Making Cleanup Quick and Easy: The Keekaroo Peanut Diaper Changer Review

After using a Keekaroo Peanut diaper changer with both of my children and marveling as it is still in excellent condition, I knew I had to share this product with other mamas.

In our family, we’ve actually never used a traditional changing table with either child. So it was great to have something that made diaper changes easy to do anywhere and everywhere. I’ve changed diapers on a table, the floor, the couch—you get the picture.

We just moved our Keekaro to whatever room we happened to be in at the time or kept it in the bedroom for middle-of-the-night diaper changes. Both of my boys found it extremely comfortable and whenever there was a need to clean the Keekaroo Peanut, it was a matter of seconds to wipe it down in a sanitary manner. The excellent shape and design of the Keekaroo Peanut also makes it a great “container,” especially for younger babies who are going through a wiggly phase. My younger son is currently a young toddler, so we still use it if there’s an emergency overnight diaper change needed. And the Keekaro can be used for a child up to 150 pounds, so this is definitely a product you can use for a very long time or for families with different needs.

Solid Features and a Mark for Safety

Although the Keekaroo Peanut diaper changer is one solid piece, it can be used to change your child anywhere around the house where you choose to use it. It features a durable outer shell with a solid protective layer that inhibits the growth of bacteria when you’re changing your baby or toddler’s diaper. A firm base ensures that if you are using it as designed—with the safety strap securing your baby anytime you change them—you may use it on a higher surface such as a changing table. So, you have the option of using the Keekaro Peanut in one location in the house, or moving it around as you find convenient for you needs.

The Keekaroo Peanut is manufactured fairly in the USA and its water-resistant materials make it mold-resistant as well, which is helpful when you’re already busy cleaning up after your baby.

The ‘Crème de la Crème’ of Diaper Changers

As a diaper changer, the Keekaroo Peanut is basically the “creme de la creme” because you can put it anywhere from a changing table to next to your bed thanks to its safety features that include a sturdy base and safety strap.

The Keekaroo is able to support up to 30 pounds and is designed to avoid cracking, peeling, or holes. While firm and durable, it is also soft and comfy for your infant. It measures 32 inches long, so it’s long enough to accommodate a baby or a young toddler. Its excellent peanut shape usually means that any “liquids” during changing all go to the bottom of the changer, so it makes clean-up even more of a breeze.

If you’re wondering what magical material makes the Keekaro possible, it’s made from sturdy polyurethane polymer but still manages to be free of any harmful substances like BPA, phthalates, or formaldehyde.

A Plus Environmentally-Minded Mamas 

I’m concerned with sustainability and the environment—we cloth diaper and try to reduce our use of one-use products, so the Keekaroo Peanut it allowed us to skip plastic disposable change mats in favor of something reusable.

Yes, it’s expensive, but if you calculate the costs of buying throwaway changing pads for two children for as long as they are in diapers, it comes close in terms of even costs. Its safety features made me feel secure in using it, and the high-quality durable material was also a huge perk, as it can last for years and even be passed down or sold as a secondhand baby product.

I also liked that the Keekaroo avoids harmful elements, such as BPA, that come into contact with a baby’s skin. It is very easy to clean and its antibacterial properties help ensure that there won’t be lingering bacteria on the changer.

And last but not least, I loved that the Keekaro added a splash of colorful style to my baby’s nursery. It’s a fun pop of color that makes a mundane task just a little less so.

Stick to Home Use

While there’s practically nothing I don’t love about my Keekaroo Peanut changer, I will say that it’s somewhat heavy, so I’d recommend it more for at-home use. It’s definitely not as conducive to taking on-the-go because it can’t be folded up easily.

Truly Mama Recommended 

I would definitely recommend the Keekaroo Peanut diaper changer to any parent. Even if you only plan on having one child, you will get a lot of use out of it and it can be re-sold or passed on very easily, as it’s a high-demand item.

It’s extremely convenient to have on hand and the reduction of waste is fantastic; no need for a “puppy pad hack” or having to buy lots of disposable changing sheets. There’s a reason why you’ll see so many five-star reviews for the Peanut on a wide variety of websites and blog articles—it’s an item that many parents agree is practical, well-used, safe and stylish for their baby. Because if there’s one thing you will be doing a lot as a parent, it’s changing diapers.
