Quick answer
Start by deciding between a compact 3-drawer dresser with a built-in changing tray or a larger standalone dresser you can top with a removable tray. Your nursery floor plan and how long you want the piece to last will guide the choice.
Size matters more than you think
Babyletto changing dressers range from 40 to 58 inches wide. A 40-inch dresser fits a tight nursery corner but offers less drawer space. A 58-inch option gives you room to store clothes for years but needs a clear wall. Measure your space and leave at least 5 cm on each side for airflow and easy access.
Drawer count versus long-term use
A 3-drawer unit works well for baby basics but may feel cramped once your child reaches toddlerhood. Six-drawer dressers hold more and can transition to a child's bedroom or even a guest room later. If you plan to use the dresser beyond the nursery years, choose a model with more drawers.
Your decision rules for choosing a Babyletto changing dresser
- Measure your nursery width first: If your available wall space is under 110 cm, a 40-inch dresser like the Hudson is your only fit. For spaces over 130 cm, you can consider 48-inch or 58-inch models.
- Decide on a built-in tray vs. a removable tray: The Hudson has a permanently attached changing tray. The Pogo, Yuzu, and Swell can be used with or without a universal wide removable tray. If you want to convert the dresser to a standard piece later, pick a model that accepts a removable tray. A removable tray gives you more flexibility for long-term use.
- Match drawer count to your storage needs: Three drawers (Hudson) suit minimalists or those with a separate closet. Six drawers (Yuzu or Swell) handle full baby-to-toddler wardrobes and can later serve as a child's dresser.
- Check weight capacity for safety: All Babyletto changing trays support 13.5 kg. The dresser top of the Pogo and Swell supports 23 kg. If your baby is on the larger side, a higher top capacity gives you peace of mind. The Pogo and Swell are better suited for heavier babies or longer changing-station use.

Babyletto Hudson 3-Drawer Dresser with Removable Changing Tray 40" (Washed & White): The Hudson 3-Drawer Dresser is 40 inches wide and includes a removable changing tray. The tray has a 13.5 kg weight limit. It is the most compact, space-saving option for small nurseries, but the lower weight limit means you will need to transition to a changing pad on the floor or a separate table once your baby exceeds that weight.
