Travel Changing Mat - As a baby shower gift??

[Ernestcjk]

Hi all,

I have a really good friend who is expecting soon (very soon) and I have been invited to her baby shower. At first I was delighted to come but I just found out from my wife that I have to get something (Sorry! I really am clueless!). And I was looking on Amazon.co.uk for ideas.

My friend really enjoys travelling and mentioned before that she would love to do it with her baby (I felt that it was a bad idea...). But anyhow, I was thinking that she might need a travel size changing mat as I can imagine that the cleanliness of the toilets with baby changing facilities are questionable at times.

I was hoping to get some advice about:

1. Whether this is a good idea and do new parents actually use them?

2. Any recommendations? I saw these 2 on amazon and kinda liked the idea of the 2nd one as you could access baby wipes from the front.

Would love to hear back from all you lovely folks out there. Thank you so much!

Sounds like a fab idea!

Nice idea. Cath Kidson do some nice ones

Lovely idea. They have some gorgeous ones on the Scandiborn website, depending on what your budget is! I would have loved one but they are more of a 'gift' price point than 'necessity' price point so I ended getting one that cost a few quid on amazon. You might want to check with someone else that your friend doesn't have a 'registry', which is essentially a list of things that they want/need, traditionally you would pick your gift from that list!
