Baby Dressers

- Dresser-Changers

If you’d like a spot for nappy changes and storage all in one, a dresser-changer is worth considering. Designs from Mamas & Papas and Babyletto combine drawers for nappies, wipes and spare clothes with a changing surface on top. Simply add a compatible change mat to get your nappy-changing area ready.

- Dressers Without a Changing Area

Already have a change table sorted? A standard dresser gives you somewhere to tuck away onesies, socks, sleeping bags and other bits and pieces that seem to multiply as your baby grows.

Boori and Leander have a range of colours and designs, so you can choose a dresser that suits your nursery now and still works well as your child gets older.

How Many Drawers Do You Really Need?

A three-drawer baby dresser can be plenty for your newborn’s clothes, wraps and nappies, with a drawer or two left for spare linen. If you have more than one child or prefer to keep everything in one place, a wider dresser gives you extra room to sort out each child’s things.

It’s also worth thinking beyond the newborn stage. As your little one grows, you’ll need space for bigger clothes and more belongings, so consider how much storage will suit your family in the years ahead.

Practical Tips for Choosing a Baby Dresser:

- Anchor the baby dresser to the wall

Once your little one starts pulling up and exploring, securing furniture becomes an important part of setting up their room. Always anchor your baby dresser to the wall using the supplied anchoring kit and avoid placing heavy items, such as TVs, lamps or changing baskets on top.

It’s also worth checking whether the drawers have stops to help prevent them from being pulled all the way out.

- Match the dresser to the cot

If you love a coordinated nursery, look for nursery furniture from the same range so the colours, finishes and design details work together. Buying from the same brand or collection is an easy way to make your nursery look well put together.

- Check the materials and finishes

Drawers get opened and shut countless times, so sturdy construction is worth looking for. Solid timber and engineered board have different looks and characteristics, and your choice may come down to budget and personal preference.

Check the product specifications for details on materials and finishes, along with features such as soft-close runners. These help drawers close gently instead of banging shut during nap time.

- Measure your space before you buy

That dresser might look just right online, but will the drawers open fully beside the cot? Measure your available space and allow enough room to stand in front of the unit. If you plan to use it for nappy changes, consider the height and surface area, too.
