Among all the range of childcare, the travel changing mat is an essential accessory, which can very often save your life!

What is a travel changing mat?

A travel changing mat is an essential accessory to have in your diaper bag. It is this accessory that will replace your changing table when you are not at home.

How to use a portable changing mat?

You can use it in the park, in the restaurant, at friends' houses, in the car (while stationary of course), at the beach... The travel changing mat can be used anywhere, on a smooth surface. All you have to do is unfold it and spread it wherever you want, depending on your possibilities.

Often, in public toilets you will find a space dedicated to baby changing. You will generally find a table at the right height for changing your baby. To avoid putting your baby directly on it (not very hygienic), first unfold your changing mat, then wash it.

What are the criteria to take into account when choosing your travel changing mat?

It is an accessory that is important in the childcare range. It will come in handy more than once, and save your life!

The size

To avoid taking up too much space in your changing bag, or in your suitcase, the nomadic changing mat must not exceed 60x45cm. A portable changing mat must also be foldable to minimize its space in your bag.

The material

Like everything that comes into contact with babies' skin, always choose healthy and natural materials such as cotton. Cotton is a solid material that lets the skin breathe.

At Milinane, we use two types of cotton fabric to make our changing mats. Cotton canvas is used outdoors for its robustness over time. The interior is now in coated cotton, to ensure its waterproofness. This material gives a slightly plasticized appearance and thus facilitates cleaning with a damp cloth while waiting to put it in the machine.

Children's health comes first. This is why each of our accessories is Oeko-Tex certified and therefore ensures that no harmful products are incorporated during the making of our products.

Comfort

To ensure optimal comfort for baby during changing, opt for fleece mattresses. Our Adam nomadic changing mats have a layer of polyester between the coated cotton fabric and the cotton canvas to ensure this comfort function. Ideal for changing baby on any flat surface!

Practicality

The travel changing mat is an accessory that sometimes saves our lives, so it might as well be practical!

At Milinane, practicality is a criterion to take into account in each creation. This is why we have added an interior pocket to all our mattresses. It allows you to store a spare diaper and a few wipes discreetly, without having to search for them at the bottom of your diaper bag.

To make life easier for parents, our mattresses close with one hand using a magnetic button. A very practical tip when you only have one hand free!

Additionally, our changing mats are machine washable.

The colors

There are a lot of colors when it comes to childcare accessories. It is common to match your changing mat to the diaper bag .
