A changing table is a small raised platform designed to allow a person to change a child's diaper. It has been estimated that a child will have switched 2400 diapers before it has become 1 year old, which equates to about 6.6 diapers per day.^[1] Most children stop using diapers some time between 2 and 5 years of age.^[2]

It is common to use a changing table until the child is around 2 years old,^{[citation needed]} however some use it considerably longer or shorter. As children become older they may become more mobile and active, and then some parents choose to do the changing procedure on the floor instead.
