Guide Review - The Plush Pad by Ah Goo Baby

The Plush Pad by Ah Goo Baby is a unique diaper changing pad. The core of it is filled with memory foam. This is designed to help make your baby’s time on the changing pad more comfortable. The memory foam is made to help relieve pressure points that might make your baby uncomfortable during changing times.

At first my concern was that the pad, which is not your standard waterproof material, would be difficult to clean, but the fabric is actually water repellent and machine washable – a must when you’ve got a naked baby involved. I also really liked that each piece was removable, by way of a zippered pouch on the changing pad.

The Plush Pad rolls up to take up very little room in the diaper bag, and I also found that the roll was easier to find in my diaper bag than the typical foldable pad. Rolled up it measures ten inches by three inches, but when you open it up, it’s a luxurious two feet by two feet.

The Plush Pad makes a great portable changing station for traveling or even as a second station in your home, such as a downstairs place to change your baby’s diaper or at a second location such as grandma’s house. This makes it a very usable changing pad for all parents or grandparents.

Somewhat disappointed..., Member Jasra062709

Although the pad is comfortable, being a first time parent with a newborn that likes to pee or poo many times after I take the diaper off, I find that this pad is not worth needing to throw it in the washer every time he does this. In addition, I didn't read the washing instructions (which that part was my fault, but I'm sure there's plenty of you out there like me that don't always read the instructions) but the first time I threw it in the washer/ dryer, the memory foam was still wet and had folded several times within the cover. When I went to pull it out of the cover to let the foam dry, I accidentally ripped the memory foam while trying to get it out. In my opinion, it is not worth the hassle of having to throw it in the washer/dryer every other diaper change when you can have a changing pad that made out of a plastic-like non-absorbent material where all you have to do is wipe it down.
