I ordered this product after reviewing various changing mats. The cheaper mats all had reviews of them splitting and falling apart after a few months, so I opted to pay more with the hope the product will last longer. I also didn't want a bulky mat which creates difficulties with storage and I liked the idea of something I could use at home and when out and about with my baby. The built-in pillow is not particularly substantial, however I like the size of the product and the fact it is quite discrete, making it more 'acceptable' for my partner to take with him when outdoors. I haven't tried out the wipes box, so cannot comment on whether it will keep them moist to aid cleaning. Only time will tell whether it is durable, but I am happy with the purchase.
