Changing bags

Can anyone recommend a stylish, yet practical changing bag that will not require a small mortgage?

don't buy a changing bag, just get a normal large enough bag to carry everything...

whats your budget?

I got mine from TK Maxx - it's a JJ Cole one and it was £20. It was this one All the pockets make it perfect to store your bits, I even take it to work with the nappies in!

I use an oilcloth washbag, and bung it in the basket under the pushchair or in my handbag

this i a step up from just bunging hte nappies and wipes directly in the basket under the pushchair

I've got a big Graco one (TK Maxx, £20) for huge long trips (weekend etc) but just use my handbag (overbody bag, normal size, not huge) for days out. 3x nappies, 2x muslins, hat, socks, spare bodysuit, wipes, nappy bags.

I have used normal bags as changing bags but I end up losing everthing at the bottom of it.

Looks like a trip to TK Maxx is in order then. Tbh I hadn't thought of going there. Thanks

Anya Hindmarch Oakley is fab- was reduced at Mama a la mode.
I hated my skip hop one with a passion. Not surprised they are reduced.

I have this and I love it. Byt whether it's stylish is probably a metter of opinion.

I have just bought this in black and I love it. It's got loads of pockets and you can fit loads in.

I had an oilcloth one from e-bay for DS2. A lady made them with all lovely fabrics.

Dont really get all the fuss and spending £100 on a bag that wont wash like the Pink lining ones.

Get a bag that you can fit loads in and perhaps use later on. Must be waterproof! And watch the colour - light colours look dirty after being thrown on the ground a few times.

I have a sports bag type thing. Yes you do tend to lose things in the bottom, but my changing mat has pockets to keep all the changing stuff together, and I keep meaning to buy one of those clear plastic travel compartment-bag-thingys from Boots or somewhere, just to keep the spare trousers/pants/mini Cheddars/Fruit Shoots etc in Grin

Have a look at this web site...I think you need a mortgage for some of them, but not all, and its nice looking anyway.

Thanks all. I like the JJ Cole ones. I've never heard of them before.

I have 2 pink lining ones that I find pretty good size wise.

I have a skip hop duo deluxe that is quite big but doesn't fit a great deal in.

I also have a ju ju be which is a nice compact size that fits plenty in.
