Skip Hop Via messenger bag

in a word - fantastic.

prior to this, I had a changing bag of the cheapy 'that'll do' variety but I could never fit in what I needed so had to take another bag of kit, and when I wanted to find something, everything else would have to come out of the bag to find it.

Well not with this bag.

Yes it is an investment - I think I paid around £50 from amazon. But I have loved using it. It has cleverly thought out pockets and dividers to allow you to stow nappies, wipes, spare clothes etc inside the bag with two top pockets - ideal for tissues, dummies, your purse etc etc.

It cleverly fits to the pushchair handles with little clips.

And best of all, it is not girly, so my husband is equally happy using it.

My son is now 20 months so we only tend to use it now for days out. But it is still in excellent condition and has worn wonderfully.

I highly recommend it, and only wished I had had this ready from day one.

My husband absolutely loved using this bag. I used to have a more girly bag butr he chose this as it is more unisex. I was really impressed by the amount of pockets as it made it so easy to organise everything. My fav feature is the straps that attach it to the buggy, they do make life easier. All in all, I would say definately well worth the money!

This is a great bag for a changing bag. I survived with a M&P basic one but found the shoulder strap didn't reach my shoulder and the bag was square so really bulky. I decided at 4 months to change to this one after a bit of research on Skip Hop bags. There are other ones - Duo and Dash - but I wanted one with a flip over cover and zips to protect my stuff. I also didn't want a bag that was too girly.

This is brilliant -it is slim, has a really clever set of straps to clip it to the pushchair, loads of pockets on the inside and outside and a very nice thick changing mat (I got the bag in brown so this has a jazzy orange mat). The insides are a contrast colour so that you can find things and there is a very useful anti microbial pocket for nasty clothes/nappies!! I've found this really good and now I know what I want in a changing bag this is perfect.

The only slight downside is that the magnets on the bag to close it aren't very strong but this doesn't matter as the weight of the messenger cover part doesn't really need it.

It is more expensive (around £60) but that seems to be the going rate for changing bags and worth the investment.
