Help! Need a decent changing backpack!

Can anyone recommend one?

I'll have three children so it needs to be a good size, and ideally needs to be a backpack rather than a bag because I prefer having free hands and not having something falling off my shoulder. Love StorkSak but they are eye-wateringly pricey and don't always look that big?

Not fussed about whether it's second-hand, just need something trusty. Would I be better buying a standard backpack?

Thanks!

I have one from Ruvalino (bought on Amazon) it was about £35 quid. ‘Baby’ is 3 now and it’s still going strong.

I have this one from jojo Maman Bebe.

I have 3 DC and can fit a change of clothes for all of them in, nappies for the younger two, a couple of bottles and bottles of premade milk and there’s a pocket for wipes on the side. It comes with a changing mat as well. I like that you can change the strap from backpack to shoulder bag easily (but the straps to attach to the pushchair are too small for my single pushchair).

However it was a gift, if I was buying a backpack I would just be an normal one and a travel changing mat (like this www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/deluxe-portable-changing-mat-d4701.html) which has a section for wipes and nappies). A normal backpack is probably bigger and more useful in the long run.

We’ve always had a fjallraven backpack as our changing bag- great size, hardwearing, not too gendered for me or OH to carry, and can be reused after a changing bag isn’t needed anymore!
