Please note: WriggleBum is compatible with all soft change mats between 400mm and 500mm. Change tables and solid change pads naturally provide more support and therefore make the WriggleBum more effective than soft change mats alone. With any change table, mat or pad, the effectiveness of the WriggleBum is also influenced by the size and strength of your child.

The bottom belt, which wraps around the change mat or table, extends from 85cm to 140cm long.

The top belt, which wraps around baby's chest, extends from 41cm to 61cm.

See the How it works page for detailed instructions, including a demonstration video, that will show you how to fit and use the WriggleBum.

The WriggleBum was designed to restrict baby's movement enough to enable nappies
to be changed much more quickly and easily. We balanced this with the need to ensure baby was comfortable at all times and that the product was easy and quick to use. Babies will still be able to do some wriggling, but the WriggleBum will significantly reduce the amount of wriggling they'll be able to do!

Please note: the WriggleBum is not a safety product. Babies must never be left alone on a change table or change mat, for any length of time, even when
the WriggleBum is fastened.

A few tweaks often make a big difference!

Please check out our '3 top tips' highlight on Instagram and make sure:

• That the harness is tightly fastened around your change table or mat so that there's no slack and a gap is created between the harness and change mat.
• The top belt is in the centre of your change table/mat.
• The top belt is sitting right under baby's armpits, at the top of their chest.
• The top belt's strap is adjusted so it's quite firm around baby's chest, but not too tight as to be uncomfortable.
• Attaching a toy to the WriggleBum can keep baby
  distracted, which helps them stay put. Some very wriggly babies may still need
  you to keep one hand on them during the change for extra support, especially
  when using a soft change mat. Babies usually stop being so wriggly once the
  harness has become part of their normal routine, so in time you shouldn’t need
  to do this.

We recommend to start using the WriggleBum when baby is four months old, as this is usually when babies start rolling. The earlier the WriggleBum is introduced, the quicker baby becomes accustomed to it and the less likely they'll become fully-fledged wrigglebums when they're older!

The WriggleBum was designed for babies aged 4-18 months, and is most effective for this age range. It can, however, be used with toddlers up to 24 months(+), depending on the child's size. The top belt's maximum circumference is 60cm.

Machine wash your WriggleBum on a cool gentle cycle with like colours, using mild detergent. Clip all buckles together before washing.
