No Keekaroo, No Problem: Awesome Alternatives to the Peanut Changer

It’s always a little heartbreaking when a beloved baby product like the Keekaroo Peanut Changer disappears from store shelves in Canada. We feel you – that peanut-shaped legend was a game-changer (literally) for diaper changes, and saying goodbye is tough.

But fear not, fellow parents! The end of the Peanut Changer era just means it’s time to discover some fun new contenders ready to step up to your changing table.

In this playful roundup, we’ll introduce you to three fabulous alternatives available here at Momease Baby Boutique that can more than fill the void: the Ubbi Foam Changing Pad, Bumbo Change Pad, and Shnuggle Squishy Changing Mat.

These modern changing pads are easy to clean, comfy for baby, and bring their own unique perks to make diaper duty a breeze.

So let’s wipe those tears (and those spills!) and dive into the exciting world of Peanut Changer alternatives!

Ubbi Foam Changing Pad: The Modern Comfort Contender

Meet the Ubbi Foam Changing Pad – a sleek, modern changer that might just become your nursery’s new BFF.

This contoured pad combines a soft foam mat (for baby’s comfort) with a sturdy detachable base that adds stability and style. The foam cushion sits in a trendy basket-like base, giving off chic vibes while keeping the pad securely in place.

Worried about a wiggly baby? The Ubbi pad comes with a built-in safety strap so your little one stays put during squirmy diaper changes. 

Non-skid rubber feet underneath keep everything rock-solid — no slipping or sliding!

One of the best parts: no cover needed!

The Ubbi’s foam surface doesn’t absorb liquids, so you can simply wipe it clean after any accidents (yes, even mid-change surprise sprinkles!).

Pros:

• Super comfy foam for baby
• Very easy to clean (closed-cell foam doesn’t soak up messes)
• Strap included for safety
• Non-slip feet and solid base for stability
• Stylish neutral design

Cons:

• Slightly bulkier due to the hard base (better as a stationary changer)
• Foam and base are two separate pieces

Bumbo Change Pad: The Soft and Supportive All-Rounder

If you loved the Peanut Changer’s soft foam, the Bumbo Change Pad will make you smile.

Bumbo used their famous super-soft foam (like the classic Bumbo seat) to create a luxuriously comfy changing pad that’s all about comfort and safety.

The Bumbo Change Pad has a smooth, cushy foam surface and raised sides to gently cradle baby and help prevent roll-offs. It also includes a restraint belt to keep little wiggle-worms safely in place.

Cleanup is a breeze — no covers to fuss with. Simply wipe down the entire foam surface after use!

Pros:

• Ultra-soft and cushioned for comfort
• High raised sides plus a safety strap
• No-cover, wipe-clean design
• Lightweight and portable
• Modern neutral colours like Cool Grey

Cons:

• Foam can absorb liquid if spills aren’t wiped quickly
• Not 100% waterproof (don’t soak it)
• Slightly smaller than some pads (best for babies up to 18 months)
• Change pad feels less substantial and sturdy than others

Shnuggle Squishy Changing Mat: The Innovative Inclined Mat

Shnuggle Squishy to the rescue!

This UK-designed changing mat brings a fresh twist: a gentle incline at the head, helping to reduce colic and reflux by elevating baby just slightly.

The premium baby-safe foam feels soft, squishy, and warm to the touch — no cold shock for baby’s bare skin. Plus, the 100% waterproof surface wipes clean easily with no covers needed.

It’s super lightweight, making it perfect for moving from room to room, or even bringing along for travel.

The Squishy Mat also features slightly raised sides to help keep baby centered and an integrated safety strap for security.

Pros:

• Smart inclined design for reflux relief
• Super soft, warm-to-touch foam
• 100% waterproof and hygienic
• Lightweight and portable
• Stylish neutral colours (like Grey, Taupe, Eucalyptus, and Blossom)

Cons:

• Slight incline might feel different compared to flat mats
• Slightly shorter length (perfect for infants and young toddlers)

No Peanut? No Problem – You’ve Got Options! 🎉

We know – losing the Keekaroo Peanut Changer feels like the end of an era. But diaper time can still be just as dreamy with any of these awesome alternatives!

Whether you choose the Ubbi Foam Pad with its secure base, the Bumbo Change Pad with its legendary cushy foam, or the Shnuggle Squishy Mat with its innovative incline, you’re in great hands.
