Baby changing areas could have barriers / be on the floor

"Some of the most common places we change our babies are changing tables, sofas and beds. They seem so immobile in those early days that there doesn’t seem to be any risk involved. Unfortunately, the day a baby learns to roll is very like the day before they learn to roll…we never know exactly when it’s going to happen and baby really doesn’t warn us! That might be why for children less than 1 year of age, falls account for over 50% of admissions to emergency departments. Falls from changing tables, beds and sofas are among the most common furniture from which they fall."
