To shamelessly ask about diaper/nappy bags

[LouiseTrees]

I’m looking for a backpack style diaper/nappy bag in navy that both me and DH can carry. I saw one on bubbybags but I’ve never heard of that brand before. Does anyone have one? Or have any other recommendations?

Just had a normal backpack with my kids. If you get a plain one it should be manly enough.

I was going to say just get a normal bog standard backpack. It doesn't have to have a name (and pricetag) attached to it.

Yep... an ordinary plain backpack . You don’t need a ‘baby’ one.

My most used backpack was a 12.99 bargain from tKmaxx in the men’s bag section.
Also had a babymel backpack which was used extensively. £60

My £280 fancy bag was not used more than once a month. Who knows why I bought it!

I got one from smyths toy shop for £30 which is amazing! Perfect size and it has a nappy dispenser, a changing Matt & a bottle warmer/cooler! It is however grey not navy but I think there was a black option?

I also just bought a normal rucksack and then a separate folding change mat. Then you have more choice of bags. Just make sure it’s one with lots of pockets.

Also, how you use it is important. Get in the habit of topping it up before you go out, rather than carrying a whole pack of wipes and half a bag of nappies.

Big handbag or normal rucksack. I detest 'special' equipment that costs a fortune and is so obviously a scheme to exploit inexperienced parents .

I have a roll top backpack from Madlug, they do loads of different backpacks in lots of colours. Its really roomy and comfy to wear. For each bag they buy they give a large fold away duffle to a child in care, children in care often have to use binbags to transport their belongings between homes. My sons belongings came to me in one of those charity bin bags that get pushed through letter boxes.

I use this Backpack that OH is quite happy to carry (he'd happily carry a flowery one too).
