The top surface of the dresser is designed to accommodate a standard changing mat. Always place a suitable changing mat on the designated area. Ensure the mat fits snugly and has protective edges to prevent your baby from rolling off.

• Always keep one hand on your baby while changing to prevent falls.
• Keep all changing supplies (diapers, wipes, creams) within easy reach, but out of your baby's grasp. The side shelves and drawers are ideal for this purpose.

To keep your Vicco Oskar Changing Table Dresser in optimal condition, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as needed, but do not overtighten.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or discoloration of the furniture.
