I bought the changing pad because of the designs and because of terry pad that can be washed, so you do not always wash the whole edition. Before my son was born I washed the complete edition at 30 degrees without spinning. When rausholen from the machine I saw already that the seam has risen, which may not be at such a high-priced product. I then wrote to the company Schardt. Just four weeks later came the reaction, which had nothing to do with the guarantee or warranty, but I could send at my expense the support so that the sewing the nachnäht. Amazon swapped the changing mat then. The new I dare not wash because you can pull apart so the seam again. Therefore, I recommend all buyers to look at the seam if this is firmly sewn before you get legwork. Otherwise, the changing mat is nice and soft and practical. Since the pad I easily slips underneath a carpet laid non stop.
