Munchkin Secure Grip Waterproof Diaper Changing Pad, 16 x 31 (Pack of 2), White Review (2026)

Who this two-pack suits

This listing bundles two Munchkin Secure Grip pads, each 16 by 31 inches, aimed at parents who want an identical changing surface upstairs and downstairs, or a main pad plus a backup for when one is being cleaned. The wider 16 inch width compared with Munchkin's 14.75 inch pad line fits a broader range of dresser tops and standard changing pad covers sold separately by multiple brands. Because no cover ships with either pad, this suits parents who already have covers on hand, want to choose their own fabric pattern, or are replacing a worn pad while reusing an existing cover. Parents who want a single ready-to-use pad without shopping for a cover should look at Munchkin's covered single-pad option instead.

Materials and construction

Each pad is filled with polyurethane foam for cushioning and wrapped in an easy-wipe waterproof surface, with a contoured shape and raised sides intended to help keep a baby centered. A non-skid bottom and Xtra-Grip rubber strips are built into the base to resist sliding on a dresser or changing table, and a buckle safety strap is included on each pad. Munchkin also provides fabric straps with screws so the pads can be more permanently anchored to furniture. Because the pads ship without fabric covers, the foam surface will contact the baby directly unless a cover is added, so many parents pair this two-pack with separately purchased washable covers sized for 16 by 31 inch pads.

Everyday use and care

Having two identical pads means parents do not have to move a single pad between floors during the newborn stage when diaper changes happen frequently, and it also gives a backup while the primary pad's cover is in the wash. The waterproof surface wipes down quickly after most messes, which is useful directly out of the box before a cover is added. Since no cover is included, care mostly comes down to wiping the foam pad itself and keeping it out of direct sunlight or high heat that could degrade the vinyl-style surface over time. Storage for a spare pad does take some closet or shelf space when it is not mounted to furniture, which is worth planning for with two full-size pads instead of one.

How it compares with other changing pads

On the site's changing pads guide this two-pack ranks second of seven, just behind the covered single Munchkin 14.75 by 31 pad and just ahead of the Munchkin liners-plus-pad bundle, both sharing the same Secure Grip foam and grip-strip design. Compared with the covered single pad, this option trades a ready-to-use cover for two full pads at once, which suits multi-floor households more than single-station ones. It also outranks the Summer Infant and Summer by Ingenuity pads that include a liner and strap but score slightly lower, largely on the strength of Munchkin's wider 16 inch sizing and non-skid base.

Bottom line on who should buy it

This two-pack earns the site's score of 8.8 out of 10 as a value-focused option for parents setting up more than one changing station or wanting a spare pad on hand. It suits households with two floors, multiple caregivers in different rooms, or anyone replacing an existing pad while keeping their current cover. It is a weaker fit for a first-time single-station setup, since buying covers separately adds a step and cost that a covered single pad avoids. For pure practicality across a larger home, though, two matched 16 by 31 inch pads at once is hard to beat.
