Dressers & Change Tables

For a newborn, the essentials include:

• Baby Cot or Bassinet – A safe sleep space that meets Australian & New Zealand safety standards. Many parents start with a bassinet such as
  SnuzPod5 for the first 4–6 months, then move to a cot that can grow with their baby.
• Baby Dresser with Optional Change Tray – A dresser provides organised storage for clothes and nappies, and Cariboo dressers feature optional change trays to double as a change table (always supervise your baby when changing).
• Comfortable Nursing Chair or Rocker – Helpful for
  feeding and settling your baby.
• Safe Mattress – Choose a firm, well-fitting mattress like the Cariboo Tru-Sleep Mattress, which has a firm newborn side and a softer toddler side.
• Storage Solutions – Shelving or small storage bins
  for baby essentials like wipes, blankets, and toys.
  

Cariboo dressers are
safety tested to AS/NZS 4935:2009 for stability, weighted to reduce tipping, and toxicity tested to minimise harmful chemicals, ensuring your nursery is both safe and functional.

Not necessarily, but a baby dresser with change table, like those from Cariboo, adds convenience and organisation. The optional change trays on Cariboo dressers are another space-saving, safe solution for smaller nurseries.
