Changing bag suggestion

[CandyCane007]

Hello,

I'm trying to find a decent changing bag, any recommendations? Thank you!!

Hello :) I recently bought a baby changing backpack from gigil.com and it's very good value for money! only £40

The yummy mummy bags are lush - a bit on the pricey side but I feel it is worth it. Mine arrived the other day and I'm so happy with it! Just have to wait another 5 months for baby to be born to use it lol

I have a Storksak. Has an insulating pocket for bottles. A handy change mat pouch thing. And attaches to the buggy so I never have to carry it. Plus it looks good. Think it was about £100.

I have had six change bags!
1st- cheap fabric rucksack from Peacocks (or somewhere similar). Rubbish, no separator bits inside and not waterproof.
2nd- Pacapod, bought for about £100. No idea what possessed me to spend that much on a bag! I blame the hormones. Lots of separate bits so very organise but massive and more bag than space IYSWIM.
3rd- Messenger style one (Baba bing), about £40, too uncomfortable to carry
4th- Baby Mel one, around £40. Bought because I wanted something bigger when I had my second. Again, too uncomfortable to carry and wouldn't hang in the buggy properly when it was set up as a double.
5th and 6th- one small Jeep rucksack, one larger Jeep rucksack (both under £20 from TK max). Water proof, couple of sections inside, comfy on my back. Small one for if it's a short trip or only one dc, big one for when I have both dc for a day out.

My advice? Don't buy a change bag. Smallish rucksack with some compartments inside. Let me be a cautionary tale!!

Just buy a bag you like, then lob a ziplock bag with nappies and wipes in, plus a folding changing mat or handtowel. The specific changing bags are massively expensive for what they are

SOUZU (dot co dot uk) have great changing bags and they're actually really stylish too! I have the BFF one!

Really interested in this thread! It takes me AGES to choose a handbag every few years, so this is just a nightmare first world problem!
So far, I think I prefer the idea of a rucksack as think I'll still use it a lot when they are 2 and up, and no longer always slinging one over the back of the pushchair.
These two are the sorts of things I like... but also don't want one that's too big and I feel like a pack horse!!
Do you like these??

I prefer a rucksack type. Got mine for £25 from Amazon - lots of compartments, insulated pocket, plus change mat and bottle bag.

Ordinary rucksack with plenty of compartments for the win if you actually want something you will find useful.

I love my Storksak Elizabeth. It's got plenty of compartments and pockets and a detachable zip wallet which I use for my phone, lipgloss, tablets etc and when I'm swapping to my handbag I can just grab the wallet to sling in.

It was expensive but it's still as good as new 3 years and 2 kids later. It also looks like a nice handbag without being too feminine for DH.
