While changing her youngest son’s diaper in the spring of 2006, Sue Wong suddenly longed for a way to make the diaper changing process easier. She was tired of holding up the legs of her wiggly toddler with one hand while with the other hand, trying to pull a new diaper out of the tightly packed plastic packaging, unfold it, and slide it under his bottom.
This son was particularly active, which often made the changing process even more frustrating. What she needed was an extra hand. But that wasn’t possible. So with her background in mechanical engineering (aerospace and telecommunication industries), she conceptualized a diaper dispenser built into the changing table surface that it automatically fed a new diaper for the next change. She also wanted a surface that had fastener strips to hold the diaper flat while changing the baby. So, she got to work and built the first prototype out of cardboard. Thus, the concept of the Ubi changing table was born. She used this prototype for over 6 months and found it to be indispensable.
Stylish, hip and incredibly quick. Not words one would typically associate with changing diapers, but the Ubi changing table is all that and more. The Ubi changing table is available in a basic and deluxe version. Both the basic and deluxe tables make changing diapers a breeze by always having a fresh diaper laid out ready for the next change, while the retro-mod prints and clean wood lines appeal to today’s modern parents.

Tip:
We all have hectic schedules and finding time for regular tummy time sessions for your baby can be challenging. How about building tummy time sessions into your regular schedule? Let baby clock in some tummy time minutes following each diaper change during the day! This can be very easily accomplished when using the Ubi Changing Table, since you are already down on the floor! Position baby’s favorite play mat in close proximity to the Ubi for an easy transition.
We distributed the Deluxe Ubi Changing Table to a mom who was struggling to change her active baby’s diapers on her own!
“I used to dread changing diapers before I received the Deluxe Ubi Changing Table. My baby is very squirmy and active and he needed 2 adults to assist with each diaper change! My husband works long hours and this wasn’t a viable option so I was left having to struggle on my own which made my feel frustrated and incompetent. When trying to change a squirmy baby, time is of the essence. I was thrilled to receive the Ubi which has literally changed my life. I no longer have to waste time reaching for and unfolding the diaper because it’s all ready to go with the built-in dispenser and the fastener strips. It’s as if I have a 2nd pair of hands all set up and ready to go, helping me out and I couldn’t be more happy. I really like that the Ubi changing table is used on the floor, because it’s so much safer this way. Most of my friends have told me horror stories where their babies have tumbled off their regular changing tables which are up high. It’s more common than you would think. I really like the padded surface which is not only stylish and chic, but easy to clean and I feel relieved knowing that the surface is anti-microbial. Following each diaper change, I place my baby on his play mat, which is adjacent and he can clock in some tummy time minutes. When I used a regular changing table, which was waist high, I honestly forgot about tummy time and only remembered at the end of each day. With the Ubi, it’s super easy to remember, because we are on the floor to start with! I know that we are both benefiting from this wonderful product and I was to thank Ubi!”
We highly recommend buying the Deluxe Model over the Basic Model due to the innovative built-in diaper dispenser which will save you time and frustration! We would like to thank Ubi LLC for sending us the Deluxe Ubi Changing Table for this review.
