Our Story
Our simple, but one-of-a-kind change mat cover, was first designed and created to help my sister and I with nappy change time. With three bubs under three years old, we were changing a lot of nappies! We were spending a lot of time at the change table, but the change mat covers we were using simply weren't working for us. In the beginning we used all fabric change mat covers which we were washing constantly. We found that we would end up resorting to towels, disposable covers (expensive and not environmentally friendly) or just the cold plastic mat itself. In a light bulb moment, we thought that if we could have a soft warm material on the top half of a change mat cover for our babies heads, and a wipeable bottom half (where the business happens) then we would solve our problem. We could still keep our babies comfortable and warm whilst being able to wipe off any 'mess' fast and fuss free. Additionally, we had less washing, saving us much needed time and we saved money not buying disposable covers.
We made prototypes to try and we loved them so began selling them to our family and friends who loved them too! This, in a nutshell, is how Bubs First was born.
My sister Bec and I (Kim) feel so fortunate to run the business together on the daily whilst raising our little's Ayla, Tai and Savannah. We are also lucky to have our own mum and younger sister work with us in the business from the beginning too.
Since 2015 we have sold thousands of change mat covers in Australia and around the world. We love our change mat covers because they are both stylish and functional, helping anyone who changes a nappy.
