Delta Children Classic 4 Drawer Dresser with Changing Top and Interlocking Drawers vs Babyletto Hudson 3-Drawer Compact Changer Dresser with Removable Changing Tray
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Changing Tables: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The Delta Children Classic is the right default: tip-over tested with a wall anchor, interlocking drawers, a removable changing top, and five finishes at mid-range money. The Babyletto Hudson is the upgrade for shallow walls and higher standards, and it costs accordingly.
Delta Children Classic 4 Drawer Dresser with Changing Top and Interlocking Drawers
Buy itFour real drawers, a changing top that lifts off, and an interlocking drawer system that treats tip-over as an engineering problem instead of a warning label.
- Interlocking drawers limit how many open at once, removing the stack a toddler climbs to tip furniture
- Tested to ASTM F2057, the mandatory federal tip-over standard for clothing storage units, with a wall anchor in the box
- GREENGUARD Gold certified, built from New Zealand pine and engineered wood
- Changing top is removable, so it becomes an ordinary bedroom dresser later
- Changing pad is sold separately, so the sticker is not the whole cost
- Delta does not list soft-close glides
- Near 120 pounds assembled and a long two-person build
Babyletto Hudson 3-Drawer Compact Changer Dresser with Removable Changing Tray
Buy itThe premium take on the same idea, and the one to get if your nursery wall is short on depth rather than width.
- About 19 inches deep, so it fits walls a standard dresser cannot
- Three drawers plus a cabinet with an adjustable shelf, which suits diaper-era supplies better than a fourth drawer
- Removable changing tray with an interior area around 31 by 17 inches, Babyletto says it fits a 31 by 16 inch pad
- GREENGUARD Gold certified with an anti-tip kit included
- Costs several times what a standalone changing table does
- Well over 100 pounds assembled and awkward for one person to build
- Sold in a single washed natural and white finish direct from the brand
