Rucksack/Backpack changing bags

[thistlemuncher]

Been searching online as I don't think a changing bag will fit on my buggy when two are around and I need hands free to chase my toddler so I've pretty much decided I need a decent rucksack type bag. I have a proper mountain rucksack but I'd like something a little nicer looking for general about the town use.

So far I've found the
Pacapod Picos
Jujube BFF and Packabe - not heard good things about strap comfort
Baby Mule
Allerhand

My problem is I can't get any of them where I live so I'll have to order it over the internet, so does anyone have any comments on them or suggestions for one's I've not discovered yet.

Thanks!

PS I tend to carry a lot of junk as my DH put it! (I also need space in the bag for my wallet, phone, keys, small wash bag with contact lens stuff, glasses, sunglasses and small camera)

Did you ever find anything? I've been considering a backpack bag too....

Not sure if you found anything but have s look on the toysRus USA website. They have loads of really good rucksacks. I have a Columbia one that has lasted 3 years of daily use and still going strong. It is really practical with all the necessary compartments and much roomier than a messenger style bag.

this one?

This looks good - might be the one i go for - quite pricey, but the lasy in the shop raved about it, it can also be a backpack or pushchair bag.

I've just bought a Dakine Garden Lacey rucksack. A surfy one, but has mesh outer pockets for drinks, an organiser pocket and a laptop pocket which nappie/change mat would fit in. There's such a gap in the market for funky rucksack change bags. This one looks nice so fingers crossed it works as a change bag too.

I've been looking at the "puggle baby adventure backpack" and the "Skip Hop Forma backpack" and the "Hap Tim baby backpack" (this one on Amazon). They all get pretty good reviews- my fav is the puggle but it's also the most expensive so I'm trying to weigh it up!
