Has anyone used these as an infant changing pad on top of a bed? Do they tend to slip if the baby moves around?

Haven't used it as a changing pad but I can state emphatically that it does not move under the weight of an adult. In fact it will become slightly adhesive with the mattress cover so I suggest at least a sheet or bedspread. Hope this helps.

My mother sleeps on these (32x36) and they do not move around. I would suggest buying the 200. My mother has both the 200 and 300. The only difference is, the 200 is slightly thinner. For a changing pad, they would be excellent and easy to wash.

I use mine with an adult & haven't tried it with a baby. I know with my adult that after being washed several times, they do tend to slide a little at her feet, but NOT where her body weight is. It's just my opinion, I think your baby would be safe on one of these for the length of time it takes to change him/her!!!

I use them as dogs tee tee pads for my small dogs, i dont think they would move around alot anyway if you laid a baby on it, but thats just my opinion only.

They do slip around. I put a dish towel underneath to keep it from slipping.

Yes, they have 2 wide strips of Velcro on the pads. I have not had any problems with them moving around while using it.

I thought they were just fine. Unfortunately my hubby is a slider - he slides down to the foot of the hospital bed. The sheets do not stay in place when I pull him back up to the top of the bed. (he's non-ambulatory and can't move up on his own). His weight is too much drag for the sheets to stay in place. I ended up using bed pads and skipping the sheets altogethe. For regular use they are okay but they aren't deep pockets and can come out easily.

The belt that comes with the changer has a sticky side to attach to the dresser; however, the pad itself does not attach to the dresser. You may be able to attach it using double sided mounting tape, but that would likely damage the dresser. I have been using this changing pad for 5+ months with a wiggly baby and the pad does not slide on the dresser at all while the baby is on it. This changing pad is much sturdier than the traditional rectangular foam pads.

I have never had an issue with them slipping after getting out of the shower. However, they do not have anything specially adhering them to the floor.

If the pad is fitting into a changing table, there is no need to secure the pad. If you are trying to use the pad on a flat table top (ie chest, etc), then there is really not a way to secure it safely. I recommend changing the baby on the pad on the floor where it is safe...easy to do.

I just purchased the bassinet fitted sheets from baby's r us. All the bassinet sheets seem to buckle the mattress pad a little but once baby lays on the mattress it will even out.

They're no more slippery than walking around in socks on the floor. My 4 and 2 year old both love to help me clean with them, and we haven't had any bumps or bruises yet;)

Not sure it's been a while since I used it. I don't know how you want to use it. I'm a total minimalist. I never had a changing table I felt like it's the unnecessary piece of furniture and I still feel that way. I had the changing pad on the couch, floor anywhere I wanted to change my baby. Skid or no skid was never an issue.

My husband uses the pad and I don't find that it moves around. I like them very much.

We've never had any incidences of them slipping out from our son's feet; they're not very slick, more rubbery. We've played with these on linoleum and carpet.

Yes it does slip around. I have not had it slip off the bed but it definetly slips around during the night

I use then on top of a crib liner when my baby cosleeps with me. That way the baby's body isn't on the scratchy surface of the pad. I have never used them as actual diapers.

Yes and no, my 8 month old can roll off if he wanted but it has a slight incline to the sides which pushes him back towards center (and he is reallllly strong). So while a baby could roll off anything it's a little bit more difficult. I also have a soft pad changing top that I use in another location and he rolls off that as soon as he lays down. So comparatively speaking, for anti rolling, this changing table is better.

No. My baby is super active. She shakes her pack and play back and fourth like crazy. I was worried that she would be able to move this play pen around. I started using this playpen for her and she does try to shake it but it stays firmly In place. I've used it both on tile and hardwood floors. Just make sure all the suction cups are pressed firmly down if not she is able to move whatever section is not secure. Also I've noticed that it entertains her better and shes distracted by the toys on the sides and on the floor. She feels independent and doesn't shake it like crazy
