Hi guy's, I'm 31 and I am struggling to find a baby bag that looks good and one bae can wear too, one that looks like a fashion bag (I had to make do with baby no1). Does anyone else fell like they're making do with their baby bag and just bought the best out of a bad looking bunch?

Bae!? Confused

I had a skip hop one. Looked good but the flap never stayed shut. Get one with a zip.

Once ds was over 1 we got one of these for the buggy. Handy for a water bottle, couple of nappies and wipes and some snacks.

I think I'd prefer Bb because I can keep everything in one place, I just don't want it to look hideous with my clothes. We both put the effort in to looking good, why should we have a pos looking bag.

I'm sure BAE is/was an acronym for British Aerospace Engineering - maybe the OP makes weapons of mass destruction?

www.amazon.co.uk/Koto-Leatherette-Baby-Changing-Brown/dp/B00A2DS5VQ DH got this for me after Dc2 was born 5.5 years ago. It's still going strong ( now have 4 dc) & has the advantage it just looks like a large bag (it was never as shiny as the picture looks). You can't get it anymore but I saw a black version & a cream version in my local boots recently. They're about £50 (or they were) & given I've used it pretty much daily it's lasted well.

Ikea sandwich bags OP. They will keep all the different bits you need separate and sealed inside whatever bag you like. That way you can have a bag in a style you like and still carry around the things you need for the baby.

MrsHathaway · 05/12/2016 17:57

It doesn't have to look like a piece of shit if you buy a bag you like the look of and then put baby stuff in it.

There's a basic minimum you always carry with very small babies (say 0-6m) consisting of spare clothes, nappies, wipes, cloth, then dummies and/or bottles if using. Apart from the bottles, that barely takes up more space than your own purse/keys/tissues/mobile etc.

Having a comfortable strap (you'll rarely have a spare hand) is more important than a coordinated changing mat. Often there's nowhere to put the damn mat anyway and you're changing the baby on your lap - a skill I'd recommend learning ASAP.

I just bought a large handbag that had loads of pockets and compartments (one for my stiff, one for babies). Long and short strap, zippered.

Wanted to use it for a normal handbag too so I picked a blue leather one.

OMG! I'm reading these posts & cant believe how unnecessarily mean people can be. Fair enough to those that don't know what bea mean but I asked a question so maybe just stick to the topic. Thanks to everyone else who had a useful suggestion it's very much appreciated. 😘

I have a white quilted Ralph Lauren changing bag which I love! My friend had it shipped from Maceys as a gift. It's fab! Will try and find a pic.

I have a Lin & Leo bag, on its sixth year now. There's a gorgeous turquoise one for 50% off at the moment.
