Organic Cotton Changing Pad Cover

I was looking at the Serta Organic Contour Pad from Babies R Us for $29.99
This changing pad has a phthalate-free vinyl cover. The interior is 85% polyester and 15% organic cotton. These fibers are compatible to pass the requirements for TB 133 flammability testing which is authorized by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The vinyl used is not made out of PVC vinyl. The contour sides are nice. I would never leave my baby unattended, but I like the idea that the baby can't slide off as easy since I don't have an actual changing table (I'm short on space so I got a dresser/changing station combo and it doesn't come with guard rails) This pad also has straps with screws to secure it into the dresser.

However, I read some reviews. Most are positive, but some people are complaining because it's not 100% organic- it's just 15% organic. Also, a few people complained that the quality of the changing pad wasn't great; apparently, the seams were coming undone after a month or 2. However, it seems that the people who used changing pad covers did not have this problem at all and I intend on using changing pad covers.

My main concern is the baby's skin getting irritated. I have super sensitive skin and both my husband and I have eczema. I am worried my baby will have sensitive skin and eczema so I was wondering if organic is better or if this changing pad sounds good to you guys...have any of you purchased this item? Also, what are some tips when buying??

Thanks so much! =)

Honestly, I wouldnt buy a changing pad. I never use one. I lay my son on a blanket or towel either on a bed, crib or floor. Whatever is handy and near by
