Longchamp backpack for baby bag

[girlmum6]

I am due to have a baby soon and need to get a baby bag for when out and about for a change of clothes, nappies, wipes, snacks etc. I’d quite like to get one I could use for a long time though and thought of getting a Longchamp backpack. Does anyone know if one would be big enough to hold the usual baby bits? Thanks

Not big enough for a newborn / young baby
especially if you bottle feed

with a new born / young baby if you’re out for a few hours you need a handful of nappies, wipes, change of clothes, calpol, changing mat… I could go on

Also, you’ll be constantly taking it off and on, better to have one that you sling over one shoulder that opens up for easy access if holding baby

Thanks @Returnofjude. I will look for something else in that case

Definitely not big enough!

From a Google search no, definitely not big enough but I would get a backpack. I used put snacks/lunches etc in and far easier to carry that way. I got a backpack pre children and I used that so you can definitely get a nice one that you can use after.

Backpack is the best kind for a changing bag in my opinion, but no the longchamp wouldn’t be big enough in my opinion.
Im quite minimalistic in what I cart around compared to lots of mums I know, but you really wouldn’t believe the amount of things you end up carrying with you on days out etc.

Try Amazon they have loads of cheap practical backpacks. A dark colour is best and something which can be wiped out
Avoid one advertised as a baby version - you’re just paying for the marketing

I think it depends on how you intend to feed. I was bf and then when using formula, I just did ready to drink formula individual bottles. So I never needed the insulated bit of a changing bag. I probably could have got away with a standard backpack for clothes / toys / first aid kit + a nappy caddy for nappies / wipes / cream (i have this one on my buggy now DD2 is past the baby stage and find it a dream https://storksak.com/products/stroller-organiser-luxe-black-scuba). But if you are planning on making up bottles before you go out, or taking expressed breast milk, then the insulated bits of a dedicated nappy bag might be helpful.

I've had a Babymel backpack and a Le Nappy backpack. Both been fairly good. The babymel broke after 3yrs, the le nappy is still going strong but we are only 18months in.
