FIG. 1shows a view of one embodiment of the present invention. Additionally,FIG. 2shows an exploded view of the embodiment of the present invention shown inFIG. 1. The bed changing station/baby organizer is comprised of durable quilted fabric made in various colors (Ref:8and drawing). It can also be comprised of different fabrics such as leather, canvas, cotton, polyesters, etc. Ref1and changing station flap is placed in between a mattress and a box spring (box spring mattress optional) of a bed. Changing station Flap (Ref:1) is uniquely designed to keep from slipping between mattress and box spring. Ref:2,7are designed to keep items such as baby bottles warm/cool. Ref3. Establishes where components should go. Ref:4are suggested for grooming tools but can be used in many different ways. Ref:5,9represent the item name.
