Tiba + Marl: worth it?!

Hello everyone,

Im 25w with my pfb and am interested in buying a tiba and marl backpack but want to know if they're worth the price and, if so, which one from the range that you would recommend?
I am in to fashion and style (which is hard whilst pg!) and love the look of the T&M changing bags but don't wanna splash the cash if it isn't worth it.

Thanks in advance Grin

You really don't need a changing bag.

Just use any bag you like, then use wet bags (available cheaply and in lots of colours) to divide up your stuff. E.g. One wet bag for nappies and wipes, one for spare clothes etc.

Thanks for replying @RelaxMax. Thing is I don't really have anything suitable at the mo. I have small bags and some big bags but not one that's as hands free as a back pack, so I'll be buying a new bag anyway, hence why I was interested in the T&M one.

I haven't heard of wet bags, I'll have to have a Google! Thanks again.

Anyone else who has a tiba and Marl bag or had insight?

The are soooooooo huuuuuuuuge! So not necessary! I deffo think a backpack is a good idea though, my Storksak shoulder bag is irritating as if wearing it always slips off my shoulder - it's usually strapped to the pushchair though. It's in really good nick after 2 years' daily use though.

I have a jujube backpack for whole days out/flights etc, love it, so well thought out.

I had a look in my friend's Fjallraven Kanken bag the other day, lovely and roomy! Not my style but might be yours.

I have one!
Was brought as a gift from work and I love it!
So much more stylish than other changing bags.
Plenty of space for baby stuff and your stuff.
I use the clutch that comes inside to keep nappies and wipes so I can grab it and go when I'm out.
It's so convient having a backpack rather than shoulder bag too.
Deffo worth it. Would recommend!

Thanks @BendydickCuminsnatch I'll check out the Juju one and the Fjallkraven too. I also have narrow shoulders (not narrow anywhere else!) and straps always slip off my shoulders too so good to know.

Glad you like it @hiimmumma, wish I had colleagues like yours! I like that it has sooo much storage and for your stuff as well as baby's. Does it feel huge like the PP said?

It's fairly big but no bigger than a regular Hershel backpack or similar, good for shoving anything you can think of in there.
It's not like a huge hiking bag though.
I usually have it over the handle of the buggy. You can get clips for it. Or just use any buggy clips.
