I don't think it's weird at all. I have one changing station in our basement playroom as well as another changing station on the main floor, which used to be in the bathroom but I had to move it because like you, I just didn't feel I had enough visibility and the kids would, like you said, turn into monsters. I think as long as you keep it neat and clean there should be no prob. I think the most important thing is that the kids are safe and that means you should be able to see the and what they are doing.
