer to a cherry red color so it doesn't match my other espresso-colored furniture. I'm probably going to return it if I can muster up enough energy to take it all apart (8 months pregnant now).

We ordered espresso. It came in cherry. We returned it and reordered it. It came in cherry. Espresso was marked on both boxes. It does NOT look like the same color in the pictures on line and it is not even close to matching any other piece of espresso furniture that I have in my house including my crib and nursery dresser. We are keeping it and going to stain it to match the other pieces. Not what I want to do 8 months pregnant!

More cherry than espresso

Two screw slots lack threading

I actually picked this changing table because it very closely matched the crib I had. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. It's pretty and looks nice, but is pretty shoddy. There are two support bars beneath the very thin changing area. There's only one support beneath the lower shelves, made out of the same thin material as the top one.Also, a standard changing pad will NOT fit this. It comes with a thin, flat pad.

NOT Waterproof! The pee will NOT stay on the surface of the pad, rather it will sink INTO the quilting holes. Impossible to clean the stains as the pee is stuck underneath the surface in the foam.

The chemical smell that hit me when I opened the box (the pad was still in a plastic wrapper) gave me a headache that lasted for hours. Called to return it immediately. Too big for my changing table anyway.

I felt the plastic made a funny noise and separated from the base. I recommend the colgate changing pad over this one! Not a fan.

This has little holes it it and gets moldy if little one has an accident on it!!!!! The holes are not a defect! This is just the way it's manufactured! Do not buy. Even if you clean the accident immediately, liquid leaks in and you cannot get it out. Thus...the mold.

Read all the great reviews and figured this would be perfect for what I needed. I was wrong. Its too big to fit onto my average size changing table, the straps on it won't snap together so it doesn't move and my cover won't even go on it because of the size. I haven't even had a chance to use it and the price I paid isn't worth sending it back for a refund for a new one.

After using it for about 5 months, with maybe a few peeing/pooping accidents that made it to the pad, i had to throw it away due to the fact that the pad was reeking of urine, no matter how much cleaning i did. DEFINITELY NOT 100 PERCENT WATER PROOF!

There were the wrong screws included! Therefore I sent it back as I could not set it up.

Lowest shelve support totally broken.

shelving is thin cardboard type material. Would never hold up or make me feel safe in putting a child on it to change. Returned

we retourend it as soon as we opened the box.it was just so flimsy.I did not feel safe placing my lo on top of the changing table.you get what u pay for.i would buy something lil more expensive. its not worth buying it and returning it.

Very flimsy do not purchase this item, only good for few months. The boards are very thin and the whole table shakes. Sorry can't approve this

First off all, my changing table came with no Hardware. The shelves and changing platform its self is very thin I can snap it in half like a toothpick. Don't waste your money on this changing table, I feel it's made for a child's baby doll. This is ridiculous how they would even consider selling this changing table for a baby, I find it completely unsafe.
