The Babymel George is a unisex backpack designed for parents constantly on the move. It is spacious enough to fit in spare clothes, bottles, food and nappies for two children, with plenty of room to spare.
Despite its size, Babymel George is nice and lightweight, so it's easy to carry, and the flexible material means it's a cinch to fold up and store, too.
We love the wipes dispenser pocket at the side of the bag – no, really, this is the kind of stuff we get excited about (we don't get out much any more). But this really is a design feature any parent will appreciate. You can grab a wipe through an easy-lift flap on the outside of the bag when those dirty bum/mucky fingers/grubby face emergencies strike. It even comes with a free changing mat. Big tick.
Can it fit everything you need to carry on a day out?
The main compartment is extremely roomy because the bag is rectangular in shape. You can easily fit several changes of clothes in there as well as two bottles in the insulated holders. The only downside is that it's easy to lose things inside the main section of the bag if you're not the Monica Geller type. Thankfully, the double zip across the top of the bag and down the sides makes it easier to have a root around.
If you're looking for a changing bag that can double up as a return-to-work bag then the Babymel George could easily pass as office wear. The padded tech pocket inside the main compartment is perfect for a laptop or tablet and we're sure you can put those other pockets to good use.
Are the Babymel George bottle holders any good?
The bag has two insulated bottle holders, so it's great for those long days out when you need to keep drinks cool or hot for up to four hours – we tried them out and they worked a treat. Perfect. An elasticated band keeps them secure when you're slinging the bag over your shoulders and dumping it on the floor, too. Genius.
