Is a diaper changing pad patented?

Short answer: specific designs of a diaper changing pad have been patented many times, but "a diaper changing pad" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What this means for your idea

Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a diaper changing pad been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Baby and child products are heavily patented and safety-driven; compare the locking, restraint and cleaning features carefully.
