I have used my nappy bag everyday for the last 2 and a half years and am sick of the sight of it.

Has anyone seen a nice one?

Oioi do nice ones, I've got a lovely black & white one and it looks exactly the same as it did when I bought it (on the outside at least :o )

I have this one in red and love it, you can take the lining out to wash and it will do as a large handbag/laptop bag once DS is out of nappies, I did buy it when he was a couple of months old to make it a good investment!

Does it need to be a nappy bag.

I never bothered with DD 2, just bought an oversize leather bag....much more stylish and just as practical.

I think I saw some really fun ones in Paperchase. It all depends on how funky or how stylish you want to be.

I always just chose a lovely bag that was the right size and used that. You can get nifty inserts that hold nappy and wipes.

Tass and madam talk sense, treat yourself to a nice bag that will do the trick for both of you.

I was also sick of the sight of my change bag after 2 DS so I've just bought the Lin & Leo baby bug bag which is just big enough to hold one bottle for DS1 and a couple of nappies / wipes and a bib & spoon. I keep this at the bottom of the buggy and then have a nice handbag for my stuff.

look here bargain reduced to £15

With DD I started with one of the Lin & Leo large leather bags. Lovely but too big once she didn't need bottles and spare babygros lugging around. But then too small once we got into the porta-potties. And the lining stained. Still, I sold it on eBay for a good price!

Almost everyone I know bought one of the OiOi Mini Changing Bags (like this www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/sp+Brands-OiOi-OiOi-Mini-Changing-Bags+A7646 but I got a nicer print) and just popped that into a large bag or under the buggy.

Currently pg with DC2 and am seriously tempted by the Anya Hindmarch www.blossommotherandchild.com/accessories/retail/oakley_changing_bag/65494/ although am Shock about the price and would need to do some serious saving for it.

I bought an OiOi too mum295...it was huge though, so I sold it on ebay and bought a smaller version...same concept, smaller for my bag.

Ive got a gorgeous bag from e-bay from a lady that makes them. Am hopeless with links but her user name is:-ellieandollieuk.

Its made of oilskin material so completely waterproof and has loads of pockets inside.

Think mine was £20 and I absolutely love it. Have had loads of comments on it as its quite unusual but practical and cheap!

I just use a large leather squashy handbag (happens to be Boden, I don't think they do the particular make anymore). Ziplock freezer bag for the nappies and wipes. I take a clean tes towel if I might need a mat(but normally don't bother).

I have just bought this - it arrived today and it is gorgeous :)
Really roomy, lovely colour, lots of space (i have 2 in nappies) and it looks like a stylish handbag. Will be able to use it as a weekend bag once no longer needed as changing bag.
Ordered from Thatcuteage on Monday evening - free postage - and it arrived today.
